KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Ennis

  • Car rentals in Ennis allow visitors to tour this beautiful part of the world on their own schedule without having to wait for public transportation or spend excessive money on taxis or rideshare vehicles. When you have your own vehicle, it is easy to visit popular destinations like the Ennis Friary, the Clkare Museum, and Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and even see them all in one day since you can come and go as you please when you have your own car.
  • One of the most convenient places to get Ennis Car rentals is at Shannon Airport (SNN). When you are here, you will find seven major brands offering services for rental cars. All of them have service desks right inside the terminal's arrivals hall, and the vehicles for rent sit right outside, so there is no need to ride in a shuttle bus to take you to your car.
  • The first thing to remember about driving car rentals in Ennis is that you drive on the left side of the road. This part of the world has a lot of twisty and narrow roads, so be prepared. Drivers should also know that they will encounter plenty of roundabouts, and remember, you will be going counter-clockwise through the roundabout. If you are on a country road and want to overtake another driver, ensure you have an apparent path, as these roads can have blind spots from foliage and tight turns that can make passing dangerous.
  • Since this is a smaller town in Ireland, you will experience limited heavy traffic in car rentals in Ennis. That said, you may find some more traffic during the rush hour periods that happen in the morning on weekdays from around 7 am to 9 am and then again in the evenings from about 4:30 pm to 6 pm. Since Shannon is a popular destination, you may also find a lot of traffic on the M18 between these two cities during busy summer tourist months.
  • Standard hire cars in Ennis are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • Where are the best places I can park my car rental when I am in Ennis?

    One option for visitors is to park in the City Park lot that has a location on Market St. Here, you can park for up to 2 hours for a cost of around €2.60 ($2.80).

Returning the car was great - the rep was very helpful. And the car worked well. However, when picking up the car, we were hit with an unexpected 10 euro per day charge since I was providing my own insurance. At no point was this charged identified or explained during my booking on Kayak. This doubled the price of the rental. The rep when we picked up the car said the charge was mandatory. I felt swindled since this was a total surprise.

We had booked a 7 seater for a certain price and when we arrived they added on 150% in cost on all kinds of fees. We also booked a 7 seater and they only had a 5 seater which made the week very uncomfortable with bags on laps and they didn't offer any help.
