KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sligo

  • If you want the ability to explore Sligo Abbey at your convenience and the flexibility of travelling the open road west to visit Wild Nephin National Park, a car hire in Sligo offers you the means of experiencing both on your travels through this north-western Irish town. For those who prefer longer trips on the road, the drive to Donegal is about 65 km north, and it's approximately 130 km to Glenveagh National Park.
  • There isn’t a car hire centre at Sligo Airport (SXL), so making a reservation in advance is the best way to obtain a vehicle. Providers like Hertz, Avis and Europcar operate from off-site locations but will deliver Sligo car hires to the airport car park; you can pick up the keys from a desk in the arrivals hall. If you’re travelling without a reservation, pay a visit to one of the car hire locations in downtown Sligo, which is about 10 km from the airport complex.
  • Driving in Sligo is performed on the left-hand side of the road. The minimum age to hire a car in Sligo is 21, but many hired car agencies levy young driver surcharges to those under the age of 25. Additionally, the maximum legal age is 75; though, some companies impose a ceiling at 70 years of age. Seatbelts must be worn by all occupants while the car in is motion. Using a mobile, even with a hands-free device, is not recommended in Sligo or anywhere else in Ireland. Be aware that speed cameras are in active circulation near major junctions and in the busy town centre, so obey posted signs at all times.
  • Sligo isn’t a large town, but that doesn’t mean it is immune to traffic jams and occasional congestion. As with most places, road arteries leading in and out of the town centre are busiest during the morning (roughly 07:00-08:00) and evening (about 19:00-20:00) rush hour periods. This is particularly true along the N4/N15 National Road, which dissects the town north to south, as well as along the N16 artery, which travels in a north-easterly direction to/from Northern Ireland.
  • Compact rental cars in Sligo are around 24% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Sligo?

    For most drivers, an economy vehicle is a recommended car hire in Sligo to navigate the town’s narrow streets. Compact cars also offer the advantages of being cheaper, easier to park and better in terms of fuel economy when driving within town limits. Parties of four or more should consider an intermediate or full-sized sedan that provides more comfort and storage capacity, while others may elect an SUV or luxury vehicle for travelling in premium style.

  • What’s the speed limit in Sligo?

    In residential areas, near schools, hospitals and business districts, reduced speeds may be enforced; otherwise, the speed limit to drive a car hire in Sligo is about 50 km/h (31 mph). In rural areas or along single carriageway roads, you can increase speed up to 100 km/h (62 mph), and along major motorways or dual carriageways like the N15, the legal speed limit is approximately 120 km/h (75 mph). It is common for some sections of the national roads in Sligo to observe lower limits, so observe posted speed signs at all times.

  • Where are the best places to park in Sligo?

    Street parking is available in Sligo if you can find a spot and pay the hourly tariff. With on-street metered parking and car parks, you can either Pay & Display your receipt on the inside dash or use the Parking Tag app on your mobile device. Parking charges in Sligo occur Monday-Saturday roughly between the hours of 08:30 and 18:30 and from about 12:00 to 18:00 on public holidays. Parking is free all day Sunday within town limits. At Short Stay car parks, the maximum tariff is about 0,40 € per 20min or approximately 1,20 € per hour. Alternatively, parking at Long Stay garages costs about 3,00 € per day.
