Shannon Car Hire

Rent Cars in Shannon

Located on the banks of the Shannon River, Shannon is a lovely town in County Clare, which sits in the western Irish province of Munster. Shannon is less than an hour from the Atlantic Ocean, and visitors should be sure to take a day trip west to see the lovely sites of Ireland’s coast.

Particularly impressive are the Cliffs of Moher, one of Ireland’s favorite destinations. Rising as high as 214 metres above the Atlantic below, the cliffs offer spectacular views. On clear days the distant Aran Islands are visible, with particularly stunning views from O’Brien’s Tower, built in 1835.

The Irish coast is full of beautiful places to visit during your time in Shannon, so be sure you have the means to tour each of them. Auto Europe has just the discount car hire to make the most of your trip. Auto Europe offers Shannon rental car pick up locations and a large car hire fleet for you to choose from.

Touring Shannon with a Car Hire

No trip to Shannon is complete with out a visit to historic Bunratty Castle. Located just 12 kilometres outside of Shannon, the site was originally a Viking trading post. The castle has been destroyed several times, but its present version was completed in 1425 by the MacNamera family.

The castle has a rich and dramatic history, changing owners countless times throughout the years, often between the warring English and Irish. Ornate tapestries and relics remain today, and a spectacular tour allows visitors a glimpse into the castle’s storied past; the brave may venture into the depths of its dungeon.
