Europe’s leading low cost car hire provider, www.ArgusCarHire.Com is warning visitors planning to attend the Ryder Cup, being held in Ireland from 22^nd – 24^th September in the K Club, Co Kildare to book car hire in advance rather than relying on Dublin taxis for transportation as Dublin taxi drivers go on strike again for the third time since July.

Taxi drivers are waging war on Dublin Airport Authority in response to proposals to charge taxi drivers an annual €500 fee for using the airport.  Industry pundits are saying that Dublin taxi drivers intend to use the Ryder Cup to vent their spleen and pressure Dublin Airport Authority to rescind on this proposal.  The Ryder Cup is expected to make an estimated €142.5 million contribution to the Irish economy.

Over one hundred and sixty thousand visitors are expected to attend this three day golfing event later this month.  Speaking about this dispute Greg Turley, CEO and Founder of www.ArgusCarHire.com said “Given that the majority of this large scale influx of visitors will arrive through Dublin airport, hoping to take a taxi to the K Club where the Ryder Club is being held, we are strongly recommending that these visitors book car hire in advance to avoid the planned disruption by Dublin taxi drivers.”
