Hiring a car at Shannon Airport (SNN)

Shannon Airport is a major international airport serving Galway, Limerick, Ennis and the southwest of Ireland. Around 1.75 million travellers pass through its doors every year and Shannon is the country's third busiest airport. So, hiring a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car at Shannon is a popular choice! You'll find Enterprise on the ground floor within the airport terminal building. Once you've picked up your car, head out onto the N19, which connects to major routes such as the M18 to Galway and the N18 to Limerick. There's so much to see and do in this part of Ireland. If you head towards Galway, you'll be rewarded with the stunning Connemara region of Ireland with its lakes, coast and mountains. In Limerick, you can admire the medieval and Georgian architecture in this 2014 Irish City of Culture. Visit the castle and art museum, and enjoy the numerous restaurants and pubs (remember to have a designated non-drinking driver), all brimming with Irish charm. Hopefully, you'll have time to drive to Ennis, the capital of County Clare and an extremely characterful and picturesque town. Enterprise Rent-A-Car from Shannon Airport gives you the freedom to explore Ireland.
