Where can I find an Ireland hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can hire a vehicle if you are under 25 in Ireland often depends on the rental provider you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your selected hire car company to escape any nasty surprises at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Ireland with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then 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, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired car. Please read the details before you book!
