Hello,
I could use some trip advice especially with hire cars for our family of 3's trip to England, Scotland and Ireland. We arrive in London 7/12 and plan to take the train to York for 2 nights then hire a car there. We road trip from there to Edinburgh for 2 night/3 days then to Loch Lomond for 3 nights, the Isle of Skye for a night and want to catch the car ferry to either Larne or Belfast via Cairnryan. We plan to spend the night somewhere in Northern Ireland then drive to Kilkenny where we'll be for a week. We travel back to London for 5 nights and fly home to the U.S. on 8/3. My issues are with car travel from Scotland to Ireland and then Ireland back to London. Trying to find out if it's possible to rent the car in York and return to Dublin and fly back to London. Or is it better to pick the car up at Heathrow and drive the entire route rather than take the train to York and pick up car there and return car to Heathrow? Ideally we would like to train from Heathrow to York, drive through Scotland, car ferry to Ireland and return the car in Dublin and fly back to London. I would appreciate ANY and ALL help. Thank you!!!
