Where can I find an Ireland car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies located in Ireland. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Ireland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
