Where can I find an Ireland hire car if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the hire companies that are found in Ireland. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
Can I drive in Ireland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. 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. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
