What types of cars can I rent in Dublin?
Dart around in a mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact vehicle — the top choice in Dublin. They're a joy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you're cruising around big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that's still nice.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dublin?
Dublin rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Dublin?
In most cases, all you'll need is a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between providers, so it's always a good idea to check before booking.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Dublin?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Dublin car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Dublin rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some will charge additional costs. It's better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
