Our services at Dublin
SIXT car hire in Dublin
Dublin is a capital city packed with culture and surrounded by green rolling hills. We at SIXT would like to help you explore with the help of the vehicle most suited to your needs. We have a vast fleet of new, up to date vehicles of varying sizes and classes that answer any budget. If you are staying in town, an economy compact car might be the ideal choice, but if you want to venture out of Dublin with the family you could choose a premium MPV. Our well-situated pick-up and drop-off points mean you have options as to where to start and finish your trip. You could collect your car from Dublin Airport, for instance, and return it to Dublin St Stephen’s Green in the centre of the city.

Dublin car hire from SIXT includes long-term hire as well as weekly or weekend hire options. If you are staying for a longer period in Dublin, we offer long-term hire options so you can travel extensively within the city and travel further afield. The short-term options are made for those weekend breaks or short getaways. We have a range of vehicle categories including compact vehicles, MVPs and vans and the bookable extras include child seats, an additional driver and sat navs. With our extensive experience, our customer service team will be able to support your mobility needs.
Explore Dublin with your hire car
- The Kilmainham Gaol can teach you a lot about Irish history. The historic landmark is 3 miles away from the centre of Dublin and will provide your car hire with parking. Learn all you can about Irish history at this old jail.
- Viking splash is a great way to see Dublin while also spending quality time with your children. The tour is done by amphibious buses and offers a unique perspective on city life. The tour starts about 2 miles from the centre of town.
- The Great Sugar Loaf is a small mountain peak 15 miles away from the centre of Dublin. Apart from its adorable name, it also is made up of a unique mineral composite that makes it beautiful to look at as well. It makes a memorable hiking trail and there are points where parking is available for your car hire.
Summer in Dublin
Although the weather is unpredictable, summer in Dublin can be beautiful when the sun shines and your car hire will be very useful, especially if you are a keen golfer. Use your Dublin car hire to take you to any number of golf courses within an hour of Dublin such as Deer Park or Howth Golf Club. We recommend taking a trip to the beach too – drive out to Loughshinney Beach, just under half an hour away from the city or drive to the Howth Peninsula for some spectacular walks along the cliffs.
