Rental car from the Irish republic into UK?

I know that the rental agreements say that if you cross over into the North, that there is a surcharge, but is there any rental company that would let you take the car via ferry into the UK proper? Or would it simply be easier to take a rail/sail and pickup a rental in Scotland or Wales? Planning a trip for this September, and would like to drive around in both Ireland and GB, so looking for the best cost effective solution.

You might be able to but the cost might be prohibitive - looks like at least E80 additional one way for a car.
