You’ll need to be at least 21 to take the wheel of a home vehicle in Ireland. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.

Generally, all that’s required is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your car.

You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Ireland holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s useful to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.

If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
