Have you considered hiring one from when you arrive in Ireland? The ferry fees are quite high so you would save that, plus a couple of days hire when all you are doing is driving and sitting on the ferry.

Depends on where you live and not all hirer's let there vans out of the country and take out a damage waiver insurance to cover extortionate excess in case of an accident. If you are going WAW roads are rough and narrow

Best to get damage waiver from a specialist as most hirers don't do them just google it they are easy to find.Best app is park for night but look for a habour or marina . Best ferry price is to join Caravan and motorhome club (CAMC) and book through them motorhome goes as a car and membership recouped. If you want more info on WAW just ask
