You have a pretty free range of choices when it comes to the type of car to hire in Kilkenny, barring the weather conditions in winter, so base your choice on your specific needs. If you're on a solo visit, perhaps on holiday or on business, you won't need more than a compact economy car that's ideal for negotiating the narrow roads in the centre of town. Choose between a hatchback or a sedan model. Families can hire a medium-sized saloon or an all-purpose SUV, with lots of room and big windows for sightseeing visibility. For larger groups, book a passenger van that can accommodate everyone with their luggage.
Speed limits in Kilkenny are governed by a series of municipal schedules and special bylaws. These range from 20 km/h in housing estates to 100 km/h motorway speed limits. In general, you shouldn't drive at more than 50 km/h in built-up areas. On local and regional roads, you can travel at up to 80 km/h. Once you're on the dual-carriage motorways, you can increase your speed to 100 km/h. Kilkenny also has 30 km/h and 60 km/h zones by special dispensation. These are only active at certain times on weekdays, so just make sure that you follow the posted speed limit signs and you'll be fine.
There's plenty of parking available in Kilkenny, as it isn't a particularly busy town. However, you'll have to pay for most of it. This includes both street parking and privately run car parks. Parking costs are very reasonable, though. The Kilkenny-Market Cross Car Park is convenient and centrally located on Parliament Street. Another popular place to park is at Ormonde Street Car Park. There are plenty of others too, so don't worry about parking when it comes to hiring a car in Kilkenny. You'll invariably be able to find a spot where you want to be when you're out sightseeing.

Jan 2017
Pros:
Service at pick up was good.Cons:
Tried to sell extra unnecessary liability insurance while allocating the car....this should be offered at the reception desk.2.0 Poor
Jul 2016
Pros:
The clerk went over to the neighboring business to get their wi-fi password so I could contact my friend, and she also let me use the phone.Cons:
The car could not be rented to me because my card was combination debit/credit, not just credit. The policy is to allow only credit cards to rent a car. I found another business to accept my card, but it was triple the cost.10.0 Wonderful

Some Kilkenny car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Kilkenny.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Kilkenny car hire.
