Frequently asked questions

Can I book now and pay later for my car rental in Southeast Ireland?
If you've found your ideal ride but don't have the money to pay in advance, Expedia has your back. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you'll only pay in full when it's time to pick up your car in Southeast Ireland. The rental company will also place a hold on your credit card for the amount of the deposit. Cheaper rental offers may require you to pay in advance, but don't worry — this will be clearly shown in the booking details. Whether you're seeking something zippy and compact or a sleek and sporty ride, Expedia is the gateway to your next memorable adventure.
What happens if I need to cancel my Southeast Ireland car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of collecting the car, the majority of prepaid rentals offer a complete refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to familiarize yourself with your rental policy. Look over your itinerary for the finer details or go to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Southeast Ireland?
Busy city streets and tight parking spaces are no hassle for an economy car — the most commonly booked type of rental in Southeast Ireland. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and with terrific mileage, these small cars pack a punch. But Southeast Ireland can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are some other options to choose from.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southeast Ireland?
In Southeast Ireland, the rule is generally 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance. It's a good idea to check the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Southeast Ireland?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
Can I drive in Southeast Ireland with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can, but if you want to be sure, obtain 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 proof of identity.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southeast Ireland?
Expedia makes it a snap to find a reliable long-term rental in Southeast Ireland. Just click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and browse your options.
Where can I find a Southeast Ireland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in Southeast Ireland often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any extra costs for this age group. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your selected car company to avoid any nasty surprises when picking up your keys.
