What hectic lives we lead these days - finding slots of time in an otherwise jammed schedule to do essential tasks like a hair cut or even lunch.

So does this mean when you do get time off you would prefer to fill your days with being idle?

Don’t get me wrong I too have had pool holidays including an all inclusive holiday where a step outside the hotel caused a panic attack (I have to pay for things?) but what is best for a break from hectic life?

Personally I feel that escape, the feeling of freedom and exploration is the best tonic for the prospect of retunring to a three digit inbox.

Take Dublin for example, from your hotel you could pretty much explore the city and even get up and down the coast to some extent but you are missing a large part of county Dublin. With car hire in Dublin you could explore at your ease and mulitple destinations within the same day. From Sally’s Gap in the Wicklow Mountains to the beautiful harbour at Howth you could really criss cross the country with a rental car.

So for me the best way to describe taking a car is to open up the possibilities for your stay. Allowing you the freedom and choice to explore the side of your destination hidden from the crowds.
