KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tallaght

  • Car hire in Tallaght is one of the best ways to explore this sprawling suburb lying in the countryside amid the Dublin Mountains and driving to nearby hiking trails, or driving along the winding country roads leading to several towns nearby like Ballymount, Walkinston, or Fort Bridge. You get to do all of that, without trying to figure out what bus route to choose or which schedule gives you the most freedom. Just get into your car hire in Tallaght, and drive.
  • If you're looking for a Tallaght car hire at the airport, your arrival point is likely to be Dublin Airport. Dublin Airport is home to several international and local car hire companies, which operate out of the parking lot that link both of the terminals together. Once you make your way through the Baggage Claim area and into the Arrivals hall of either terminal, follow the signs overhead leading you to the car hire parking lot. The process from there is quick and easy, provided you have all the documents needed.
  • Driving in Tallaght is similar to driving anywhere else in Ireland. The road conditions are pretty good, with a couple of issues further away from the centre of Tallaght. You'll need to drive your car hire in Tallaght on the left-hand side of the road and pass on the right. Local drivers can get impatient and drive faster than the speed limit, but don't let it bother you. Take extra precautions in the rain because roads can be slippery.
  • The biggest difficulty when driving in Tallaght is the weather, particularly during the winter when there's rain or sleet on the roads. Be aware of local drivers passing you, even in the worst conditions. Some parts of the suburb require a little more vigilance. Make sure your car doors are always locked and valuables aren't visible. Traffic can be heavy during the morning and afternoon commutes, so steer clear of the roads between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., if possible.
  • Mini rental cars in Tallaght are around 74% cheaper than other car types, on average

These limits change regularly, especially when approaching towns and suburbs, so be aware of signposts along the way.

    Finding parking in Tallaght is generally easy, with plenty of private and government-owned parking lots. Finding free parking is a bit more challenging, especially in the centre of the suburb.

The Square in the town centre has ample paid parking available and some of which offers free parking for the first two hours.

Due to bank holidays, flight cancellations and delays impacted our trip and created a bit of a mess. Amy help us out and brought some much needed relief after a rather stressful traveling experience. Hire more people like Amy!

The car we rented wasn't at the location. We spent almost 2 hours waiting on the car. We needed that size so it would fit our golf clubs. The staff was nice enough

6.0 Okay

Staff was really professional and friendly. I did pay 120 EUR for 2 days rental, basic insurance only and had to leave 2000 EUR deposit for Skoda Fabia that was so basic, it did not have Bluetooth to play music. Comparing that to rentals I had in other countries or even in Ireland few years back price is extremely high.
