Hi Penny. I was traveling with my sister-in-law and niece and I rented a car. I also rented a wifi device from the rental car company and this enabled me to use GPS on my phone. I *HIGHLY* recommend some sort of Wi-Fi device or UK SIM card so that you can have data on your phone for navigation because a lot of the roads in Ireland are not marked, especially out in the countryside!
We drove ourselves and were completely self-paced. I personally like this method over tour groups and public transport. I’ve lived in Japan for 2.5 years and have gotten used to driving on the left side of the road. It is a bit unnerving at first, but you get the hang of it rather quickly. Definitely take it slower on the back roads in Ireland because many of them are small.
If you rent a car then I definitely recommend Ashford Castle. While it is a bit remote, I love that it’s a resort-style hotel with many activities to take part in on the property. Its a nice place to take a breathe in the middle of your time in Ireland.
Also, if you rent a car in Ireland and don’t pay for the extra insurance, chances are they will put a $4000 hold on your credit card (which will be released a few days after you drop off the car).
I hope this info helps, and let me know if you have any further questions!

I stumbled across your page and have been to Ireland but tried to do everything by rail/tourist bus, taxi and of course, there is never enough time to see and do it all. I am curious, did you rent a car and drive? How did your group get around? I’ve been to Europe probably a dozen times but have never gotten brave enough to drive. I’ve seen Groupons for the Ashford Castle before but it seemed remote and transportation was a concern, I didn’t want to end up paying $200 for a taxi to get there! Any suggestions on getting around?
