Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Cork
- Cork is known as one of the most cultural, vibrant and jolly cities that Ireland has to offer – and what better way to celebrate the beauty of the region with your family or friends than in a Cork people carrier hire? With a buzzing nightlife, incredible architecture and friendly locals, enjoy the city that celebrates food, drink and life. Whether you are gorging at the English Market, taking in the Gothic architecture of the Cork City Goal or exploring the museums, you will be able to create core memories with loved ones with people carrier hire in Cork. Take a day trip out to the idyllic town of Clonakilty or visit the beach of Inchydoney. Another great day trip for your Cork people carrier hire is Cobh, where one of the city's greatest castles resides.
- When looking for the ideal Cork people carrier hire, one of the best locations to find a wide variety of choices will be Cork Airport (ORK). With top names in car hire such as Budget, Payless, Easirent, Avis, Dollar and more, you can hop off your plane and directly into your people carrier, to start your Cork adventures with no delays.
- If you have driven in Europe, then Irish road travel will be a breeze. Cork has a mixture of well-maintained motorways, cobbled lanes and busy high streets alike, so like most cities, your driving experience will depend on where you go. You will drive on the left side of the road and follow basic rules such as staying off your mobile and being buckled up. You may be tempted to have one too many on a night out whilst in the Irish spirit, but the blood alcohol limit is 0.08% and not worth pushing. Stick to speed limits of 48 kph (30 mph) in the city, 96 kph (60 mph) outside the city and 112 kph (70 mph) on motorways.
- A challenging part of driving in Cork will be navigation, as the city has two rivers and many quays that could be confusing. Make sure you have that sorted from the get-go with a reliable GPS system. The inner city doesn’t present road challenges or congestion but some of the historical parts of the city will have narrow roads; you may find your Cork people carrier hire a little large to park on the street or pass by oncoming traffic. When you leave the city and take day trips, you may pass through urban areas with the odd stray animal or slow-moving traffic, but for the most part, driving in Cork with your people carrier hire will be simple and fun.
- 25% of our users found a people carrier hire in Cork for €80 or less
- Book your people carrier hire in Cork at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- November is typically the cheapest month to hire a van in Cork, with prices around €64 per day. The most expensive month is April, with average prices of €204 per day.

Pros:
We were traveling with 7people and renting 2 cars. We had 6 very large pieces of luggage and 6 small bags. I figured there was no way we would get 2, five passenger vehicles to move all that luggage and 7 people and Alamo/Enterprise gave us there 2 cars with the biggest trunks and it worked perfect.Cons:
The X insurance is expensive but the piece of mind made it necessary since driving in Ire is chaotic. Also, rented GPS was worthless since it did not recognize places, only addresses and in Ireland, addresses are only a convenience. The cell apps work much better, best pay for cell service in Ire.Hertz

We arrived 2 hours late, due to air delays to find the Hertz pickup location closed (at 2pm). There was no notification on how to pick up our car. Instead, we had to wait until the next morning at 9am to return to Hertz to find out that they did not have our car.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Cons:
the representative did not want to take the excess on my credit card and force me to take an insurance . so intead of 60 euros, the rental fees end up reaching 200 euros. the representative said I had to have a letter from my credit card issuer telling they agree to cover the full value of the car , she said the car is worth 30 000. they abuse customers which arrive in a fragile postiion. i have to rent car to visit my daughter in Ireland and such fees are to high for the family budget.

hidden admin charge of 30 dollars, damage to car not correctly recorded, had to waste 40 mins re inspecting the car, long walk from terminal to car pick up, had to wait 30 mins for car to be inspected and deposit returned.Not a Budget rental but a franchise called flynn brothers4.4 Mediocre
Oct 2018
Cons:
Very expensive. Windshield was dirty inside and out. Was on a sight- seeing trip through Ireland with dirty windshields. Car exterior was dirty also. Had no idea how to return car at Cork airport. No instructions on what to do, where to go, how to walk to terminal from car park. No signs at airport car park to indicate how to walk to terminal. Car itself was good size and easy to drive.4.0 Mediocre
Apr 2018
Pros:
The vehicle worked properlyCons:
We were charged an extra drop fee of 65 Euros even though the original quote included this fee (verified by the US Budget office). When I questioned the local pickup office in Cork, they said to take it up with Kayak. We were also given a smaller vehicle than requested - a Nissan Juke, versus the intermediate Toyota Corolla or similar. We had a hard time fitting 3 people and three bags and it was supposed to fit 5 people with 3 bags. We then inquired about a different car and was told it would cost more.Payless

Aug 2019
Pros:
The staff explained that the insurance was not part of the rental agreement and I would have to pay separately. This was not the fault of the car rental company and they remained helpful and professional in their dealings with me.Cons:
The offer from Kayak did not include insurance, which I had to purchase at the desk and more than doubled the cost of the rental. This is a total rip off as the offer presented didn't stipulate this . Incidentally if I had hired directly from the car hire company it would have been much cheaper.2.0 Poor
Jan 2019
Cons:
Showed up to pick up the car I booked online for 86 euros and the man wanted a 5,000.00 Euro deposit for the car because I decline insurance because I have international coverage through my policy here in canada. I said I don't have that kind of money so how much for the car with insurance? I was quoted 571 euros. Remember I booked it online for 86. My Irish boyfriend asked what if i put it on my credit card and drive what is your best price? They dropped 250.00 euros off the rental price. At that point it was clearly discriminatory and subjective so we Did not rent a car and his sister drove us around for the week. How many other people have they ripped off with their insurance scam? Grateful for our backup plan.10.0 Wonderful

Aug 2018
Pros:
The car was clean at pickup and came with a full tank.Cons:
We were quoted $331 by booking online. At pickup, our total came to $846 after all taxes and ‘required insurances.’ I’d asked to drop the insurances because my VISA benefits from my credit union would provide coverage, however, they then added cancellation fees that made cancelling not worth the trouble. Will not be using Payless/Budget or Kayak ever again.Europcar
