Rental in Ireland within easy reach? (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hire car

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rental' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'ireland within easy reach?' is the wordplay.
'ireland' becomes 'ir' (I've seen this in other clues).
'within' indicates putting letters inside.
'easy' indicates an anagram.
'reach' with letters rearranged gives 'hecar'.
'ir' put inside 'hecar' is 'HIRE CAR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hire car that I've seen before include "Rented vehicle" , "Vehicle for rent" , "Rental vehicle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
