car rental in ireland

[stearnz33]

hi-
I will be in Cork for 4 days to start my journey through europe. I really want to see the Irish countryside and it seems that the best way to do that would be to rent a car. Can anyone tell me around how much car rental is over there and if it is a big hassle or worth it?

Thanks a bunch!

Take a look at AutoEurope.com for starters. I know it's almost always cheaper to book from this side of the ocean than once you get to Ireland, so shop around.

(I don't know if you're under 25, but things can be more difficult and expensive if you are.)
