The city of Dublin has rapidly become a favourite for people looking for lively weekend breaks and group holidays. Dublin is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe and also has an incredibly young population with around 50% of the resident population being under 25. Most people coming to visit Dublin arrive at Dublin Airport, which is situated about 10 kilometres from the city itself. The airport is large and handles over 23 million passengers every year; out of those 22 million were travellers from outside of Ireland. A contributor to the massive growth in passengers and holidaymakers has been the advent of the low cost airline carrier Ryan Air creating a route. The airport travels to and from several UK city destinations including Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stanstead as well as other cities outside of the London area.
Being such a large airport and with such a large volume of traffic travelling inward to Ireland there is no shortage of both domestic and international car hire companies with desks situated around the airport. Even with the large availability of car hire companies, they can often be booked up in advance. It can be incredibly inconvenient to arrive at your destination and have to spend substantial time trying to locate a vehicle suitable for your stay. Booking car hire online is the option that most travellers choose for the peace of mind that comes with advance booking. Online car hire companies also offer many perks by booking in advance on the Internet such as discount rates not available at the car rental desk. Once you have reserved your car online you know that arriving at the airport is going to be a smooth transition of car pick up and on to enjoy your holiday!
