How to get to Green Lodge
Transportation to West Cork ---To help you decide on which mode of transport to choose take a look here.
Airports---Cork is the nearest airport, but travelling from airports in Kerry, Shannon & Dublin are another option. Travel Information has probably got those useful travel phone numbers that you have been searching for. Both RyanAir and AerLingus offer cheap flights throughout the year.
Ports-----The major Ferry companies are. Pembroke to Rosslaire with Irish Ferries and Sealink. The most direct ferry link with Cork is the Swansea Cork Ferries but it is not running at the moment.. Other useful information can be found at the Emerald Tiger
Buses----The Bantry bus leaves Cork bus station from lane one at 09.15; 10.30; 12.30; 13.30; 16.30; 18.00 & 19.00hrs (mon to sat).The sunday sevice is limited to 10.30; 13.30;18.00 &19.30 hrs. AA Roadwatch Bus
Taxi & Cabs---There are several taxies available from Bantry, the expected cost is around €8/€10 for the 8km. journey to Green Lodge.
Car----- Journey times form; Cork approx hour & half. Rosslaire approx 5 hours. Dublin approx 6 hours. The AA Route planner can be handy to work out your route for you.
Car Hire----Usually you need to be over 26 and have a credit card to rent a car in Ireland. If you are looking to hire a car from afar, then find a rental car might well be useful. The only one I have ever used is Budget Car Rental and they have always been pretty conpetitive and reliable. I have heard good reports of Malone Car Rentals & Car Hire 3000 too.
