Cheap 7 Seater Car Hire Dublin Airport & City

Comfortable and Spacious Minivans At Best Price Guaranteed

Last reviewed Sep 2023 by MPV editorial team

Dublin airport is by far the busiest airport in Ireland, other airports like Cork and Shannon are more regional. So if you are visiting Ireland, you most likely will be arriving into Dublin International Airport. The airport is outside the city, and you are able to travel to the North direct towards Newry and Belfast or head into Dublin city.  

We specialise in people carrier rentals, with most demand existing in the 7 seater car hire Dublin category. The Dublin car rental companies understand that many tourists visiting Dublin, in particular those arriving from the United States, can not drive a manual shift. As such, a good number of the 7 and 9 seaters on the rental fleet are automatic shift, example the Ford Galaxy 7 seater minivan comes as manual or an automatic.
