Car Hire in Wexford Center

Wexford, located in Ireland's sunniest corner, offers four suppliers in the city center and is the gateway to the country's southeastern coast. The town was founded by Vikings and has a charming medieval city center with narrow alleyways along Wexford Harbour. Rosslare Europort with ferries to Wales and France is just 22 km to the south.

Irish National Heritage Park in Ferrycarrig, 3 km north of the center via N11, offers a fascinating journey through 9,000 years of Irish history. Curracloe Beach, one of Ireland's longest sandy beaches (14 km) and filming location for Saving Private Ryan, is 12 km northeast of Wexford. Drive the Wexford Coastal Route north along R742 to discover remote beaches and bird reserves along Ireland's least-known coast.

Book your rental car in advance if you're arriving by ferry at Rosslare – many travelers pick up cars in Wexford and competition for vehicles can be fierce during summer. Visit Johnstown Castle & Gardens, 6 km southwest of the center, for one of Ireland's finest castle landscapes. How long does it take to drive from Wexford to Dublin?

Via N11 it is approximately 140 km to Dublin city center and takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes depending on traffic. Can I pick up a rental car in Wexford and return it at Rosslare ferry port? Most of the four suppliers offer this, but a one-way fee usually applies.

Check the terms when booking. What is the best way to explore Wexford's coast by rental car? Drive R742 north along the coast toward Courtown, or take R736 south toward Rosslare Strand to experience the beautiful beaches in County Wexford.

We compare prices from all major providers at Wexford Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
