Flights to Ireland will be available 11 months in advance; in May 2026. You can fly into Dublin or Shannon. Both are about 3 1/2 hours from Carrick/Teelin in County Donegal. However, it is easier to take public transportation if you fly into Dublin. Check "Accommodations and Transport" for more details
If you rent a car, be aware that they are smaller than in the US. Minivans are almost unheard of, and because the roads are narrow, you wouldn't want a big car anyway.
Accommodations
All options listed in the travel section are the shared B&B and Hotels. Make sure to note the distance from Carrick Village when booking anywhere, especially if you don't rent a car. There are no Ubers; only a couple of local taxis which can be hard to get at times. We suggest searching Airbnb as it will have a lot more options and is the most popular way to book accommodations in the area.
Transportation
If you are flying into Dublin, there are multiple car rentals available (keep in mind most are manual and on the other side of the road) You can prebook your car on the website below

There is also a bus service thar runs multiple times a day from Dublin airport (terminal 2) to Glencolumbcille, Just remember to tell the driver that you are getting off in Carrick!! We would suggest pre-booking tickets using this link and entering the above departure and destination names.
