SIXT car hire in Dublin
Dublin is a capital city packed with culture and surrounded by green rolling hills. We at SIXT would like to help you explore with the help of the vehicle most suited to your needs. We have a vast fleet of new, up to date vehicles of varying sizes and classes that answer any budget. If you are staying in town, an economy compact car might be the ideal choice, but if you want to venture out of Dublin with the family you could choose a premium MPV. Our well-situated pick-up and drop-off points mean you have options as to where to start and finish your trip. You could collect your car from Dublin Airport, for instance, and return it to Dublin St Stephen’s Green in the centre of the city.
Sixt Car Hire Dublin
Dublin car hire from SIXT includes long-term hire as well as weekly or weekend hire options. If you are staying for a longer period in Dublin, we offer long-term hire options so you can travel extensively within the city and travel further afield. The short-term options are made for those weekend breaks or short getaways. We have a range of vehicle categories including compact vehicles, MVPs and vans and the bookable extras include child seats, an additional driver and sat navs. With our extensive experience, our customer service team will be able to support your mobility needs.
What to do while in Dublin
Having picked up your Dublin car hire, take time to explore some of the city attractions such as St Patrick’s Cathedral and Christ Church before heading outside to take in the natural beauty around Dublin. We recommend a trip to the Wicklow Mountains National Park, just under an hour’s drive from Dublin, where you can go hill walking, taking in the striking scenery of lakes and hills.
Winter 2023/21 in Dublin
Dublin is a vibrant city no matter the weather and your car hire will help you take in the winter activities – especially some of the seasonal events such as Christmas markets and lights. It can be very rainy and cold but take the opportunity to go indoors and visit the Book of Kells at Trinity College Dublin or wrap up warmly for a stroll through Phoenix Park. Hop into your Dublin car hire and visit Newgrange, a prehistoric monument just under an hour north of Dublin.

Such a pleasure to deal with Sixt in Dublin. I hired a Sixt car in New Zealand and also had a great experience and Ireland did not disappoint either. The staff member who served me was so helpful and informative. The Kia Sportage we hired was immaculate inside and out. Highly recommend this company.

I rented from Sixt Car Hire-Shannon Airport in March. I was very happy with the customer service. Especially the young gentleman helping behind the counter. He went and got the car for me and parked it right outside the door. I will be renting from them again.
