Hiring a car at Galway

Galway in the west of Ireland is on the River Corrib and Galway Bay. With a population of around 79,500, the city has much to offer visitors and tourists in terms of Irish charm and an arty, bohemian feel. Renting a car from Enterprise will let you explore this vibrant city as well as the surrounding area. You'll find the Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch at Oldenway Business Park to the northeast of the city. Galway has a good network of major roads feeding in and out from various places. However, traffic can be busy. Therefore, allow a little extra time for your journey at peak times. When it comes to parking, Galway offers both on-street pay-and-display parking as well as public car parks. Additionally, many of the retail parks around the city have free parking. In the city itself, visit the Spanish Arch and Galway City Museum. Quay Street is always buzzing with lots of people and street performers and has plenty of restaurants and cafes. If you have time to drive out of Galway, visit the spectacular Cliffs of Moher, about a 90-minute drive away, as well as Kylemore Abbey and the stunning Connemara region. All can be seen on a day trip in your hire car.
