It is well worth renting an automatic car in Ireland if you plan on seeing a
lot of the country.
If you do decide to, you should bear in mind
that some of the roads in Ireland are very narrow.
It is well worth
obtaining a good detailed road map or a satellite navigation system.
A person visiting Ireland on a temporary basis may drive legally if they hold
a driving license from their own country.
If a person has a license
to drive a car with automatic transmission, they are only allowed
to drive an automatic vehicle in Ireland.
If you hold an automatic transmission license, you should make certain that you
specify this when you are using the booking form.
The majority
of vehicles in Ireland are manual, therefore it is best to make
certain that you choose the correct vehicle for you.
The driving test in Ireland will consist of an oral test, followed by a road
test which should take approximately sixty minutes.
The driving
test may include a turnabout manoeuvre, reversing around a corner
and a hill start.
It is not essential for British citizens to carry a passport, but it is advisable.
You do need to carry your driving licence, or some form of identification with your photograph on. |
