Top tips for hiring a car in Sligo

  • If you want the ability to explore Sligo Abbey at your convenience and the flexibility of travelling the open road west to visit Wild Nephin National Park, a car hire in Sligo offers you the means of experiencing both on your travels through this north-western Irish town. For those who prefer longer trips on the road, the drive to Donegal is about 65 km north, and it's approximately 130 km to Glenveagh National Park.
  • There isn’t a car hire centre at Sligo Airport (SXL), so making a reservation in advance is the best way to obtain a vehicle. Providers like Hertz, Avis and Europcar operate from off-site locations but will deliver Sligo car hires to the airport car park; you can pick up the keys from a desk in the arrivals hall. If you’re travelling without a reservation, pay a visit to one of the car hire locations in downtown Sligo, which is about 10 km from the airport complex.
  • Driving in Sligo is performed on the left-hand side of the road. The minimum age to hire a car in Sligo is 21, but many hired car agencies levy young driver surcharges to those under the age of 25. Additionally, the maximum legal age is 75; though, some companies impose a ceiling at 70 years of age. Seatbelts must be worn by all occupants while the car in is motion. Using a mobile, even with a hands-free device, is not recommended in Sligo or anywhere else in Ireland. Be aware that speed cameras are in active circulation near major junctions and in the busy town centre, so obey posted signs at all times.
  • Sligo isn’t a large town, but that doesn’t mean it is immune to traffic jams and occasional congestion. As with most places, road arteries leading in and out of the town centre are busiest during the morning (roughly 07:00-08:00) and evening (about 19:00-20:00) rush hour periods. This is particularly true along the N4/N15 National Road, which dissects the town north to south, as well as along the N16 artery, which travels in a north-easterly direction to/from Northern Ireland.

I was ripped off because I had to pay far more than stated in my booking. I still don't know where the hidden costs come from and the friendly Avis-lady couldn't tell me either - and I tried contacting Priceline but there is no way you can file a complaint or reach anyone. I tried online but I guess it wasn't even read by anyone. This was the worst travel or booking experience ever. I will never ever again book anything via Priceline and Kayak!!! If anybody reads this: I am still waiting for someone to explain the extra-costs!!!

Car hire insurance in Sligo

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Sligo 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 Sligo.

Deductible

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 Sligo car hire.
