Car Hire at Belfast City Airport — We Meet You When You Land
Belfast City Airport is one of the most conveniently located airports in Ireland and Northern Ireland — just three miles from Belfast city centre. But like most airports, the standard car hire experience still means queuing at a desk and waiting for a shuttle. We do things differently.
Value Car Rental meets you in the arrivals hall with your name on a board — just like a private transfer. Your car is ready, the handover is quick, and you’re on the road within minutes of landing. Whether you’re heading into Belfast or driving south into the Republic of Ireland, we get you moving straight away.
How Our Meet & Greet Service Works at Belfast City Airport
When you book with Value Car Rental at Belfast City Airport, your confirmation will include your representative’s details. Walk through arrivals and we’ll be waiting — no signage to follow, no desk to find, no shuttle to board.
We handle the full handover in the terminal, walk you through the vehicle, and get you on your way. It’s a personal, straightforward service that makes a real difference from the moment you arrive.
