If you're a single traveler who doesn't require much space, a small, compact car is ideal for driving and parking around Belfast. But, if you're planning on a road trip to other destinations around the country, a sedan or an SUV might be a better option — especially if you're traveling with the whole family.
The speed limit within city limits is typically 30 miles per hour, but it has been lowered to 20 miles per hour on more than 70 streets throughout Belfast, so pay extra attention to the signs when driving through the city.

Those who wish can leave their vehicles for free at one of the Park and Ride facilities around the city, with the closest one to the city center, Northside Park and Ride, just off the A12.

Pros:
Car, cleanliness, ease of process. Overall car hire as it should be - no excess hard sell, just here’s your car and off you go. Return even simpler.Cons:
Delay in picking up due to 1 person only dealing with all Budget and Avis rentals. Not his fault - he was very efficient and friendly but policy decision to employ only 1 person to cover all pickups for 2 companies.8.0 Very good

Pros:
Hertz rental in UK (I’m from USA) was reasonably convenient- I accidentally booked from wrong Airport. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to pick up at the other airport- though they tried! They helpfully delayed pickup. I should have investigated insurance more thoroughly so that added unexpected costs. Still a good cake given unlimited mileage!Cons:
Car was very basic model and smelt vaguely musty. Again insurance charges were unexpected expense. (2x estimated).2.0 Poor
