What happens if I need to cancel my Limerick car reservation?
We get that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why many reservations provide a full refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours in advance of pickup. It's still good to go through the rental agreement though because there are some exceptions. If you can't see any details there, head to our Customer Service Portal.

Generally, you need to be 21 years and over in Limerick. You should be aware that most outlets will apply a young renter surcharge.

What do you need to rent a car in Limerick?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Limerick?
Cars drive on the left in Limerick. This means that the driver's seat and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. Set aside a bit of extra time to familiarise yourself with your new ride before you hit the open road.

Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we'll show you fantastic options from a range of reputable providers.
Where can I find a Limerick car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Limerick often depends on the rental provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age range. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape any nasty surprises on pickup.
