What you need to know about campervan hire Northern Ireland
Campervan hire NI tips for the savvy traveller
There are two airports in Belfast: Belfast International Airport and George Best Belfast City Airport. When choosing a motorhome rental, be sure to know where you will be landing and have a look at the pick up options available from each provider. Some will provide a ‘Meet and Greet’ service and/or airport transfers for an additional fee. Organise this ahead of time and keep in contact with the local depot in case your travel plans change as a result of flight delays, etc.
Some planning tips for motorhome hire NI
- The streets in Belfast and the surrounding countryside can be very narrow. Get comfortable with your vehicle before hitting the road and make sure you have a reliable navigation system. Good old fashioned maps are handy for extra security and preparedness. Ask all the questions you have before leaving the Belfast depot—the staff are there to help you.
- Speed and distance are measured in miles, however, if you have plans to road trip down to the Republic of Ireland, note signage changes to kilometres.
- Remember that it’s illegal to wild camp, so when driving the Causeway Coastal Route from Belfast, you’ll have to stay in campervan parks. Luckily, these aren’t too expensive and come with the bonus of amenities like laundry, proper bathrooms, electricity hookups and WiFi.
- Jordanstown Loughshore Caravan Park is about five miles north of Belfast on the Causeway Coastal Route, with access to bus routes and train stations—an good place to park your Belfast motorhome rental when exploring the city for a few days. Other fantastic camping sites include Dundonald Touring Caravan Park, Tollymore Forest Park, Castle Ward or Myrtle at Larchfield Estate.
- A few recommended items for your travels in Northern Ireland include hiking shoes, wet weather gear—including an umbrella—and warm clothing for caves.
- Leave no trace. Take all your rubbish with you and don’t overload public bins.
Campervan hire Belfast: Where to go
From castles and caves to craggy coastlines, a trip here will renew your sense of adventure. Whether you stick to the Causeway Coastal Route, towards the Mourne Mountains, scenic Wild Atlantic Way or discover the entire Emerald Isle, you have plenty of options departing Belfast. Here are just a few highlights to hit on your way:
Cushendun
Cushendun is a small oceanside village, and your first chance to discover the wild natural beauty of Northern Ireland. Start with a stroll through the town itself to visit the charming Cornish cottages, then continue down to the coastline to see the towering Cushendun Caves.
Carrick-a-Rede
The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge was first built by salmon fishermen in 1755 and is now suspended 30 metres - 100 feet - above sea level between two cliff faces rising out of the sea. It was originally nothing more than gapped planks of wood and a single handrail, but today offers a lot more stability and safety.
Dark Hedges
Long a popular spot for artists and photographers, this gorgeous tree-lined road became even more popular due to its featuring in Game of Thrones as part of the King’s Road. In fact, it is now one of the most photographed natural attractions in Northern Ireland.
Giant’s Causeway
One of Ireland’s most phenomenal attractions, this 60-million-year-old UNESCO World Heritage site comprises roughly 40,000 basalt stone columns that you can explore by walking across their bizarre and beautiful tops like tall steps. The site is and has inspired countless tales and legends thanks to its mystical appearance.
Marble Arch Caves
Part of a UNESCO-listed Global Geopark—which also boasts waterfalls, forests, viewpoints, and wetlands—these limestone caves form an extensive underground system and bring something extra special to the itinerary. You’ll drift on a boat along on the Cuilcagh River—which is still creating the caves system underground today—to view the chambers and passages beneath the earth and then walk 1.5 kilometres for the final views of the tour.
