I am planning on driving from Sligo to Sliabh Liag and then north along the coast from Ardara to Letterkenny. I have 3 days and will need to drop the car somewhere. Does it make sense to drop it in Letterkenny, take the bus to Glenveagh Natl Park and then north to Giant's Causeway - Carrick a Rede - Dunluce? Thanks!

Thank you, Nightowl -- this is excellent information and extremely helpful! (And I have my ETA and some pounds left over from last year's trip.)

There's a small onetime "recovery fee" of 30 Euros if you plan to go into NI. If you actually plan to fly out from NI, then there's a large drop-off fee or maybe even a "you can't do that", depending o the agency. I'd keep the car unless you're flying out of Belfast.

Are you picking up the car in Sligo? Even if you're flying out of Belfast, I would return the car at Dublin Airport. You'll probably have to pay a one-way fee, but it sounds like you'd be doing that anyway.

Hi, I live in Letterkenny, You only have 3 days total? I would keep the car when in Letterkenny, drive to Glenveagh National Park, it's a simple drive, you can go and come back on your own terms.
