What types of cars can I rent in Galway?
Inexpensive, easy to handle and great on mileage, it's little wonder compact cars are the most booked rental in Galway. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Galway?
Galway is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to see what's in the wider region. These are some great options:

  • Head off to Syracuse for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 177 kilometres from Galway, it has tons of amazing sights, including Museum of Science and Technology.
  • About 177 kilometres away, Hartford is also popular with travellers. Set aside time to experience Mark Twain House & Museum while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
  • Plymouth Rock is 306 kilometres from Galway and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.
