Driving Tips for Shannon

Once you rent a car in Shannon, your Irish adventure can begin. Keep these recommendations in mind for a stress-free experience:

  • Drive On the Left: In Ireland, remember you need to drive on the left and cars yield to the right.
  • Share the Road: In Shannon, you’ll be sharing the road with trams, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians. On rural roads outside the city, be sure to give right of way to the sheep.
  • Toll Roads: Ireland has about 10 toll roads, such as the Limerick Tunnel near Shannon, which can usually be paid with cash or card. To make your life easier, though, ask about our toll program.
  • Road Conditions: In Shannon, the roads tend to be narrow, and outside the city, you may encounter winding roads. Be sure to stay alert and drive carefully around any turns.

Keep these and our other tips for driving in Europe in mind and driving in Shannon will be a breeze.

Absolutely brilliant service from Mark at the desk at the airport. He was so friendly and helpful really gave us some good advice absolute 5-star service will definitely use again. So good coming out of the terminal and the desk was right there getting the keys took about 5 minutes no problem whatsoever.

The staff at Sixt Shannon agency provided us with excellent service. It is always good to answer questions, and the fact that the attendant speaks English and Portuguese helps a lot in clarifying doubts. I recommend it.
