KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dublin

  • Clontarf, Malahide, Howth, Bray, and Drogheda are some of the villages neighboring Dublin city. They are located within 35 miles of Dublin. If you plan to visit these villages, avoid renting the big cars as the roads in these areas are quite narrow and winding. Also, some streets in Dublin city, such as Capel street, manor street, and Drury street, are narrow, and navigating with big machines can be distressing. Therefore, look for small cheap car rentals in Dublin cars as they will not give you challenges when parking in such tight spaces. You can consider using mini cars as they are the most popular type to rent at Dublin Airport.
  • In most states, for instance, the United States and Canada, pedestrians must keenly check the roads to ensure the streets are clear. They have no right of way when crossing the street unless they are at assigned intersections or stop lights. However, this is different in Ireland, which also applies to Dublin. Here, pedestrians have no designated crosswalk and expect vehicles to stop for them. Therefore, paying extra attention while driving along with areas with heavy foot traffic is crucial. Also, slow down at shuttle drop-off or slow buses as passengers are likely to be dropped off.
  • If you find yourself on the road during rush hours, there is a better way to beat the traffic. Dublin has toll roads that are usually free of traffic congestion. Although they are a little bit more expensive, these roads are of exceptional quality and will minimize travel time considerably compared to older country roads. Toll road charges are paid at toll booths before connecting to these roads. However, you will not pay for the M50 at the toll booths as it utilizes the eFlow Barrier system. You cannot avoid passing through this system, especially traveling to or from Dunlin airport.
  • The best way to fully experience the joys of Dublin is by car. You will find renting a car is a much simpler way to get around Ireland’s capital city than relying on its hectic public transport system. Plus you benefit from having freedom to discover the best sights at your leisure. Naturally, you’ll want to visit the iconic Guinness Storehouse, which has free parking on nearby Crane Street. Or further afield, less than an hour’s drive outside the city, you’ll find the wonderful gardens of Powerscourt House in County Wicklow.
  • Less than 20 miles from the city center, Dublin Airport offers excellent opportunities for car rental. When you arrive at the Airport, finding the car rental desks could not be easier. If you’re arriving from a regional flight, you’ll find the rental desks in the Arrivals Hall at Terminal 1, or, if you’re on an international flight, you’ll arrive into Terminal 2 and go to the multi-story parking lot to book your rental car.
  • Firstly, you must remember that everyone drives on the left in Ireland and, as Dublin is a small city, you can expect to navigate much smaller roads. To get the best out of your driving experience in and around Dublin, stick to the main routes and avoid shortcuts, as you may get lost. The city is a rabbit warren of one-way and dead-end streets that can outfox even the most experienced drivers.
  • To save you from traffic jams and gridlock, always avoid the Dublin rush hour between 7:30 am and 9 am, and in the evenings around 6:30 pm. It’s also best not to drive near the Liffey River at these busy times. In the darker, winter months, be wary of fog and mist, which can affect driving conditions, as can the frost on higher routes.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Dublin for $19 or less
  • Book your rental car in Dublin at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Dublin are around 27% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Economy rental cars in Dublin are around 50% cheaper than other car types, on average

Stick with National / Alamo - I have never had an issue with them.
IanSep 2024
Easirent are as good as any of the larger companies.
DonaldAug 2024
We had chose a small car and it proved to be the best option to drive around Ireland. Stick shift was difficult with left hand for a start but improved rapidly after a while.
Verified travelerJul 2024
A smaller diesel car is a good choice for Ireland in general. Fuel is cheap, and the smaller cars work best in the south where the roads are narrow.
Verified travelerJun 2024
If you drive on a toll road, some (eflow.ie) require you to pay the toll online by the next day, and you also have to know your VIN number. When it comes to navigating, Google Maps sends you on narrow roads (designated as L routes) so it's best to travel with a map and plan your route ahead of time then use Google Maps Waze knowing your route so you can avoid the really narrow roads.
UgoJul 2024
If you rent a car with insurance through your credit card, be sure to know the laws in Ireland for it. You will need a coverage letter and some free space on a credit card for the large deposit required.
Verified travelerJul 2024
Pay close attention when pumping fuel in Ireland. The fuel pump color coding is different then the USA. (green is gas and black is diesel.
Verified travelerAug 2024
Leave enough time to drop car off. Cars are at a car park nearby. You need take a shuttle back to airport
TaaviAug 2024
Waiting in the line was a bit long… make sure that you have that extra half an hour…
Verified travelerMar 2024
The roads in Ireland were surprisingly much wider and in better condition than those in England, generally speaking.
MimiMar 2024
When you’re picking up the car, ask how to deal with the toll. What we did was just pay each time using a credit card, which is the easiest thing to do. But make sure that the car doesn’t already have a tag. If it does, then you can just drive through and pay them back later.

Get the smallest vehicle your group can fit in. Roads and parking spots are often tight
Verified travelerNov 2023
When in doubt stay to the left. The car was very worth it, and I recommend driving around the parking lot and getting a feel for the car. There is no shame in the "left" bracelet! It saved me multiple times. Street parking was a nightmare but thankfully we didn’t stay in the city, we drove around the country
lynneOct 2023
Absolutely buy the full insurance available! The roads are narrow, the speed limits are high for the roads, and there are wide buses coming at you on the roads. Because parking is expense in the cities, plan ahead where you can park.
BrunaOct 2023
The traffic is terrible in the town, but it's worth renting a car when you want to travel to another county.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Be prepared to drive a standard transmission on the wrong side of the road! Takes guts!
Verified travelerSep 2023
Driving in Dublin is alright. Roads around Ireland are beautiful! 😊
Verified travelerSep 2023
We got the car for a road trip. We didn’t need a car inside Dublin. You should inspect the car and tires and don’t let them give you a car that’s not in order. Don’t assume they will have done a proper inspection on it.

Make sure you understand driving on the left side of the road, and study up on roundabouts in Ireland!

I’m sure your car is an automatic on your reservation, unless you drive stick.

Always keep left when driving. Look right when entering roundabouts.

Research full insurance and final price!
DonSep 2023
Comparison shopping is a must.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Video and check your rental thoroughly . Most vehicles are manual transmission so if you need an automatic request one. Have some form of GPS either your phone or built in the car. Roads in Ireland outside of cities are pretty narrow with limited passing areas and the occasional farm vehicle. People tend to drive slower than posted limit. Be patient. And Keep left : ie steering wheel to road centre line not curb side 😁 Be safe
SteveJul 2023
I think I'd suggest going straight to the rental companies and making sure all your coverages and requirements are booked in advance. It is very confusing and stress inducing when your unsure and making changes to the reservation at the airport / airport lot.
ronAug 2023
Rent directly through the car rental company. And qeeq and try to get a rental company on site vs having to deal with shuttle buses especially after getting off an overnight flight.
TraceyJun 2023
I did not drive in Dublin, other than the area around the airport. Country driving and driving in Galway, Cork, Kilkenny, and Waterford was very manageable.
Verified travelerJun 2023
The motorways were great - vast improvement over years ago. Just have to pay attention & use gps / navsat if you don’t know the area.
BillJun 2023
Definitely take the insurance. Our car was dinged in a car park during one of our family excursions. Worth every euro….

Was a smooth rental process, pick up went well and drop off went even faster!!

Great option picking up car at off-airport location.

Full concentration required when driving in any city. Recommend automatic instead of manual transmission if your not used to stick shift, especially if your driving on opposite side of road from your origin country.
Verified travelerAug 2023
We spent most of our time outside Dublin, and when we did spend the day in the city, we parked at Carrigmines and took the Luas (train) into the city.

I can’t believe that I’m supporting this, but travel insurance, or book with a company that will refund your money if you can’t make your trip.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Check your car before driving away. Make sure there are no scratches or anything that haven’t been registered. Make videos and photos as proof.
CronanJul 2023
Take your time and plan your trip each day. The traffic can be very busy at times so try to work around that.

Better to use public transit and ride share if staying in Dublin. Rent a car if you are touring the country.

It was challenging at first being a North American, but I got used to it quickly. Not a big deal.

Be flexible, renting in Ireland can be a nightmare especially with insurance. Choosing a good rental company is very important.

Contact your credit card company ahead of time if you plan to leverage the coverage they provide.

Get an automatic, plan on paying for insurance, and note that extra drivers cost more.

Get a car that is big enough and if from overseas get an automatic.

Just go slow and take your time navigating and it isn’t too bad.

Definitely map your exact route back to drop off. Even though we set it up on Google maps I missed the exits 3 times. Give yourself a lot of extra time in Dublin. There is a lot of traffic. Most of my experience driving was outside of the city and it was smooth sailing. No real problems with driving in Ireland it was a nice experience.

If you are used to driving left steering wheel cars it is a good advice to ask for automatic transmission . The drivers in Dublin are very polite and the traffic is moderate . It is a pleasure to drive in such places .

It is fine. Narrow parking

FAQs about renting a car in Dublin

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Dublin?

    As the majority of Dublin’s streets are narrow or cobbled, it’s best to rent a small car that can easily zip around.

No issues with SIXT itself. I see now that Kayak charged me for 13 days of rental when I only booked the car for 12 days. Also, even though I provided information on both drivers, SIXT was only provided the data on the secondary driver which delayed pickup and risked causing me to have additional charges. SIXT staff at Dublin airport were absolutely fantastic and did everything they could to ensure I avoided any additional charges due to Kayak’s errors.

The car had a pretty severe dent on the side when we went up to get it. The attendants do not accompany you to the car so there was no way to switch to an intact car. It was an uncomfortable ride, but we managed well. The attendants were very kind. The wait to pick up the car was a bit insane. A line was out the door and hugged the lane of car park traffic coming in. Pretty dangerous. All in all an okay experience. The guys there need a raise for the amount of traffic and business they get.

The lady at the counter when we took the car was not in the best of mood to say the least. We were charged €4750 as a security deposit. Not sure everybody has that much room on their credit card. She didn’t even explained why the charge was that high. As we were in a rush, I didn’t bother and thought I would take care of this later. After thinking about it, we didn’t even get any proof paper proof of the transaction.

Quick checkout, but had to collect offsite which added quite a lot of time to both the return and collection overall, even though I had booked as "in terminal" on Kayak.

Car wasn’t as clean as I would have thought they should be for new users The guy who checked us in and the guy who received us after were great! We decided to add a driver after we left and we called Hertz to add a driver and we were told we had to find a nearby Hertz and travel to it. The person on the call told us we could t add someone over a call. When we interrupted our vacation time and walked to a nearby Hertz, the guy said, “You could’ve just did this over the phone.” So, this guy knew his business. I wish people on the phone would be trained correctly because that cost us part of our short three days in Ireland.

I have rented a car and prepaid all taxes and service fees before travelling to Ireland with a fully paid and non refundable reservation number from Kayak. My husband was the driver of this vehicle and presented to the airport for pick up on August 19, 2023. He travels extensively for work and has a credit card that covers Collision Damages Waiver and Theft Protection. He explained this clearly to the agent Michael, who insisted that he would be required and it was MANDATORY (the words exactly used) to purchase these. He upsold him the Supercover insurance and told my husband that this is mandatory. I examined the contract when he returned and told me the nature of this conversation. Having lived and studied in Ireland myself for 5 years, I did my due diligence and inquired from other car rental agencies and examined the legislation within Ireland to determine the validity of these claims. My clear understanding is that Third Party Liability insurance is a legal requirement in the prepaid price of all car rentals in Ireland, protecting from property damage, injury and death. Fire insurance is also included in this prepaid price. If the CDW and TP is declined or that written proof is required and the customer declines this, a credit card authorization of a larger amount can be applied to the rental. These options were not presented and in fact, miscommunicated at the time of rental by your agent Michael. This should be investigated and the insurance reimbursed, or at the very least the supercollision insurance that was in fact, not required.

Pros:

Staff were very helpful at Avis but the insurance fees were outrageous and tripled the cost of the rental. That being said, I cannot commend them enough for how they handled our return of the car early due to COVID-19

Cons:

Quote insurance in advance and do a better job describing luggage space. We did not have enough space for 4 large pieces of luggage in this car

This was the most horrible rental experience I have ever had. The service desk was terrible and the manager was terrible at Dublin airport. We paid over $1000 for a weekly rental and then they said we could not take the car unless we paid an extra $500 in insurance . It was total bait and switch job. They also cancelled my brothers reservation without even letting him know. We went to Sixt rentals and they took care of us and couldn’t have been nicer. I will never ever rent from Avis again. Low class and terrible service.

When I rented the car they said they checked it over and everything is ok. I asked about a couple of dents and they said don't worry about those because we aren't too picky here in Ireland. I said take a picture anyways. When I returned the car the female manager wanted to charge me for those same dents but I don't her about the picture. She looked it up and said don't worry. She then looked at the tires and found a slight bump on one of the tires but I couldn't see it. She said rub my finger on it and I felt a little bump. I didn't see it then or when I rented the car so I must have been driving on a bad tire throughout the trip. They just withdrew 271.73 Euros from my credit card. I have used Enterprise before but it looks like Alamo isn't as good. Everyone in Ireland was very nice and honest except this night woman manager at Dublin Airport.

The insurance situation was absurd. In order to decline their coverage they wanted a 5000 euro deposit and printed paperwork showing you had coverage through some other vendor. The person at the counter acknowledged that our credit card likely provided insurance but was not interested in discussing further. We were just shooed away when we tried to ask questions. This information needs to be clearly explained ahead of time, not on a random cardboard cutout on the desk at time of pickup. Instead you are forced to pay for overpriced third party insurance you don't need.

The wait time at Dublin Airport is ridiculous. The staff push you to upgrade services, like adding unnecessary additional insurance, and to pay more for a car with an automatic.

Despite bringing evidence of insurance coverage from my credit card, they would not honor the rental. I called my US Mastercard and they confirmed I had insurance coverage. They would not accept it and wanted me to pay €60+ a day for coverage. I had rented from both National and Alamo in the prior week for 2 different trips and I had no issues. Avoid Europcar is my advice!

I pay in advance for a full coverage insurance and at the counter for check in they told me that they didn’t accept the insurance I hired and charged me a ridiculous amount for a new insurance. They also charged a different price for the rental. The car was all scratched. Other than that, everything was okay.

Payless cancelled / deleted my reservation without notice. I attempted to contact Payless through website, and they said there wasn’t a reservation. Good thing a companion had made another reservation

Cons:

I used my credit card’s insurance guarantee, but nowhere in the reservation did it say that to do do ALSO required a letter from my credit card company stating (1) that they cover the Republic of Ireland, (2) they will cover the lace loss if totaled, and (3) the last 4 numbers of my cc account. So at the Europcar desk I had to make that phone call, wade through a few phone trees, then talk to a couple of humans. I did get the letter (great service by my cc bank!) but I was lucky - that approval process may take up to 24 hours. The Europcar desk agent said this happens “quite a bit” with the brokers because you don’t provide the information about what each rental car company requires to use the cc insurance waiver benefits. I suggest adding a link to your process that will take your to the specific rental car company page for their CDW. I did use the link provided for my rental but it did not say I would have to get the letter etc.

The overall rental experience was poor. Renting/reserving through your site was confusing and I was not able or couldn't figure out how to add insurance and a GPS Nav system through your site. Thus, the upcharge at the counter was significantly higher. No one was at the Payless counter in the terminal so a sign referred you to get service at the Avis counter. There was no Payless representation in the actual lot either, so again you're dealing with a person working the Avis counter. That's where I was getting upcharged like crazy when getting into a car, to the tune of around $100/day for the cheapest smallest size car. It does get better, good and bad. The piece of s**t car they put me into had 78K miles, the key fob didn't work and to top it off, there was a tire, not a spare (tire on a rim), but just a tire with a hole in the sidewall, stuffed into the little trunk. The good news, when I went back to the rental center on the lot to point this out so that I wouldn't get charged, a service guy in the lot asked what was going on. I explained and he got very upset that I was receiving poor and dangerous (if I had gotten a flat out on the road) service. He asked what insurance I had selected, when I told him I was paying full but through Avis (approx $60 euro/day), he said he'd get me in a better car. This guy walked in, grabbed another set of keys and sent me on my way. The on-the-side upgrade put me in a Toyota Yaris Hybrid with low miles, like 5K, the car performed just fine. So, in the end I was happy with what I was driving however it my daily rate with insurance was around $100euro/day. I ended up returning it a few days sooner than initially planned. Taking advantage of tourists with upcharges didn't seem exclusive to the car rentals; Ryan Air and some hotels along the way used the same practices. Specific to renting through your site, I was not pleased.

We did have to pay another insurance at the desk, but apart from that no other tricks or extra charges were applied.

Expect to pay double what you originally book for - they’ll find a way to deny whatever insurance coverage you have so that you have to buy theirs

Georgi was great at check in. The car upgrade to an H-CR was much appreciated and the car itself was great. Checking back in was a pain as we had to queue with the people hiring. A drop box for keys would have been most welcome.

It took way to long to pick up the car (about 45 minutes). We had to wait in a line at the airport, then take a shuttle bus to the rental car lot, then wait in another 15 minute line at the lot, then wait another 10 minutes for our car to be cleaned. Very duplicative and unnecessary. Also, they made us get car insurance even though they had letters from people with the same credit card as us saying that people with that credit card have coverage in Ireland.
