What types of cars can I rent in Galway?
Inexpensive, easy to handle and great on mileage, it's little wonder compact cars are the most booked rental in Galway. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Galway?
Galway is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to see what's in the wider region. These are some great options:
- Head off to Syracuse for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 177 kilometres from Galway, it has tons of amazing sights, including Museum of Science and Technology.
- About 177 kilometres away, Hartford is also popular with travellers. Set aside time to experience Mark Twain House & Museum while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
- Plymouth Rock is 306 kilometres from Galway and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Galway?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Galway. Take note that rental outlets will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists are usually restricted from renting larger vehicles and luxury cars. Read through the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any hassles when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Galway?

Where can I find a Galway car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little research. Managed to find a Galway outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Galway with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:
- Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
- Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
