We are thinking about landing in Dublin, taking the train to Galway and renting a car there, to avoid Dublin with a car.
Is it easy/reliable to train from Dublin to Galway after airport arrival in Dublin?
Is it easy to rent a car in Galway? Any company recommendations? Is it more expensive to rent in Galway than other options?
Thankyou!

Yes, perfect plan. Arrange your Galway car rental before you leave. The train station is an easy walk to the car rental office, at least the one we used (can't remember which company that was though).

As I wrote in response to your previous post this morning, you can take an Express bus directly from DUB airport to Galway which is how most people transfer to Galway on their arrival, Trains don’t leave from the airport— you would have to first go into central Dublin to Heuston train station which is going to take about 45 minutes longer and also cost more.
If visiting Dublin at the end of your trip, you might take the train from Galway for the return trip to Dublin.
You also will see car rental ideas for Galway in your previous thread from today.
Cheers!
