Knock car hire

You can take your pick of hire car types to use in Knock, as you won’t have to take traffic conditions into account at all. At the same time there aren’t any areas you can’t reach by car, due to narrow inner area streets, for instance. In winter, however, it might be a better idea to hire an MPV or even a 4x4, rather than a standard city car or saloon, because of the likelihood of snow.

The speed limits in Knock conform to those in the whole of County Mayo. Ireland uses the metric system, so the speed limits in the town are signposted inkm/h. You’ll need to drive at or under 50km/h (around 30mph) in the built-up and residential areas, and 80km/h (about 50mph) on the regional roads on the outskirts of the town. However, once again, in winter the speed at which you can drive will depend on the snowfall, so the actual speed that you can feasibly drive at can change, regardless of legal limits.

Parking is free all over Knock – in fact, residents successfully opposed the introduction of parking meters in 2018. It also won’t be difficult to find a parking spot close by to wherever you want to visit.
