pointers on renting a car in ireland |

A visit to the car rental shop is often necessary when going on a holiday
to Ireland. Not only does having your own rented car at your disposal free
you up to pursue your own schedule at your own convenience, you would need
a car to get around if you are staying in a self-catered home set in a
remote location.
The great thing about renting cars nowadays is that it can be done through
the Internet. You simply visit the car rental agency's website, pick the
car that you want, make reservations and pay using your credit card or
whatever online payment facility available to you. You can make your
arrangements with the rental car company in such a way that the vehicle you
want will be waiting for you once your airplane lands on Ireland.
However, if you are coming to Ireland from the United States or Canada,
your notion of what a rented car is would probably be different from what
rented cars actually are in Ireland. For one, manual transmission and
right-hand driving are the norms in Ireland and the rest of Europe, so
actually driving the car can get confusing for you if you are used to
automatic transmission and left-hand driving.
Another thing that will surprise you if you are an American or a Canadian
driver and you are renting a car in Ireland is that Europeans are much more
used to smaller cars than Americans or Canadians do. While Americans and
Canadians pay more attention to the size of the seats and the actual
legroom of the car, Europeans are more concerned with the car's fuel
efficiency and the way it will function when parking conditions are
cramped.
