KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Swords
- By using a car hire in Swords, you grant yourself the freedom and independence to explore the town and its nearby area without having to worry about using any other modes of transport. You can decide where you are going, when you are going and for how long you are staying at your destination by using a car hire in Swords, meaning that you don’t have to depend upon the schedule of public transport in the area. This is perfect if you would like to take day trips into Dublin or explore the nearby beaches and coastal towns.
- The nearest airport to Sword is Dublin Airport, and as it is the largest airport in the Republic of Ireland, you can find plenty of car hire companies to choose from. You can find Budget, Avis, Dollar, Europcar, and Sixt. You can find their branch offices inside the airport, in both Terminals 1 and 2, near the baggage reclaim area. We recommend that you get in touch with the car hire companies once you have organised your travel arrangements, as their opening hours may vary.
- When driving your car hire in Swords, you must drive on the left-hand side of the road, following the law of the road in the Republic of Ireland. You cannot turn left at a red light unless you have a clear filter light giving you permission to do so, and vehicles that are already on the roundabout have priority over vehicles waiting to merge.
- Similarly, vehicles coming from the right have priority. Take care when driving as jaywalking is not uncommon in Swords and you have a responsibility for pedestrians’ health and safety when you are behind the wheel. Try to avoid driving in the town centre during the hours of rush hour, which are before and after the traditional office hours, as this is when you will encounter more traffic.
- Book your car hire in Swords at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

If you would like to stay within the local area, then we recommend using a compact or and economy swords car hire, as these vehicles are perfect for driving down the narrow streets of the town and will make parking easier. If you would like to explore a little further afield, then maybe you would prefer to drive an SUV or an intermediate car, as they are better adapted for longer journeys or for driving on country roads.

Outside the built up areas, the speed limit is normally between 60 and 100 kmph, and on the motorways the limit is 120 kmph.

If you would like to park your car hire in Swords in a car park, then there are a few that we would recommend. The Ipairc Swords Plaza Car Park is one, and the Pavilions Car Park is another that we would recommend that you use. You can also take advantage of the on-street parking in Swords with zones for free parking and other zones where you must pay to park. The free parking zones tend to be further away from the city centre, while the paid zones are closer to the city centre. In Swords, you will need to use a typical pay-and-display meter when parking, and we recommend that you try and use change to park as not all of the machines accept card or give change. You may also be able to use an APP to register your vehicle for paid parking.
