Where can I go on a road trip from Galway?
Galway has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the wider region. Here are a few ideas:
  • Syracuse is approximately 110 miles from Galway. Notable attractions like Museum of Science and Technology deserve a place on your must-see list while you're in town.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Galway?
Rental vehicle rules in Galway require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental outlets impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the hire car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the classes of cars young motorists can hire as well. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Galway?
While terms and conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Galway, the two key things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.

Where can I find a Galway hire car if I am younger than 25?
Hiring a car if you are under 25 in Galway often depends on the hire provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not apply any additional costs for this age range. It'd be smart to read the terms and conditions of your chosen hire car company to escape any surprise charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Galway with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
