I had forgotten about the children in the front seat. Glad you found a solution. Ireland has come a long way in the last decade or so, but you will still find some things not as convenient as you're used to...After being away for 8 years, I realised there are a lot of things in the US we take for granted, convenience-wise...Good luck in your journey!

: Hi
:
: Just an update in case someone else needs to
: know.
:
: Dooleys require a minimum 3 day rental if
: you pick up the van in Dublin and drop off
: in Galway.
:
: Also, it seems it is against the law to have
: a child of 7 in the front seat of a motor
: vehicle so the van idea is out.
:
: We have decided to go the route of hiring 2
: cars through Budget (an entry level car and
: a station wagon) and drive them from Dublin
: and drop them off the next day in Galway.
:
: This works out cheaper than hiring the van
: for 3 days through Dooleys and should still
: give us enough room for our requirements.
:
: Thanks again for the help.

: Thank you Kelley. I have looked at the site
: and this looks like it will work for me. I
: am just concerned about the regulations
: around a child of 7 travelling with me in
: the van. I have dropped them an email to
: enquire. This is great, thank you.

: Try Dan Dooley (dan-dooley.ie). Seems you
: can
: pick up at Dublin Airport and drop off at
: Galway Airport. Check it out.

: Hi
:
: I am arriving in Dublin with 3 large
: suitcases and 7 boxes which I need to get to
: Galway. There is also a wife and child in
: the mix :-)
:
: I can't seem to hire a car big enough so I
: thought I would hire a van.
:
: Unfortunately all the companies I have found
: in Dublin want me to return the van to
: Dublin when I am finished. Anyone know of a
: company that will let me collect the van in
: Dublin and drop it off in Galway when I am
: finished? Like UHaul in the USA.
