Thank you very much for an excellent experience!
Thank you Conn for all your good recommendations ahead of time and all the great information on driving in Ireland that you provided.
We had a fantastic experience on our 14 day adventure out of Dublin (Sep 25 – Oct 9).
We had no problems whatsoever in picking up the car and getting going. About the only issue was that the auto had a defective CD drive that kept up an annoying bang bang bang loud sound all throughout the trip. I notified Hertz when we returned the car.
The car performed quite well and we took Conn’s recommendation to get the tire/glass insurance. As it turned out, we didn’t need it but certainly felt safer.
I had no real problem or issue driving on the left in Ireland, since I had done so in NZ and Australia 6 times before. The only issue was just in getting very tired of being on high alert with the very narrow winding roads. We managed through just OK though. We did 2500 km in a clockwise circumnavigation of Ireland and Northern Ireland. (Dublin, Kilkenny, Cashel, Waterford, Wexford, Cobh, Cork, Kilharney, Kenmare, ROK, Dingle, Burren, Galway, Connemara, Donegal, Derry, Portrush, Belfast).
The only incident at all was leaving Portrush, coming around a corner and finding another driver coming right at us. I honked and they moved over (Chagrined tourists who forgot to be on the left).
I would heartily recommend touring by car since we had the chance to go places we enjoyed and stay however long we wanted, as well as stop at some wonderful spots – especially on the ROK and Dingle Peninsula and Antrim Coast.
We recommended your company to our friends who flew into Shannon and they also thanked me (and you) for this.
When we go back to Ireland we will not hesitate to use you again.
