Average Car Rental Prices in Dublin

When traveling to Dublin, renting a car can be a convenient way to explore the city and the picturesque Irish countryside. Average car rental prices in Dublin may vary based on several factors, such as the type of vehicle, rental duration, and the season. On average, you can expect to pay around €40 to €70 per day for a basic economy car. If you're looking for something a bit more spacious or luxurious, such as an SUV or a premium vehicle, prices can go upwards of €100 per day.

Prices can be higher during peak tourist seasons, such as summer and major holidays. It's always wise to book in advance to secure better rates. Additionally, rental companies often offer weekly rates that are more economical, so consider renting for a longer period if your travel plans allow. Be mindful of additional costs, such as insurance, taxes, and extras like GPS or child seats, which can significantly influence the final rental price. To get the best deal, compare prices online and check for special offers before booking.

Some rental companies in Dublin may allow you to rent a car with a debit card, but this is less common and typically comes with stricter conditions. Additionally, a larger deposit may be required, and full insurance may need to be taken out with the rental company. It's important to check with individual rental companies for their specific policies regarding debit card usage.

3. Are there any age restrictions for renting a car in Dublin?

Yes, the minimum age to rent a car in Dublin is usually 21 years old. However, this can vary depending on the rental company. Drivers under the age of 25 may also have to pay a young driver surcharge, and there may be restrictions on the types of cars that younger drivers can rent.

7. Can I return the car at a different location from where I picked it up?

Many car rental companies in Dublin offer the option to pick up and return the car at different locations, known as a one-way rental. This service might incur an additional fee, depending on the rental provider and the distance between the two locations.

Provide them with all the necessary details and complete any required accident documentation. You should also take photographs of the damage and obtain the contact details of any other parties involved.
