Press Release Summary = While the countdown to the 2006 Ryder Cup match in Ireland
has begun golf visitors are warned to

book their car hire now - http://www.udriveireland.com

Press Release Body = Car rentals are on the upswing in Ireland - thanks to the
forthcoming Ryder Cup in September.


The renowned Ryder Cup will take place at The K Club in the glorious surrounds of
County Kildare.

There are two 18 hole championship golf courses located on the grounds, the Palmer
Course, and the

Smurfit Course. The courses are designed by Arnold Palmer and feature their own
characteristics and

unique set of challenges.


This then is a wonderful excuse for the golf enthusiast to pack the bags, grab the
clubs and head for

Ireland, where they boast the best golf courses in the world.


However, Tony Russell, managing director of U Drive Ireland, one of Ireland\'s
leading car rental

companies warns travellers that demand for car rentals is going to be great and
advises would be

travellers to book their car rental early.


\"Believe me - there will be nothing like this in the world!\" he points out from his
office at U Drive

Ireland\'s headquarters in Limerick.


\"Although Ireland has always been regarded as an outstanding golf holiday
destination it has never

before experienced the current level of visitor golf traffic. And that means the
demand for car rentals is

going to be high\"


That is why he is urging golfing visitors to secure their car rental now and avoid
the rush.


Making a booking with U Drive Ireland is easy and secure on the company\'s website -

http://www.udriveireland.com - by completing a simple quote form which allows you
to book the car

there and then or have the quotation automatically emailed to you.


\"While the countdown to the 2006 Ryder Cup match in Ireland has begun and whether
you come to

play or spectate you will enjoy the experience all the more by dealing with a car
hire company

dedicated to providing superior quality and customer service\", emphasises Mr. Russell.


With more than 40,000 spectators expected to descend on the small town of Straffan
in Kildare each

day, access to the event may prove a logistical nightmare.


Cars will be banned from an 8km cordon around the venue. The access problem is so
great that

Weston Aerodrome was recently granted planning permission for a car park to
accommodate 30,000

vehicles for the event.
