A car hire at Shannon is the best way of exploring the western parts of Ireland with good access to the famous Wild Atlantic Way, a 1,600-mile-long coastal route and one of the world's great road-trips. Visitors to Shannon can also immerse themselves in the world of flight engineering with a visit to the Shannon Aviation Museum featuring a fascinating collection of aircraft cockpits, jet engines, flight simulators, model planes and lots of related memorabilia. And you can't leave Shannon without a visit to the Ballycasey Craft and Design Centre, home to some of Ireland's most talented craftspeople and designers who are eager to sell their creations to passing tourists. Built in 1425, Bunratty Castle and Folk Park is another of Shannon's star attractions with a well-preserved castle, traditional village street, farmhouses, a watermill, blacksmith's forge, pub, restaurant and an excellent display of 19th-century agricultural machinery, all within a ten-minute drive of Shannon International Airport. Shannon also serves as an excellent base for visiting Limerick, a beautiful city located just a 20-minute drive away and notable for its magnificent castle built on the orders of King John in 1200.

" Easy to use online for bookings and very good telephone customer service when i used Auto Europe in the past "
" Friendly and profesional service by all staff at Thrifty.Was given a Hyundai i10 hire car which to my knowledge comes under a 'mini type ' vehicle whereas my booking was for an 'economy type 'vehicle-also it had small amounts of damage but were clearly shown on the photos that were sent by email after pickup.As it turned out i was more than happy with the Hyundai i10 as it used less petrol and was ideal for me as it was only me and one other passenger that used it-is not ideal for rear seat passengers as small space at the rear.Overall i find dealing with Thrifty over many years as providing stress free and professional service "
