Car & Van Hire - Naas

Whether you are arriving in County Kildare for business, a race meeting or a break in the Irish countryside, having your own wheels makes a real difference. Enterprise offers car hire and van hire in Naas to get you moving from the start.

Naas is the county town of Kildare, sitting around 35 kilometres south-west of Dublin on the M7 corridor. The Grand Canal runs close to the town, and the surrounding landscape is open and flat, typical of the Kildare lowlands. The area has long been associated with horse breeding and racing, which still shapes the character of the region today. Beyond the town itself, Kildare opens out into a wider county with plenty of room to move.

A hire car gives you genuine flexibility here. Naas sits at a useful junction for road travel, with Dublin straightforwardly accessible to the north-east and the wider Leinster region to the south and west. Whether you are heading to Kilkenny, Wicklow or Carlow, or simply want to spend time in the Kildare countryside at your own speed, a car makes the most of the road network around you. An SUV or automatic car may suit those covering more ground or travelling longer distances over a few days.

Van hire in Naas is well suited to the area's practical needs. Whether you are helping with a house move, transporting equipment to an event, or travelling as a larger group, a small van or large van gives you the space you need. Naas is a growing town, and demand for vehicle rental Naas for moving and trade purposes is consistent. A 7-seater people carrier or 9-seater people carrier works well for groups visiting the racing calendar or attending events across the county.
