KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cavan

  • If you’re looking at car hire in Cavan, this is a wise option, as you’ll find that public transport options are very limited. Cavan is very small and is surrounded by countryside, so the local bus timetable can’t be relied upon should you want to tour around the area in good time. There are only a few buses a day, so it’s ideal to hire a car instead and drive around at your own leisure.
  • For car hire in Cavan, there are only two car hire locations that are local to the town, both of which are located on the Dublin Road N3 main road. An airport close to Cavan is Knock International Airport (NOC), which is around a 2 hour drive from Cavan. You can easily locate car hire desks in the Arrivals Hall of the terminal building, as they are on the ground floor and visible once you’ve come through security; you can find them on your left.
  • When driving around Cavan and the vast country roads around the town, it’s a good idea to know some of the local laws and tips for driving in the area. After sorting out your Cavan car hire, you’ll be pleased to know that you must drive on the left side of the road. If you head out to the rural areas, be careful of potholes in the road and livestock crossing roads. Ireland is also known for its inclement weather, so be extra careful with your speed in wet conditions. In Cavan itself, the streets are very tight with many only being one-way, so be mindful of this.
  • When driving around Cavan, try to avoid the early morning and early evening rush hour. Though a small town, the main thoroughfares can still get a little congested at these times and so it’s wise to avoid venturing out then. Roads that can get busy include the R212 and R198, which are the main roads heading in and out of Cavan, whilst Bridge Street can also have some tailbacks when waiting to join the main roads.
  • Book your rental car in Cavan at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
