Dan Dooley Ireland rental car drop off/pick up

Hello! I am flying into Dublin, but want to rent a car for 3-4 days, and use the next 4 days doing bus tours. We were thinking of picking up at the airport, and want to drive south. I would like to return the car somewhere other than Dublin, so we don't have to backtrack...would it make sense to return it to Shannon, and then move on to Galway by train/bus? There are other places but I just dont know how easy it would be to drop off somewhere else. We've never rented a car before, nor have we been to Ireland. I'm sorry if this sounds stupid or doesnt make sense. Any advice would be great! Thanks :)

Sure, you can rent the car in Dublin and return it elsewhere. I have rented at Shannon and returned in Dublin with no problem. You just indicate where you want to pick up and drop off when you book the rental.
