The rental company

From Dardistown to the west coast, Ireland by campervan

Ireland has only one BlackSheep departure point: Dardistown, on the northern edge of Dublin, right by the airport. Getting off the plane and taking the wheel without crossing the capital means avoiding its traffic jams and narrow streets from the outset, just as you are getting used to driving on the left.

From there, the island is explored as a loop. Galway and Connemara are about two and a half hours’ drive away, Kerry and its peninsula a little further to the south-west, and the Giant’s Causeway, in Northern Ireland, almost three hours. On the Atlantic coast, the minor roads lined with stone walls leave little room: a campervan gets through more easily than a large motorhome. CoolDrive does not yet have recorded prices for BlackSheep in Ireland; the search shows the price for your dates.

Our view: a very well-placed location for anyone flying into Dublin, with the compact format that suits Irish roads. This single departure point means you have to return to Dublin; to start in Shannon, Cork or Belfast, Bunk Campers, Just GO and McRent are also present in the country.

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with BlackSheep

  1. Don’t let the M50 toll slip

    The Dublin ring road, often used when leaving the airport heading south or west, has a barrier-free toll section between junctions 6 and 7. A camera reads the number plate: the toll must be paid online by 8pm the day after you pass through, or penalties will be charged on by the rental company. Ask at handover whether an account is already linked to the campervan.

  2. Drive the Ring of Kerry in the same direction as the coaches

    Tour coaches drive the Kerry loop anticlockwise. By following them rather than meeting them head-on, you avoid tricky manoeuvres on the narrow stretches, especially between Kenmare and Waterville. Traffic is also lighter there in the morning.

  3. Allow for rain and seasonal campsites

    The weather changes several times a day, in every season: keep rain gear to hand and some slack in your schedule. Many campsites close from autumn to spring, and wild camping is not a right in Ireland; book your nights on the west coast in summer.

What travellers ask

Your questions about BlackSheep

Where do you collect a BlackSheep campervan in Ireland?

In Dardistown, a locality right next to Dublin Airport, north of the city (Eircode K67 C5F3). It is a short trip from the terminals; the exact address is in your confirmation, and our experts help you match the pick-up time to your flight.

Can a BlackSheep campervan hired in Dublin go to Northern Ireland?

The border is barely noticeable on the road, but Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom: you pay in pounds sterling and speed limits are shown in miles per hour. Before heading off to see the Giant’s Causeway or Belfast, check that the United Kingdom is among the countries permitted in the offer.

What does a BlackSheep campervan from Dublin cost?

No prices have yet been recorded in the country. The price varies widely between winter and the July–August high season: a search for your hire days gives you the amount, mandatory fees included, alongside the other rental companies based in Ireland.

Hello, very bad experience with the rental made with Causeway Campers Ltd: the rented camper was damaged from a previous accident with many parts taped up, including the rear bumper, which came loose during the jolts in the middle of the trip that I had to reattach after notifying them with makeshift means, causing stress on the road in the second part of the trip (photo available if needed); upon return, an effect that I am sure is a residual effect from the previous accident became apparent; upon return, I was charged £1000 for this damage on a previously damaged part; this is theft; no response to my requests; I do not recommend this rental company.

We needed information to book a van for a stay in Ireland. We received precise answers to our questions, and we interacted with a welcoming and very competent person. We hope that the rest of our reservation will be just as satisfactory.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — BlackSheep campervan hire in Ireland

Can you take the campervan on a ferry?

From Dublin or Rosslare, ferries sail to Wales and France. A crossing is only possible if the offer allows it and the insurance covers the destination country: ask our experts before booking a ticket.

When should you take a campervan on Irish roads?

Around the solstice, the sun sets at about 10pm on the west coast: a campervan then lets you enjoy the Cliffs of Moher or the beaches of Donegal in the evening, once the coaches have left. The summer school holidays bring crowds to the Wild Atlantic Way, while late spring and early autumn leave more room at stopovers. From November to March, Atlantic storms and long nights make life on board harder.
