Car hire at Belfast City Airport (BHD) offers a great opportunity to tour along the Co Down coastal and lake route, south-east of the airport, or to travel onward to Dublin or even travel north to the celebrated Co Antrim coast. Car hire is definitely the easiest option, allowing you to pop into the many small villages, hidden coves, and tourist amenities all along the Northern Ireland coastline. Using local transport would take much longer and only bring you to major destination points rather than the multiple stopover spots available in this dramatic part of Ireland.
Belfast City Airport (BHD) is also known as George Best Airport, named after the famous footballer from the city. It’s one of two airports in Belfast, the other being Belfast International Airport (BFS). Car hire at Belfast City Airport is centred around the car hire desks in the main airport terminal and the airport campus is connected by road to the city centre along the A2, a major regional route that links in seamlessly with motorways and other major roads.
Returning your car to Belfast City Airport is very straightforward. On approach to the airport you will start to see signs for the car rental parking garages. Follow these and park your car in the designated area, remove all your personal belongings and complete your paperwork at the car hire desk. It’s advised to refuel your car before bringing it back if you want to save on the cost of refuelling.
The majority of car hire companies operate between 09:00 to 23:00 seven days a week. Not all companies operate a drop-box system at the airport so enquire with your preferred company if you think you will be arriving out of those hours.

For some reason I was charged £1.09 more than the advertised cost. I don't know why and for that amount haven't bothered contacting anyone to ask! Strange one...

Acceptable. We didnt inspect the vehicle together and sign it off before leaving from pick up which was a bit of a worry. Car interior a little worn/tired but clean. No sixt branded car hire stickers/signage? I selected wrong airport for pick up. Additional charge was a bit high in my opinion but understandable

The gas tank is never full when you pick up the car (on 2 occasions). So you are either penalized if you leave it a little short on fuel (I was) or you make a fuel donation to sixt if it’s over fueled at all. This almost seems deliberate to me.

Sixt would not honor my Kayak reservation, they refused to rent a car to me. They said they couldn’t because I was over 75. But they knew my age when they made the reservation. It was a horrible experience. We planned a two week driving trip. They should have not made the reservation. And when I was at the counter, they should have found a way to get me a car. I’m very disappointed with Kayak and Sixt for doing that to me. I was able to find a Walk-Up rental from Enterprise which was hundreds of dollars more expensive than my Kayak reservation. I feel that Kayak and/or Sixt should compensate me for my loss.

Our experience with Sixt was the best. We always have low expectations when it comes to car rentals from previous experiences. Everything was professionally handled, took very little time, the car was great, and check-in and out were seamless. Thank you for a great experience!

I didn’t rent the car because they didn’t have any with automatic transmission. The agents on the phone were really good and very kind and friendly and helpful.

Car was clean and nice to drive. Even got a free upgrade. Although the extra insurance required despite already having travel insurance was not ideal.

When I went to pick up the car, I was sent to the wrong pick up location. The type of car I ordered wasn't available and so I had to complete a new booking at a more expensive price and change drop off location

Well I was shocked to turn up and find apparently I had booked a car with no insurance. You can imagine I was not happy when I needed to pay £63 on top of what I had already paid. I can't believe you can have people paying to hire a car and no where in the booking process does it state you are not insured. I'm very dissatisfied and still shocked.

Had vehicle booked for pickup at 10 am , arrived at 11am, and they had given vehicle away, advised they only hold for 30 mins of pickup time, and were very rude and not helpful, then they finally found another vehicle (basically same one) and wanted us to pay an additional 800 british pound sterling on top of rental agreement. So we went to enterprise and received a vehicle from them I would never recommend this Company
