Northern Ireland is a wonderful place to visit and Belfast truly epitomises this, with so many beautiful things to see and do. However, Northern Ireland has one large disadvantage; it is an island nation and, as such, it is practically impossible to bring your car over with you when you come. Whilst a few take the ferry over, the vast majority fly – the easiest option as it’s more convenient and easy to do. However, this gives you quite a few problems; whilst Belfast is a small enough place and it is possible to walk everywhere, I can guarantee that you’ll get fed up if you don’t have a car; it just makes everything so much easier. You no longer have to tire yourself out by just getting to the places to see and so can fully appreciate it when you get there.

Why on earth would you choose not to hire a car when it’s now the easiest thing in the world to do? You can book it online before you even set off and then only wait a short time before you’re driving to the hotel in comfort. The cost shouldn’t be an issue because, contrary to what people often think it is relatively cheap and can even rival the cost of using public transport. It’s an easy choice really; would you rather rely on British public transport or on your own ability to read a map? Hiring a car allows you to reach even the most secluded locations within Belfast – areas that are just inaccessible without a car, and you can only really appreciate the city if you can see as much as possible; for that you almost certainly need to hire a car.
