WELCOME
You're just moments away from learning how to organize a trip to
Ireland and enjoying the beautiful scenary and culture that can only
be truly experienced by driving yourself around the country – and
what's more, it's easier than you've ever imagined! We'll even help
you learn how to drive on the “wrong side of the road!”
From: Bill and Jenny Sankey, experienced Ireland car-travellers from
Australia
Dear friend and future Ireland vacationers,
If you've ever thought how exciting and beautiful it would be to
travel Ireland's countryside by car, and experience the ultimate road
trip found only in the Emerald Isle- but have never followed through
with the planning of your trip because you just didn't know where to
start, then you've come to the right place.
Here's why...
We are Bill and Jenny Sankey, and not too long ago we were in the
same position that you're in now. We really wanted to travel around
Ireland, but were nervous about driving around a country we had never
been in before. We had traveled extensively before, but typically
relied on public transportation or group tours when in other
locations. We knew to really experience Ireland and all of it's
beauty, we would need to drive ourselves. So we set to work planning
our ultimate road trip through Ireland, keeping detailed documents and
notes that we've since put together into an easy-to-read,
easy-to-follow guide book to cruising around Ireland!
We did all of the hard work of research and planning for you so you
don't have to.
Even though Ireland is renowned for its 'laid back' and 'easy going'
pace, planning your trip is still absolutely important. I remember
well the time when I tried to book a flight to Dublin, well in advance
only to find that all flights for that day were full - happened to be
the day of the All Ireland Hurling finals in Dublin! Cruising Ireland
gives you all the details you need to know to ensure you are aware of
all the sporting and tourism events (including the many incredible
cultural festivals that Ireland is world famous for!)
DON'T LET THIS BE YOU!
If you've ever avoided a trip to Ireland because of fears that this
could happen to you, or something even worse, then read on: How You
Can Easily Avoid Travel Problems And Enjoy a Stress Free Road Trip
Around Ireland: Don't be fooled – there is more to Ireland than pubs
and leprechauns, but you don't need to spend weeks stressing over how
to get there and experience it all, and you don't need to pay for
expensive group tours and all-inclusive vacations if you know the
basics. Did you know that the majority of driver's licenses are valid
for driving in Ireland and that most people aren't required to obtain
an international driver's license to drive in Ireland? Do you know
which months are considered most favorable for traveling to Ireland?

* What makes Ireland such a great place for a road trip?

Ireland"

GET ORGANISED
When getting organized to travel overseas to Ireland (or to any other
country for that matter!) it’s important to spend some time planning
for the trip. Doing so often means a better coordinated holiday with
much better use of your time and resources (including monetary
savings!) and in the end a much more enjoyable time by all those
involved. That’s not to say that you should plan how you will spend
every minute of every day of your vacation. This is especially the
case in a trip to the Emerald Isle. As highlighted in the book
‘Cruising Ireland’, one of the great things about touring Ireland
by car is the freedom it gives you to choose as you please – to
spend extra time in places that take your fancy or to take the
diversion to another site that a local has recommended to you. So
planning to the ‘Nth Degree’ before you travel to Ireland is just
not worth the trouble in my opinion.
Having said that there are definitely some planning strategies that
you should employ and a good way to start this process is to reflect
on why it is that you want to travel to Ireland.
It may be that you have Irish ancestors and want to explore your
heritage. If that is the case, any research you do into your family
history beforehand will certainly have a huge bearing on your trip –
influencing the places you visit, the amount of time you’ll need to
spend and even some of the people you’ll want to meet. Perhaps you
are interested in Irish writers – James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, George
Bernard Shaw or William Butler Yeats to name but a few. If that is the
case, the more searching you do into the lives of these people will
inform your journey. (By the way, has there ever been a country
produce such an array of outstanding literary talent as Ireland?)
Anyway, others we know have been extremely interested in Irish music
and have directed their travels to take in some of the great music
festivals and concerts (and a lot of the pub music as well!). With
peace in Northern Ireland now, the relatively recent history of the
Troubles has taken some people’s interest and given them a real
focus on visiting cities and towns in the north.
Whatever your interest, any research you conduct before you travel to
Ireland will certainly make your journey more enjoyable and
fulfilling.
OTHER MATTERS TO CONSIDER BEFORE TRAVELLING TO IRELAND:
MODE OF TRAVEL TO IRELAND
You can get to Ireland either by sea (Ferry services from Britain or
some locations on mainland Europe) or air (numerous flights into
Ireland from various countries around the world).
HOW LONG YOU HAVE
Obviously the amount of time you have for your vacation will dictate
to some degree where you go and what you do. ‘Cruising Ireland’
provides a range of options from one week to three weeks and more.
WHERE WILL YOU GO?
Aligned with how much time is where you will travel to in the time
you have. As mentioned above, ‘Cruising Ireland’ gives you heaps
of choices and offers a number of insights into what you’ll need to
plan in order to conduct your holiday with the minimum of fuss and
maximum of fun.
CAR RENTAL
As you would expect, there are numerous options for car rental in
Ireland. There are a number of decisions which can be made beforehand
including whether to book on-line, what type and size of car will be
best for you and your travelling partners, how much you should budget
for car rental etc. ‘Cruising Ireland’ provides lots of tips and
options to help you make the right, ‘best value for money’
decision.
DRIVING
Aligned with car rental is your ability to drive in Ireland. For many
visitors not familiar with driving on the left side of the road,
driving in Ireland may seem a daunting task. There are things you can
do to address this however and minimize the chance of any accidents
occurring during your trip.
DECIDING WHEN TO GO
Click on the tab “When to Go” above for more information about
what you need to consider when deciding when to travel to Ireland.
WHERE SHOULD WE STAY?
Often the matter that raises most concern for travellers, planning
where you will stay should certainly be thought about before your
trip, but isn’t something to stress too much about when travelling
to Ireland. Again, there are a range of options from hotels, motels,
Bed and Breakfasts (B&B’s) as well as Resorts and camping. The
beauty about touring Ireland by car is that you can experience all of
these options whenever you like. There are numerous tips in
‘Cruising Ireland’ to help you organize all that!
PERSONAL MATTERS
Of course there are a number of personal matters that you will need
to consider such as organizing your Passport, making arrangements for
any medical treatments or drugs you might require, insurance, luggage,
driver’s license (do you need an international driver’s permit?).
All of these matters are analysed and check-listed in ‘Cruising
Ireland’ to help you make sure you’ve covered off on everything
you’ll need to plan before you leave.
Being organized and planned in advance for the things that need to be
planned for, will make your trip much more enjoyable. Don’t stress
about it though – with ‘Cruising Ireland’ you’ll have the
guidebook to help you make planning for your holiday almost as much
fun as actually being on your holiday!
WHEN TO GO
THE SEASONS
Most places in the world have their positives and negatives in terms
of the best times to visit and enjoy the country as a tourist. Of
course, Ireland can be cold in the winter months, but the coastal
areas can still be quite pleasant due to the influence of the
Atlantic. It really is a personal choice. If you normally live in
Bermuda, then travelling to any European country in the winter months
might just be too much to handle! Those in Northern European countries
and North America might find it very pleasant indeed! Of course, the
landscape changes and colours offer quite a spectacular backdrop when
on a driving tour of Ireland particularly when one considers the great
diversity in landscape types across the island. A more diverse
countryside than that in Ireland would be most uncommon. So, obviously
the weather you are likely to experience in Ireland is one thing to
consider. Don’t be put off by winter though, as there are many
positives to being in Ireland during the winter months.
One thing that is important to the car traveller is that the days are
shorter during winter months and you are unlikely to travel as far as
you might during the lighter periods of the year. So you need to take
that into consideration when planning your trip. Also, some
accommodation providers (eg: Bed and Breakfast operators) will close
during the non-peak periods.
SPECIAL EVENTS.
Another factor to consider in relation to timing your trip is the
range of festivals and special events that occur. There are numerous
events throughout the year. Outdoor events, including many of the
Gaelic Sports (Hurling and Football) are seasonal, but many other
occasions (music, galleries and the arts in general are scheduled
throughout the year).
‘Crusin’ Ireland’ gives you lots of ideas and guides you
through the process of deciding when is the best time for you to go to
Ireland!
BE THERE
BEING THERE
So you’ve put together your plan for your trip to Ireland, decided
when you’ll go, how you’ll get there, route you intend to take
etcetera. You might think that it’s all done, but there are still
quite a few additional things you’ll need to consider beyond these
matters though. For instance, it’s good to get some appreciation for
the things you’ll face upon arrival, such as:
* What to consider when picking up your car (some things that can
save you considerable amounts of money)
* More about driving in Ireland (not just the fact that for many
people they’ll be driving on the wrong side of the road!). The road
signs (in English and Gaelic) are different as are road rules. Driving
conditions generally can be vastly different to what you are used to
* Where to get the best tourist information
* Making accommodation bookings when in Ireland
* Shopping, entertainment and great places to eat (and the unique
places and food styles that you can experience along your journey!)
All of these topics and much more are included in the book,
‘Cruising Ireland – Your Definitive Guide to Enjoying the Ultimate
Road Trip to the Emerald Isle’
There’s a number of other matters to consider such as:
TIPPING
Many people have asked us about what the protocols are in relation to
tipping in restaurants and for other services that you might obtain in
Ireland. From my experience, there is not a strong tipping culture in
Ireland. It’s not common in Ireland to see, as you might in other
European countries, the term ‘Service Fee’ added to your
restaurant or hotel bill. Mostly there is not a strong culture or
expectation that service providers will receive a tip. Having said all
that though, in my opinion it is always good form to provide some form
of gratuity when receiving good service. If you go to a restaurant in
Ireland and the wait staff give you very good service, then by all
means provide them with a tip. 10-15% of the bill charge would be
about right in most cases.
TAX REFUNDS
You can often reclaim the sales tax or ‘Value-added Tax’ (VAT)
for goods you’ve purchased in Ireland. In some countries it can be
quite difficult to arrange this, but in Ireland, there aren’t ‘too
many hoops to jump through’! Just remember to ask for documentation
at the time of purchase. You might be asked to show your passport.
Then, all you need to do is make your claim at the airport or ferry
terminal before you leave the country.
ACCOMMODATION
There are lots of options when considering accommodation in Ireland.
There are a range of quality Hotels, Resorts, Motels, Bed and
Breakfasts – right through to caravan parks and camping grounds.
Whether or not to book accommodation in advance is always a question
asked by those looking to travel to Ireland. Of course, it depends
upon your circumstances and when you are travelling and what events
may be on at the time you are wishing to stay. This topic is covered
extensively in ‘Cruising Ireland – Your Definitive Guide to
Enjoying the Ultimate Road Trip to the Emerald Isle’. For now
though, rest assured there are numerous options and with a bit of
pre-planning you shouldn’t face any major issues.
POWER SOCKETS
As many would know, the size, voltage and plug configuration can vary
from country to country so you’ll need to ensure you have adaptors
for any electrical items (hair dryers, shavers etc) that you might
have. Many travel and luggage provider stores will sell adaptors for
use in the UK and Ireland. Electricity in Ireland is 220 volts AC.
