What is the most popular car hire in County Armagh?

Part of County Armagh sits on the border of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. So, you may be wondering if your County Armagh car hire company will allow you to take your vehicle from County Armagh, into Ireland. The good news is that most County Armagh car hire companies will allow you to take your hire car across the border, and some larger companies, such as Hertz, may also be able to offer one-way hires if that suits your plans. Alamo, Budget, and Enterprise are just some of the companies that frequently allow this.
If you do decide to cross the border, there are two important things to keep in mind. The first is that there may be an extra fee for crossing the border. This is usually a flat fee charged per rental. For example, Enterprise charges around £300 for cars hired from the UK that travel into the Republic of Ireland. The second is that once you've crossed the border, all the speed signs will be in kilometres per hour, not miles per hour, so make sure you mentally adjust and be prepared to do some quick maths if your speedometer is only in miles per hour.
If you're travelling with children, you may need to organise a child restraint or booster seat for them. All children who are either under 135 cm or under 12 years old must use a restraint that is suitable for their height and weight. Bear in mind that the child seat rules in Ireland are slightly different, and if you're driving across the border, children who are under 150 cm or under 36 kg will need to have a booster seat as well.
If you're flying to the area, you can pick up your vehicle at Belfast International Airport (BFS). If you've flown from inside the UK, you can find the car hire desks at the domestic arrivals area. Another option is the Belfast City Airport (BHD) which also has a number of car hire companies, including Budget, Enterprise, and Hertz, in the Arrivals area. From either airport, you can drive to County Armagh in around 55 minutes.
