In addition to our advice in relation to driving in Ireland, we have some specific tips in relation to renting a car in Ireland 3 Car Hire/Rental companies in Ireland are generally based in airports and cities. 3 You will need a valid driving licence and a credit card to rent a vehicle in Ireland. 3 9-seater vehicles are the largest vehicles that you can rent in Ireland 3 Most rental companies will not rent to drivers under 25 but there is no upper age limit. However, if you are over 75, you will be asked to meet additional requirements. This information is generally included in the terms and conditions on the company’s website. 3 Try to book in advance to get better offers or deals and to ensure availability during high season.
3 In Ireland, the majority of rental cars are standard shift (manual transmission). Automatic cars are available, but you should book well in advance of travelling to avoid disappointment. 3 It is a legal requirement in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for all children to be seated in appropriate child car seats. If required, these seats should be reserved in advance from your car rental company. 3 Ensure that you carefully study the inclusions of your rental in terms of: v insurance cover, v mileage allowance, v fuel policy, v breakdown assistance, v return policy 3 Always carefully examine your rental vehicle at collection and note any damage that is on the vehicle.
