Car Rental at Leitrim
County Leitrim is the smallest in the province of Connacht in terms of both population and size. The north-west of the county is characterised by hills and mountains while the south-east is relatively flat, thus resulting in wildly contrasting landscapes. The different water sources in Leitrim give picturesque sceneries that will make your holiday memorable in many ways. You can try fish angling in the lakes, head to the mountains for hikes and camping, or tour the various towns for some history lessons. Whatever your passions, Leitrim is one place where you will find ways to indulge them or discover new ones. Even though Leitrim has the shortest coast of any county in Ireland, you will find more than enough to occupy your time. Make your trips around the region easy with a hired car. Enterprise Rent-a-Car has convenient locations in the county for all clients, whether you are a tourist on holiday or a local who needs wheels.
Our Vehicles for Hire in Leitrim
Depending upon the nature of your trip, there is a wide array of vehicles you can choose from to navigate your way around the area.

With car rental, the trail promises an enjoyable 385km drive and is best undertaken with one of Enterprise’s SUVs.
