The worst part is to keep asking you to add this and add 𠮶. I added car insurance to trip.com, and Yuan Zhong asked me to buy insurance for euro 100 (only rent a car for 3 days). As a foreign car rental, it would be a bit confused, so I had to add it.

We were given an upgrade to our booking. Toyota Prius hybrid was great to drive. But next time we will just book a car without full insurance coverage and purchase it over the counter with car rental company itsel when we collect the car. Otherwise we only have 3rd party insurance. Purchasing insurance over the counter with the car rental company will ensure smooth process when returning the car as we dont have to wait for inspection. Further, should there be any damage, the insurance will automatically cover and no claim is needed. The car rental company will not hold our deposit.

Very easy to collect the car. Desk in airport to go through paperwork and then a shuttle bus to where the car was parked. On return the car was dropped back and checked straight away and a car took us to the terminal.

Toyota Yaris
The car was upgraded from Yaris Hybrid to CHR. Very easy to pick up the car & we just dropped the car key at the Car Rental Counter at Terminal 1 early in the morning.

Reliable service. Free upgrade to larger vehicle. Very busy office at start of day, would advise arriving by 9am. Full insurance at office same price as online that pretty much covers all. Would advise to run through lights etc before leaving carpark just to be sure. Excellent staff. 24 hour key drop off but please check carpark opening hours for car drop off. Open 7 days.

This proof provides all rental details such as pick-up/drop-off locations, the car rental supplier's contact number, and insurance information.
How old do I need to be to rent a car in Ireland?
Car rental suppliers in Ireland typically only rent cars to customers aged 18 and over. Some suppliers may charge an additional fee for younger drivers (for example, those aged 25 and under). For detailed age requirements, please refer to the rental supplier's terms and conditions.
What documents and information do I need to provide to rent a car in Ireland?
Depending on the rental supplier and the country or region you're visiting, the car rental supplier may require certain documents (such as a valid driver’s license, passport, credit card, and other documents with your name and address) along with a printed booking voucher. We recommend checking with your rental supplier and the local embassy or consulate (or their websites) of your destination country/region before booking. Please remember that all travelers are responsible for preparing the correct documents before departure.
Important notice: All additional driver and equipment fees must be paid at the time of pickup. Please ensure your credit card can cover these fees. If you cannot provide a valid credit card, if your credit limit is insufficient, or if the card is not in the main driver’s name, the staff may refuse to let you pick up the car, and no refund will be provided. If this is the case, you may not receive a refund.
