KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Dublin

  • 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 hire. When you arrive at the Airport, finding the car hire desks could not be easier. If you’re arriving from a regional flight, you’ll find the hire 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 hire 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 a car hire in Dublin for €20 or less
  • Book your car hire in Dublin at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact hire cars in Dublin are around 73% cheaper than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Dublin 
Verified travelerSept 2024
Stick with National / Alamo - I have never had an issue with them.
IanSept 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 travelerSept 2023
Be prepared to drive a standard transmission on the wrong side of the road! Takes guts!
Verified travelerSept 2023
Driving in Dublin is alright. Roads around Ireland are beautiful! 😊
Verified travelerSept 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.

Always stay on the outer left on roundabouts Mind the left side Don't take yourself to serious All the places I went took CC including the toll stations

Make sure you understand driving on the left side of the road, and study up on roundabouts in Ireland!
MariaSept 2023
I’m sure your car is an automatic on your reservation, unless you drive stick.

This location is ok but you need to take the tram to access.

It was crazy! We drove in circles and then just left town.
Verified travelerSept 2023
Always keep left when driving. Look right when entering roundabouts.
saraiOct 2023
Research full insurance and final price!
DonSept 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….
KayleeAug 2023
Was a smooth rental process, pick up went well and drop off went even faster!!
Verified travelerAug 2023
Great option picking up car at off-airport location.
MarkJun 2023
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.
CynthiaAug 2023
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.
TomJun 2023
Better to use public transit and ride share if staying in Dublin. Rent a car if you are touring the country.
BrendanJul 2023
It was challenging at first being a North American, but I got used to it quickly. Not a big deal.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Be flexible, renting in Ireland can be a nightmare especially with insurance. Choosing a good rental company is very important.

Driving on the left side can take some getting used to, be carerul. In general it was fine though.
DionAug 2023
Contact your credit card company ahead of time if you plan to leverage the coverage they provide.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Get an automatic, plan on paying for insurance, and note that extra drivers cost more.
Verified travelerAug 2023
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 hiring 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. You should choose a mini or economy car type for the best driving experience, plus it’ll be much easier to park in the limited spaces around the city -- not to mention the fact that smaller cars are much cheaper to run.

  • What’s the speed limit in Dublin?

    Within the city center of Dublin, the default speed limit for roads is 31 mph. This limit remains the same for many of the roads within the city boundary. Be aware of speed cameras at either end of Dublin's Port Tunnel. If you’re traveling outside of the city on National Routes, the limit is 62 mph and on highways the speed limit increases to 75 mph. You will always be notified by sign posts where there is a change of speed limit.

  • Where are the best places to park in Dublin?

    Due to the lack of free parking in Dublin, you will have to rely a parking space in one of the many signposted, multi-story parking ramps in the city. However, if you’re visiting on St Patrick’s day (March 17th), parking on the street is free of charge! Most parking lots have a competitive daily rate which depends on which zone you’re in.

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.

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.

Upon renting, a hold was placed on my card for a tank of gas. I was told that this would be returned when I returned the car with the tank full, however this amount was never refunded.

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.

They gave away our car to another person and didn't say anything to us for 30 minutes. And then tried to give us two cars that were smaller than what we purchased. After an hour and 4 cars later we were given a car that was dirty and unwashed.

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.
