Hiring a driver?
 
Happy St. Patrick's day to all! We have a family group of 7 that will be staying in Dublin next week. We would also like to see some of the countryside such as Wicklow. There is no way any of us would attempt to drive in Dublin and we were wondering if anyone could recommend someone with...say a minivan that we could hire for a day. Top of the mornin' to you! Anita

Politely asking, to atida - - and to any other newcomers reading this - - could you please mention the LOCATION of a trip, desired service or question in your message header?

It's like shelving library books in a plain brown wrapper. Wouldn't you hate it if you had to take each one off the shelf and open it to see what it is about?

Best wishes,

Rex

It would probably be cheaper to hire a taxi/minivan with a set price for the day. Here are a few of the larger Taxi Companies.

Haggle with them for a good price!

National Radio Cabs

Metro Cabs- 20 Upr Baggot st, 4
(01) 6683333

City Cabs- City Hse , Newmarket, 8
(01) 8727272

Co-Op Taxis- 9 Hanover st, E, 2
(01) 6766666

Dublin 4 Taxi Cabs- Ltd 6 Bridge st, 4

Eurocabs -34 Nth Frederick st, 1
(01) 8445844

Metro Cabs- 20 Upr Baggot st, 4
(01) 6683333

If you are calling from the U.S. dial:
011 353 1 (Drop the 0) and the number.

You should be able to strike a deal with one of these places

Siobhan, that's just what I need. Thanks so much.

Rex, I understand. Point well taken.
