Driving in Dublin

Hire a 7 seater rental car in Dublin and drive around

Renting a 7 seater car hire in Dublin to travel through the city with your family or group is an excellent idea and easy to do, but there is some important information to know before you set out on the road. Just like in the UK, driving in Dublin is on the left side of the road. Motoring regulations and laws in Northern Ireland are the same as in the mainland of Great Britain. Seat belts are required for both front and rear row seats, so make sure everyone in your 7 seater is buckled up!

Requirements

You will need to have your valid driver's license, vehicle registration document, and certificate of insurance with you in your vehicle at all times. When visibility is poor during the day it is required that you use your dipped headlights.

If you are crossing the M50 Ring Road between the N4 and N3 interchanges or the R131 East Link Bridge you will need to have Euros ready to pay the toll. Tolls start at 1.00 euro and go up for vans and trucks, so it may be a bit more depending on the size of your seven seater car hire in Dublin.

Tips for Parking

It is important to pay attention to the rules wherever you park as the regulations are strictly enforced, or you could find your 7 seater rental car has been towed or is sitting under one of the disabling programs. You can expect to pay for parking meters in the city centre, and some of the multi-story car parks accept credit cards. You can also charge your street car parking to your mobile phone account using mPark.
