Car Rental Cork

Cork is located in the south of Ireland, either side of the River Lee. It is the second-biggest city in the country and as such, attracts a wide range of visitors each year. Many of these visitors come to Cork for a weekend break. However, increasing numbers of visitors are spending longer in the region and exploring with car hire in Cork Downtown.

Travelers from the USA can either fly directly to Dublin, or another European airport, before catching a connecting flight to Cork. Cork Airport is served by a number of airlines operating flights from across Europe, with a heavy emphasis on flights from the UK.

Alternatively, US travelers can fly direct to Shannon Airport, before making the two and a half hour bus ride to Cork. Given that Cork Airport is just eight kilometers south of the downtown area, many travelers choose to take a taxi or bus to their hotel. Therefore, guests can then take advantage of cheap car hire in Cork Downtown later in their stay.

Much of downtown Cork is easy to cover on foot. However, buses and taxis are readily available for longer journeys. Those that do choose to drive downtown will find that many streets are steep and narrow. Therefore inexperienced drivers might find navigation difficult.

Car rental in Cork Downtown is much more useful when making excursions outside the city. Guests should make the short drive to Blarney village; home to Blarney Castle and some beautiful gardens. Alternatively, travelers can drive a little further to Cobh; a small port town with a fascinating history.
