FLIGHTS, CAR RENTALS & CELL PHONE PLANS
✈️ Looking for affordable flights? Before booking I recommend turning on the flight alert feature on Skyscanner, it will track the prices of your desired flight path and notify you when they are at their cheapest.
🚘 Want to get the best car rental prices? Much like flights car rental prices can go up and down like yoyo's so it is best to use platforms such as Discover Cars to find the best deals on the market. Who wouldn't sooner spend their money on a delish Guinness Pier instead!
📞 Want to stay connected when travelling Ireland? Then an eSim is the way to go. I recommend checking out Airalo, they offer affordable cell plans that work seamlessly across Ireland, this one is best for travel within the Republic of Ireland and these deals work in both the Republic and Northern Ireland.
HANDY APPS & SERVICES FOR IRELAND
🧳 Looking for somewhere to store you luggage? If you need somewhere to store your bags on your first or last day in Ireland then take a look at radical storage. They have safe luggage storage facilities all across the country including Dublin, Galway and Cork for as little as €5 a day.
🥾 Are you planning on hiking or exploring the outdoors while in Ireland? Well, then I highly recommend downloading All Trails. It has quite literally saved me from spending the night on a mountain after unexpected fog rolled in!
☔️ Packing for Ireland? Use this list of Ireland essentials on Amazon to pick up any last-minute ‘forgotten' bits. Believe me, there are some items on there you’ll regret not packing!
🏥 Travel insurance is an absolute must! Thankfully SafetyWing or VisitosCoverage have some pretty affordable plans to choose from.
