Clare

So, you've arranged all details for your holiday in County Clare but are not sure which rental vehicle will best meet your needs? At Enterprise, we offer different classes of vehicles, giving every customer the chance to find the most suitable one. Two groups may have the same holiday destination, but the rental requirements may vary significantly. For example, a couple who intend to travel together for some backpacking or camping for 14 days could be well served by a mini or compact. A family who is planning to do the same thing with three kids in tow will not only need a vehicle that accommodates everyone travelling, but must also have sufficient storage for all their belongings. If a smaller child is part of the group, then necessary considerations include space for a car seat and stroller. A large compact would, in such circumstances, be a more favourable selection .

The Cliffs of Moher are the most famed attractions here, and for very good reason, as their magical vistas and natural grandeur are hard to ignore. Go to the clifftop and enjoy the picture-perfect views of the waters below, or take your hired car and travel the Loop Head scenic drive, which starts from Kilkee and continues along the coastlines and proceeds to Loop Head Lighthouse. Along the way, you can stop for some interesting sights such as the Moneen Church, Bridges of Ross and even the hills of Connemara. Ennis Friary is made up of various structures from the 13th Century, epitomising Christ's Passion through different objects and carvings. Learn a bit of history at the Clare Archeology Centre and the Clare Museum, then head to Dromore Wood for a noise-free walk along the river and catch a glimpse of the O’Brien Castle from the 17th century. The Knappogue Castle and Walled Garden, Shannon Dolphins and Wildlife Centre, East Clare Heritage Centre and Dolin Cave are other places of interest.

Hiring a car for your time in Clare ensures you can expand your horizons and explore some of the surrounding regions. County Galway is where some of Ireland’s largest lakes are found and Lough Corrib, Lough Mask and Lough Derg have particularly interesting scenery. The Connemara National Park is another attraction to include in your itinerary as it offers a broad selection of wildlife to see. Connemara itself is a vision of beauty and splendour as it is lined with meadowlands, woodlands, lakes, rivers, hills and mountains. Kylemore Abbey is the ideal environment for a quiet getaway with its serene nature trails, a gorgeous walled garden and rich woodlands. County Limerick and County Tipperary are other places of interest to visit.

Shannon Airport serves travellers coming in and out of County Clare, and Enterprise has a branch there. You can arrange for a car hire in advance so that you can drive directly from the airport, eradicating the stress which comes with finding public transport.

Two national primary roads provide transportation for motorists in Clare, with the N18 linking Limerick to Galway, and the N29 passing through Shannon. Across the coast, you will find several national secondary roads such as the N67, N68, and N85, which provide access to places like Ballyvaughan, Ennistymon and Kilkee. The pay-and-display parking scheme is used in some parts of County Clare, including Ennis, Lahinch, Kilkee, Kilrush, Sixmilebridge and Doolin Pier Car Park. Ask about any other systems that are in effect when picking up your car rental.
