Question

The cheapest way to travel from birmingham to cork city (preferably by car)?

Answer 1

You can fly from Birmingham to Cork for just £1 each way with Aerlingus.  Alternatively, if you still want to travel by car, you can find peopleto share the cost of the ferry/fuel on http://www.rideforcents.org .

Answer 2

The answer is Holyhead-Dublin by far. The cheaper sea route is Fishguard/Pembroke-Rosslaire by about £10; however it is a far longer drive from Birmingham. Additionally, you can fill up with cheaper Irish fuel sooner when you reach Dublin!

Irish Ferries (Holyhead-Dublin port)

£178  GBP return; car and one adult

Stena line (Holyhead-Dublin)

£197.59 return; car and one adult [checked this on:

Dublin-Cork = 260k/152 miles

Birmingham-Fishguard = 358k/222 miles

Birmingham-Pembroke = 339k/211 miles

Rosslaire-Cork = 197k/122 miles

Answer 4

If you want to bring you own car I suggest you check for the nearest ferry port in the UK that's connected to Rosslare or Cork. www.stenaline.ie and www.irishferries.ie are the main companies.

From Rosslare is then about 2 1/2 hours drive to Cork City.
