Car Hire George Best City Airport

Belfast's George Best City Airport is named after the city's most famous son and if travelling domestically the airport offers the ideal starting point to tour this Northern Irish city. Hiring a car is advisable as the city and surrounding area is heavily car dependent. If travelling from a greater distance Belfast International Airport is an advisable gateway to the city. Luckily budget has a rental desk in both airports making the process of hiring a car both simple and efficient.

The city itself boasts some wonderful Edwardian architecture; this can be attributed to the rapid growth the city felt during the late Victorian era and Edwardian period. Thanks to the linen and shipbuilding trade the city experienced wealth and prosperity resulting in some fine architectural examples, most notable of these is the outstanding City Hall with a 173 ft dome; its grounds are a popular meeting point during the summer months.

The Irish are famed for their love of partying and the city of Belfast is no different, it has a vivacious and energetic nightlife that could rival many European cities. Eating out in the city has vastly improved in recent years with the opening of some high quality restaurants; be sure to try the seafood and local dishes to sample the cuisine of this unique region. After a meal, the bars and clubs of the Cathedral Quarter of the city offer entertainment into the small hours of the morning ensuring a good time will be had by all.

Northern Ireland

Ringed by high hills, hiring a car in Belfast gives the ideal opportunity to explore all Northern Ireland has to offer. A great idea for a day out whilst in the city is to head along the coast to the Giant's Causeway, this magical rock formation has inspired visitors for many years and is a sight not to be missed. Approximately 20 minutes drive from the Causeway is the precarious Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge that crosses an 80 foot chasm to an isolated island. The bridge is not for the faint hearted but is popular with visitors of all ages as Scotland can be viewed from the island on a clear day.

Fortunately Northern Ireland is relatively small so when hiring a car much of the country is opened up. There are stunning mountainsides, tranquil forests with serene waterfalls as well as the chance to see bathing seals in the many 'loughs'. Just be sure to take advantage of the sat-nav hire service from your Budget car rental desk to get the best out of the wonderful countryside.
