Car rental

There is a wide range of car rental companies in Ireland, from the most well-known international to some local companies. You can have a hired car waiting for you when you arrive through your travel agent or local office and this is generally recommended during the high season. 

General Rules of Car Rental in Ireland

You must produce a full valid driving license of your country of residence (which you must have held for at least two years without endorsements.) Owing to certain insurance restrictions usually only persons over the age of twenty three and under seventy are eligible to hire a car. The minimum hiring age varies with different companies and should be checked in advance.

Hire rate includes third party/liability insurance, unlimited mileage, value added tax and usually also passenger indemnity insurance. If the hirer does not take out additional insurance (Collision Damage Waiver), he is liable for replacement of the car. In the unfortunate event of an accident always notify the car hire company immediately.
