How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shannon?
Shannon rules state drivers must be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Shannon?
While booking conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Shannon, the basics are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I drive in Shannon with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can, but if you like playing it safe, apply for an International Driving Permit to carry alongside your U.S. License. The permit features your name, driver's information and photo and is helpful as an additional identity document.

Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then book your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Shannon or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Shannon car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Shannon, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age.
