How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kilkenny?
Drivers aged 21 and over can hit the road in Kilkenny in a home vehicle. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally be limited to a few car categories, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to take out inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Kilkenny?
Before you can take the wheel in Kilkenny, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. If you choose not to take out the home company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a home supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kilkenny?
In Kilkenny and across Ireland, motorists drive on the left. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you’re used to. For a safer ride, take things slower and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.

Where can I find a Kilkenny car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that are in Kilkenny. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
