Car & Van Hire in Meath

Enterprise car hire locations in Meath

County Meath is part of the province of Leinster but historically formed a section of the Kingdom of Mide, hence its nickname as the Royal County. A rich heritage characterises the county, along with an archaeological complex that dates back 5,000 years. The county is a combination of different landscapes with its fertile lands providing wealthy agricultural resources while Tara Mines remains Europe’s largest underground mine for lead-zinc ore. Boyne Valley, Trim, Kells and Tara are the areas that attract curious visitors who want to experience the nature and history of the place. The thriving dormitory towns are contributing to the development of the county, consequently boosting its popularity. Hiring a car is a great way to get around the county, whether for holiday or business.

Our Vehicles For Hire In Meath

If you are going to drive down to Boyne Valley with a group of friends, your chosen car has to be spacious enough, such as a standard class one, but if you are travelling alone, a mini or compact class car will suffice. Enterprise rental categories include cars, SUVs, people carriers and commercial vans. SUVs are ideal for heading up into mountainous or hilly parts of the region, all the while offering a great level of comfort.

People carriers are excellent picks when your travel adventures involve six or more persons. A people carrier allows you to seat occupants comfortably, in addition to hauling a sizeable amount of luggage. For those planning school trips and group tours, choose a seven-passenger people carrier or nine-passenger mini bus. The models in our fleet have all been selected for their great performance, comfort, level of safety and fuel efficiency, so you need not worry about a bad experience.

Attractions In Meath

After settling on the right car rental, Meath has a wealth of attractions for you to visit. Newgrange's passage tomb is one of Ireland's most ancient sites, with neighbouring Knowth and Dowth featuring other historic burial sites. The 5000-year old Brú Na Bóinne at Newgrange earned a place on UNESCO’s World Heritage list and the design of the tomb is such that during the yearly Winter Solstice, the sun illuminates the passage when it rises.

Trim Castle is another must-see when in Meath as its magnificent structure epitomises the English rule, not to mention it is the largest Anglo-Norman Castle in Ireland. The burial sites at Loughcrew Cairns are also hard to pass up when driving around the county. You can easily make your way to the Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre and get a few history lessons.
