Self-Drive Tour Vacations

Our Irish self-drive programs enable you to mix-and match so that you can create a perfect Ireland vacation. Plan your own itinerary by choosing the ever popular B & B vouchers, either on an open basis or pre-booked. Also choose from a wide selection of deluxe Irish castle hotels, elegant manor houses, cozy inns or modern properties throughout Ireland. We use Hertz Car Rentals exclusively featuring current model vehicles with either manual or automatic transmission.

Choosing The Ideal Tour

Some people like to wander at will, exploring new places every day. Some enjoy a trip where they don't have to worry about making hotel reservations as they travel. And then other people like a trip where they don't have to drive. It's up to you. However, if it's your first visit to Ireland; do consider taking a coach tour as an introduction to the country before heading out on your own. Explore all the possibilities of an Ireland Coach Tour for your next adventure...
