Dublin: Car rental south of Liffey?
Our hotel will be in Ballsbridge, and we’d like to rent a car to take a drive to Glendalough, possibly with stops in Bray, Avoca, and Powerscourt.
Is there any way to avoid having to travel up to DUB, then drive through Dublin traffic? We’re aware that several companies offer bus tours to Glendalough, but we’d like the freedom to go on our own.

I rented from their other location in south Dublin, on Circular Road, years ago with no issues. Returning to DUB is an option also if you don't want to return it in the city center. If you are declining the insurance coverage because your credit card covers you, make sure you call your credit card company and get a letter confirming coverage in Ireland,and print it out and take it with you. They will require that in order to decline the coverage. I saw a number of people at the counter who tried to decline the coverage but were unsuccessful because they didn't have the letter.

Many thanks both for your reply about a rental agency just a short distance from our hotel, which is quite close to Aviva Stadium, and also for your advice regarding insurance- I would never have thought of that, but now we’ll have a few weeks during which I can obtain a letter regarding coverage.
