    I am planning to drive to the Netherlands. Start in Ireland through the uk and onto the netherlands. And the opposite way returning a few days later.
    I am considering renting a van.

    Will it be allowed for me to drive the van out of Ireland? Will insurance cover it?
    Has anyone done similar recently?

    You simply need to ring a few places and ask.
    I assume you want to go there to collect things and bring back here?

    Had this discussion, either here or on Reddit recently. It might be easier to get a vehicle in the UK, drive it back and go from there.

    I would have thought the toll gates alone would be a major pain in the arse being on the wrong side.

    If you don't mind a 30 hour ferry crossing you could bypass the UK and go direct.

    Might make insurance, tariffs and customs easier.
