I haven't seen any mention of this but the GPS system we rented along with the car rental was a Godsend. I don't know how we would have found our way around without it. However, we did quite a bit of traveling by car and did not just remain in County Donegal.

Found alot of the answers you are looking for in planning on a website www.dochara.com . If you are in the United States, the flights you will take to Dublin, Shannon or Belfast will depend on which airline you are using and which airport is your point of departure. Belfast is a more convenient drive to Donegal but not all airlines go to Belfast direct. At the time of year you are considering, it is off season and airline prices are a bit cheaper. Since cost seems to be a factor, be prepared for everything in Ireland to be MUCH more expensive than in the States - and I am not just talking about the rate of exchange for the dollar and Euro.

I agree completely. A GPS system is a Godsend.

If you have plenty of time I recommend going without the GPS. This gives you the opportunity to misread the map and get lost. It's amazing the wonderful things you find when you're not looking for them.
