KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Dún Laoghaire
- When you get a car hire in Dún Laoghaire you have more flexibility with your trip than if you travel with alternative modes of transport such as buses or trains. This is due to the fact that you can depart at a time that suits you and because you also don’t need to rely on public transport timetables. For example you can drive to Enniskerry in about 20 minutes in your hire vehicle, whereas the same journey using public transport would take approximately 1 hour. You would also have to rely on the schedule of the bus and trains to complete the trip.
- Dublin Airport (DUB) has a wide selection of car hire companies that you can choose from, including household names such as SIXT, Thrifty and Hertz. For example, to get to the SIXT office from Terminal 1, you should turn right once you’ve gone through customs, where you’ll see the branch in the Arrivals hall. In Terminal 2, the branch is straight ahead of you after you’ve emerged from customs.
- When you choose a car hire in Dún Laoghaire you will find that the coastal suburb is popular with locals and tourists who are on day trips to walk along the pier. Due to there being lots of visitors to this town, you will find that many people cross the road where there isn’t a crossing, so you need to drive cautiously. Cycling is also a popular mode of transport in Ireland. Therefore, you should always be aware of cyclists in your mirrors, especially when you are turning.
- When you get your Dún Laoghaire car hire you will find that the town centre can get very busy with traffic, especially with those heading off to the coast or on cruises.

So, if possible, try to stay off the roads between 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, as they are likely to be busier. The N31, which connects the resort with Dublin, is one road that can get extremely busy, so it’s recommended to find an alternative route if possible.
