Some of the best places to hire a car in Dublin
Dublin rental cars are available across the city but it's convenient to book your car hire from Dublin airport so that as soon as you arrive you can get going on your adventures around the city. However, it may be cheaper to arrange your rental at another location like in Dublin city centre or close to other transport links like bus terminals or the ferry. Either way, consider the total cost including any additional transport fees you'll need to pay to get to your car hire company to find the best deal.

Advice on car hire in Dublin
When you hire a car in Dublin, you'll need to provide a valid driving licence. UK licence holders will need to visit the DVLA's "Share Driving Licence" website before travelling to print out a check code to present to their Irish car hire company. Those visiting from non-EU countries are required to have an international driving permit if their licence isn't in English, to organize car hire in Dublin. Irish residents will still need to provide photo ID in the form of a passport or driver's licence.
One-way and long-term car hire in Dublin
If your one-way car hire in Dublin is just one stop on a road trip around Ireland, it might not be convenient for you to bring the vehicle back to the city at the end of your holiday. That's when one-way car hire options, where pick up and drop off are in different locations, can make sense. Perhaps you'll pick up your car at Dublin airport, see the city sights, and then head on to adventures in Cork, Limerick, Galway, and beyond. You can then drop the car off at a pre-approved location before heading home or extending your travels. When you are using the Expedia search engine to find a great deal simply select "add a different drop-off location" and you'll be prompted to add an alternative endpoint where you can search by city, airport, or address. Long-term car hire in Dublin is also available and perfect for those staying for more than a month or travelling through several different countries on a big trip.
