KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kildare
- By choosing to use a car hire in Kildare, you can explore the local area of 1,695 km squared at your own leisure. This is perfect for people who want to take their time to visit any of the nearby destinations, without having to worry about sticking to the public transport schedule. By using a car hire in Kildare, you can drive to Dublin, or the nearby Wicklow Mountains and spend as long as you want there.
- The nearest airport to Kildare is Dublin Airport, which is the largest airport in the country. It has plenty of car hire companies to choose from, such as Budget, Avis, Dollar, Sixt, and Europcar. You can find the offices for the car hire company near the baggage reclaim area in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and the offices are usually staffed when there are scheduled flights. If you think that you will arrive outside of the opening hours, then we recommend that you contact the car hire company directly.
- When driving your car hire in Kildare, you will be required to follow all of the road laws of the Republic of Ireland. You must drive your vehicle on the left-hand side of the road and overtake on the right. Vehicles that come from the right usually have priority, particularly on roundabouts, and vehicles on the roundabout have preference over those waiting to merge.
- Kildare receives a lot of rain throughout the year and so you should be aware that this can affect the visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. We advise you to take care when driving your Kildare car hire as jaywalking is common and can be dangerous due to the reduced visibility. We also recommend that you try and avoid driving through the city centre in your car hire in Kildare, as this is where you will find more congestion due to traffic.

What car is recommended for driving in Kildare?
If you only plan on driving within the urban area of Kildare, then we recommend that you use an economy or compact car hire in Kildare, as these vehicles are ideal for driving through the narrow streets and are easier to park. If you would like to explore outside the urban area, and visit the nearby Wicklow Mountains, for example, then we recommend taking an SUV as they are better prepared for country roads and longer trips.
What is the speed limit in Kildare?
The speed limit in Kildare is the same as in the rest of the country and will be displayed in kmph, both on the street signs and in the car hire vehicles. In residential areas and school zones, you must drive at a maximum of 30 kmph, but in the rest of the urban areas the limit is 50 kmph. Outside of the built-up areas, the limit can vary from 60 to 100 kmph, and will be signposted. The limit on the motorways in 120 kmph unless another speed is displayed.
What are the best places for parking in Kildare?
Throughout the area, you can find plenty of places to park your car hire in Kildare, including free and paid parking. We recommend the 650 Fair Green Rd Parking, in Newbridge, Kildare if you would like to leave your car hire in a car park. Otherwise, you can park your car hire in Kildare in on-street parking. There are free zones, generally farther from the city centre, and there are pay and display zones that will require you to use the closest ticket machine and display the ticket on the inside of your windscreen. Depending on the area, the price may vary, and we recommend that you pay with change, as the machines may not accept card or offer change in return.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Kildare 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 Kildare.
