Armagh Car Rental

Enterprise Car Rental Locations in Armagh

Although Armagh is the smallest county in Northern Ireland, it offers plenty of charm and character. The county is also full of surprises, from being the home of the first edition manuscript of Gulliver’s Travels and bog snorkelling to being the site of the 3,500-year-old Ballykeel dolmen and Saint Patrick’s first church. A rich apple-growing region, Armagh is also known as the Orchard County, and every May, the landscape blossoms with the pink flowers of thousands of apple trees. Armagh is also within easy reach of Northern Ireland’s top destinations, including Belfast and Giant’s Causeway. Our car rental service is offered from Portadown, one of the county’s largest towns.
