Car Hire in Shannon
Being an independent pricewatcher, EasyTerra Car Hire offers worldwide services in car hire at the best rates. Therefore, in a city like Shannon, car hire can be organised quite easily. Shannon owes its name to the longest river of Ireland. Shannon is mostly known for its airport, which was built in 1939. The city is not very large but it is located in the vicinity of Limerick, a city with many castles and museums. When you arrange a hire car (in Shannon you can pick it up at Shannon Airport), Shannon and Limerick can be explored to the fullest, as well as the surroundings. Ireland has a good infrastructure but public transport is infrequent. This makes it especially useful to hire a car in Shannon.
Travelling by hire car in in Shannon
Shannon is a combination of the words 'Sean (old, wise)' and 'abhainn (river)' and also a popular name for boys and girls. In the USA several towns with the name Shannon exist. The town was supposedly founded to facilitate activities around the airport. Besides cosy pubs and beautiful landscapes Shannon has a couple of interesting sights:
- Shannon Golf club, a popular golfclub in the region
- the Cliffs of Moher (nearby), these are impressive cliffs rising 214 metres above the Atlantic Ocean
- Dromore Wood, a forest covering 400 hectares in the town of Ennis
County Clare in the province of Munster has a lot to offer. Shannon provides the airport and county Clare provides the sights, although a hire car is useful in this area. With a car, cities like Limerick and Galway can be visited easily. Huge cliffs, lush scenery, keltic churchyards and stone churches characterize the region. The megalithic tombs in the rugged area 'The Burren' are well worth a visit. This moonscape-like area covers about 300 km2 and borders with Galway bay and the cliffs of Moher. Other areas of interest include:
- Galway, a backpackers-paradise with the impressive Aran islands
- Limerick, with the stately King John's Castle, dating back to the 13th century
