My friend and I are traveling to Ireland in August. We need HELP finding a private driver for 3 days. (Aug 21-23). We do not feel comfortable driving from the opposite side of the car. We do not need a tour guide just transportation. We are hoping a taxi is not our only option. Any recommendations for a private driver for this trip and approximate cost?
I have an itinerary planned:
21/08/25. Belfast 12pm to Glenariff Forest (hike waterfalls & lunch). Dark Hedges .Hotel; Greys at Bushmill
22/08/25. 8am Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Carrick-a- Rede rope bridge, Donegal
Castle, Leonardo Hotel Galway
23/08/25. 10am Doolin, Cliffs of Moher, Limerick hotel
Any suggestions on finding a list of drivers for hire we would greatly appreciate advice. Thanks for your consideration. Mimitravels

If you have not already inquired with your hotel about a local driver, I would suggest doing that as Step One.
While the person we hired for multi-day driving in Ireland well over a decade ago appears to have retired, we found him by asking (ahead of the trip) a B&B owner where we had booked a room. He was absolutely fabulous.
Re: current pricing, I cannot advise, since our experience was so long ago.
You will LOVE Ireland, and you are smart to hire a driver(s). Our driver was technically a taxi driver, but since he owned his vehicle, he could decide (and price) multi-day journeys.
