One ways car hire in Belfast itself, will incur an extra fee with Alamo. If want to do a one way from Belfast to say Dublin, or Cork or other, with either Budget or Alamo, this can also be done, and extra will will also apply. Most car rentals will start from either the main international airport at Aldergrove, on the outskirts of Belfast, or the city airport, named after local football giant George Best, situated beside the city dockyards.
About Northern Ireland
Belfast is connected with Dublin in the south, by the M1 motorway, bringing down the time of travel between Belfast and Dublin to under three hours, traffic prevailing.
Ensure you have some Euros for the Toll Bridge, just past the Ballbrigan exit. There is no need to exit the motorway to fill up on fuel, since the opening of new petrol stations.
Making Waves in Northern Ireland!
Drive your hire car along the coast, and see the Giants Causeway. On the west coast, there is surf, that according to what local surfers are saying, leaves the height of some Hawaii breakers in the shade! But Hawaii has got to be warmer!
Popular pickup locations include Belfast City Airport and the small city of Derry Airport. If landing into Derry, then a short drive will bring you into county of Donegal and although wild and untamed it is well worth a visit, for a few days, or longer, to leave the city stress behind.
