The wide, open road is calling, and Glanmire is an awesome base to kick-start your Cork adventure. Situated 4 miles from the city center, the first thing you’ll need to pick up is the key to one of our superb rental vehicles. A full-size car will take you in and around Cork in total comfort — or perhaps you want to detour off the beaten track and explore hidden gems with a powerful four-wheel drive. For getting around the city, we’d suggest a compact car. They might not be as spacious, but they’ll be great at fitting into those tight parking lots.
