County Galway is renowned for its rocky coastlines, shingle seashores, and sandy shores. It’d be a shame not to skip town to check out those dazzling vistas. If that sounds like something you’d be into, reserve an SUV or a full-size vehicle. Even if you don’t think you’ll venture off-road, you’ll appreciate all the extra legroom.

You’ll be pleased to hear that there’s an impressive variety of both economy and luxury rental vehicles on offer in County Galway. What you end up going for is largely dependent on your funds and the activities you’ve got planned. Specialty vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not pick a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a cushy medium-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you’re just after a set of wheels to whiz around town in as cheaply as possible, maybe go for a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won’t break the bank).

In County Galway, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This means the driver’s seat is on the right-hand side. If you’ve rented a vehicle with a manual transmission, get ready to be shifting gears with your left hand.

Usually, your rental car company will charge the amount of the fine to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may supply your contact details to the relevant local law enforcement agency so they can issue a fine directly to you.
