Minis are the smallest car available for rent, and usually, they're the most economical too. This is one of the reasons they're such a favorite with visitors to Ireland. Zoom around the fascinating sights of Dublin and Cork --- you won't believe the parking spots you can squeeze into. Despite their small size, minis offer a comfortable ride (just so long as you don't have too many cases!).It's always a great idea to take time out from the city, and if you do, get set to be richly rewarded. With rocky coastlines, shingle seashores, and sandy shores to see, Ireland is ripe for exciting day trips. A bigger vehicle like a four-wheel drive or an SUV will give you and the gang more space for those longer rides.
