Car Hire Car Hire firms are regulated by the Car Rental Council of Ireland and adhere to its standards. One Way' rentals, where you pick up at one location and leave off at a different location, are also available from the major firms for a surcharge. Cycling During the summer, cycling can be a suberb way of getting around and seeing the countryside for the more active. Ireland is quite flat centrally, with the majority of mountains and hills located towards the coasts, so cyclists can choose the type of terrain they wish to tour. Raingear is always essential for those sudden downpours.
Bicycles are available for rental in most hostels, cities and towns.
Contact the local tourist information office for more details. Parking Parking is permitted on streets with no yellow line at the kerb. A single yellow line means you cannot park at the times indicated. In Northern Ireland never park in Control Zones and always park in a safe place in the cities.
