Airport Car Rental
The capital of the Republic of Ireland, Dublin is both the most international place in the country and the epitome of Irishness. Whether you’re looking for museums, history, nightlife, or easy access to Ireland’s beautiful nature, Dublin has it all. These are three of the most interesting attractions in and around it:
- EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. A modern and popular institution that was recognized by the World Travel Awards as recently as 2020, the interactive Emigration Museum covers everything from groups that arrived in Ireland 1,500 years ago to the Irish Famine and subsequent exodus to North America of a large percentage of the population. Visit the museum’s official website to learn more about different exhibitions and admission.
- National Maritime Museum. Appropriately located in the former Mariners’ Church which was built for Irish seafarers in 1837, this one is another of the Irish capital's really fascinating museums. There are a number of interesting artifacts and exhibits on display, as well as models of famous Irish ships like the RMS Leinster. The museum is in the suburb town of Dún Laoghaire and can be reached by car from the city center in about 35 minutes.
- Wicklow Mountains National Park. One of the six national parks of the Republic of Ireland, this popular day trip is about an hour’s drive south of Dublin. Attractions include both the network of hiking trails that snake through an impressive landscape of highlands, forests, valleys, and wetlands and the valley of Glendalough which is home to a 6th-century monastic complex.

FAQ
Can we cross into Northern Ireland?
Yes, It is possible to cross the border into Northern Ireland with a rental car. You need to get permission fro the rental company in advance and will also be charged an additional fee.
Is it cheaper to book online or at the rental office when you arrive?
If you pay at the counter you will enjoy the rates imposed directly by the rental company while booking online with us, you can take advantage of rates that we have negotiated based on large volumes and thereby being lower. Also, just as with airline prices, last-minute rates can be significantly higher.
Is it possible to rent diesel cars?
Yes, we have a variety of categories where cars are guaranteed to be diesel models.
When returning the car, is the deposit returned or refunded to the card if everything is in order?
Once the car is returned and is confirmed to have no damage, the rental company will unblock the deposit for the customer, though this may take up to 20 days.
How old do I have to be to rent a car in Dublin?
Most rental companies serving Dublin Airport require drivers to be at least 25 years old. Notable exceptions are Sixt, which requires renters to be at least 21, and Easirent which rents to drivers that are at least 23. Both of these companies charge an extra fee to those under 25.
Can I rent a car in Dubin if I am 75? If so, is there any additional fee?
Not all rental companies at Dublin Airport will rent to drivers that are over 75. For example, Easirent does not rent to anyone over 74.
