As in the United Kingdom, cars in Ireland drive on the left site of the road, which can take some getting used to. Speeds and distances in the Republic of Ireland are measured in kilometers per hour, while miles per hour is the term used in Northern Ireland. Seat belts are required for passengers in both the front and the back of a vehicle, and a valid national driving license or an international driving permit is required if you plan to drive. Car rental companies are located in most major cities and airports. That said, major cities like Dublin offer guided tours and excellent public transportation, often extending into the surrounding areas. Plus, a variety of bus and train services are available throughout Ireland. Most cities are also very bike-friendly, so driving is by no means essential. Eat Like a Local
