Belfast car rentals

If you're a single traveler who doesn't require much space, a small, compact car is ideal for driving and parking around Belfast. But, if you're planning on a road trip to other destinations around the country, a sedan or an SUV might be a better option — especially if you're traveling with the whole family.
