That's why many prepaid reservations offer a complete refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours prior to the collection time. You may want to read over your policy though because there are some exemptions. If you can't see any details there, click on our [Customer Service Portal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/service/?langid=2057). ### What types of cars can I rent in Southwest Ireland? > Minis are the smallest vehicle on offer, and they're usually the best on fuel too. This is why they're such a favourite with holiday makers in Southwest Ireland. Cruise around the city's best attractions — you'll be astounded at the car spaces you can slip into. Prefer something a little roomier? Have a look at our economy, full-size and standard options. ### How do I find the best car hire deals in Southwest Ireland with Expedia? > Check out customer reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car class and compare offers from leading providers. Expedia makes it easy to pick up the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Southwest Ireland car hire with hotel or flight bookings and drive off with even bigger savings. ### How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southwest Ireland? > In Southwest Ireland, the requirement is usually 21 and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the hire location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Remember to read the fine print before booking your wheels. ### What do you need to rent a car in Southwest Ireland? > You'll generally require a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental providers, so it's always wise to read the fine print. ### Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Southwest Ireland? > Yes, and you'll find your ideal wheels among our [long-term car rental deals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/b/car-hire/long-term). Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list amazing offers from a range of top providers. ### Where can I find a Southwest Ireland hire car if I am younger than 25? > Age policies are different between hire companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Southwest Ireland outlet that does hire to drivers under 25? That's great! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each hire car you're looking at will have all the information you need. ### Why should I rent a Southwest Ireland car with Expedia? > With loads of experience finding the best deals for explorers everywhere, Expedia is the ideal place to rent your car.
