Car hire UK to Ireland [moved from Travel News]
Hi anyone had any experience hiring a car in the UK " mainland" and taking it to Ireland for a short trip? Any problems and which company's accept this?

Are you talking about taking it across on the ferry? You probably should contact the car hire company directly and see what they say.

Renting from Northern Ireland and taking a car into the Republic and doing what the OP wants to do are significantly different.

Flights from the UK Mainland to Ireland are so plentiful and pretty cheap - unless you are visiting North/West Wales, Liverpool or SW Scotland, you may find it much easier to fly and rent locally.
