B&B Self Drive Program 2013

Terry Flynn ToursTerry Flynn Tours self drive program is designed for those who like to travel un-escorted, at their own pace, and who enjoy staying in local homes. There is no better way to meet Irish people. With this program you can plan your own itinerary or, if you would like help or suggestions, we are here to assist you with our years of experience.

It’s really quite simple. When you have reserved your air, call us to make arrangements for you in Ireland. Before you depart the US you will receive a pack of materials including your car and accommodation vouchers, map and directories. Once you arrive in Ireland, pick up your waiting car, and you're already on your way on a carefree self-drive vacation.

Book your air, then give us a call to make arrangements for you in Ireland.

Using the Bed & Breakfast Ireland 2013 directory, you have a choice of over 1,200 places to stay throughout the country. The B&B vouchers we provide include room and private bath (ensuite), along with a full Irish breakfast daily.

You can also mix and match. We can pre-book a hotel for you if you wish to vary accommodations, or pamper yourself and include a night or two in a castle. Irish castles range from moderate to deluxe and we can suggest and pre-book them for you.

Consider adding a Medieval Banquet to your vacation. These are located in the Shannon area (Bunratty Castle or Knappogue) and near Galway (Dunguaire Castle).
Any supplements or upgrades are subject to availability.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Terry Flynn ToursBed & Breakfast accommodation in Dublin is now extremely difficult to find. You may need to upgrade to a non voucher accepting accommodation or city centre hotel at an additional cost.

As we are an Irish based company all of our credit card charges in dollars are charged in Ireland. Most card companies may have a fee for international transactions and we recommend you check with them. 

Please note that there are periods in Dublin for 2013 where Hotels and B&Bs will be virtually impossible to achieve.

We will book your first nights accommodation (excludes Dublin) and issue vouchers to you for the duration of your stay. You can remain in any one location for as many nights as you wish (based on availability). We suggest that when you arrive at your first location, you decide where you would like to stay the following night and call ahead to reserve a room. This is important, especially in the major towns and cities over peak times, weekends and public holidays.
