Belfast Intl Airport car hire has its advantages over local public transport links, though Belfast Airport has good transport links to the city centre, generally getting around Northern Ireland is much easier with a hire car. You’ll have more time and freedom to see the sights, getting the most out of your trip, instead of relying on public transport schedules that may not always be reliable. If you’re looking to drive around the countryside as well as the city, a hire car will provide a better and more comfortable option for you and anyone you’re travelling with.

Other tourist attractions that Northern Ireland has to offer are also very accessible directly to and from the airport. Giant’s Causeway is a 1h 5min drive north from the airport, utilising the A26 and M2, which covers just under 50 miles. So, if you’re looking to start your tour immediately, the location of the airport coupled with a hire car is perfect.
If you’re looking at car hire at Belfast Intl Airport, it’s advisable to ensure that you know of the car hire company’s business hours. This is vitally important when arranging collection and drop-off times for your hire car, as some companies may charge you an additional fee if you return the vehicle out of hours. If you check out rates and availability through KAYAK, you can identify those companies that provide out-of-hours collection and return as part of the rental agreement. Either way, it’s best to notify the car hire company in advance to avoid any extra charges.

It was not good experience with budget. Fist they gave a which not I was booked. I received a car KIA picanto, I am 6 feet tall and it was very difficult for me to adjust. I found car wheel alignment was not correct and was risky to drive because when I tried to make steering straight it’s go left. I called their customer service but they refused to change the car. Rather the the customer service told me a magic information, “KIA manufactures this type of car that all car’s steering are moved in left, they are not straight” I had nothing to say, I stopped using the car.
