KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Tralee

  • Tralee is the largest town in County Kerry and within driving distance of a variety of things to do in the County. Car hire in Tralee makes it easy to head out on day trips to places like Dingle, Killarney, and North Kerry without trying to work out which bus is the best to take and how long it'll take to get there with all the stops. You can take control of your plans and travel on your schedule.
  • Kerry Airport is the closest international airport to Tralee and the ideal spot for Tralee car hire if you're flying into the county. Kerry Airport is home to several major car hire companies and a couple of local companies that all operate out of the Long Term Car Park. The car park is less than a minute's walk from the main terminal exit, you'll just need to follow the signs.
  • There isn't too much to say about driving a car hire in Tralee. The roads are in good condition and there isn't very much traffic, except during the early morning commute on some weekdays. You'll need to remember to stick to driving on the left-hand side of the road if you're used to driving on the right, and get comfortable with manual transmission. The locals are friendly and tend to drive on the slower side.
  • There aren't many difficulties when it comes to driving your car hire in Tralee, except to keep an eye out for animals along the road, especially on the outskirts of the town. If you're in Tralee during winter, be wary on the roads as the ice or snow at certain times in the year can make the roads a bit more slippery. Consider getting snow tyres if you're in town during those months.
  • Mini hire cars in Tralee are around 79% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Tralee?

    As is with most Irish towns, the roads are quite remote and vary in condition, so heavier cars tend to be better for the road. Tralee roads are accommodating though. If you're in the centre of town and don't plan on driving around the county, a small compact car will do fine. If you're using Tralee as a base to explore the rest of County Kerry, spend a little more and secure yourself a 4x4 or an SUV and make the most of your time in Ireland. If you're a smaller family and don't want an SUV, larger sedans are also well-suited to driving in Tralee.

  • What’s the speed limit in Tralee?

    The speed limit in Tralee and the surrounding areas follow the national guidelines for limits in the country, although the speed limit in the centre of town was recently reduced to 30 km/h to make it safer for the locals. If you're out on the open road on the outskirts, the speed limit is between 80 km/h and 100 km/h. National motorways and highways carry a speed limit of 120 km/h. These limits tend to differ depending on where you're driving and you'll need to pay attention on road trips as they can change quickly. Be aware of signposts signalling what your speed is.

  • Where are the best places to park in Tralee?

    It's always important to make sure you're staying at a hotel that offers free parking if you're hiring a car in Tralee. Finding parking in town isn't a problem, with several car parks located in and around the town. Almost all the parking in the town is paid parking and signs will say you need a Parking Disc, which needn't be confusing. Parking tickets are called "Discs" by the locals. What these parking places mean is you'll need to get your ticket from a machine nearby and pay before you leave.
