How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kildare?
Kildare rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and stricter home conditions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Kildare?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ from home company to home company, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kildare?
Cars drive on the left in Kildare. This means that the driver’s seat and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you’re used to. Allow for a little extra time to get the hang of the differences before you hit the open road.

We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was AU$39. The next best price to rent a ride in Kildare was AU$110 a day.

Where can I find a Kildare car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 in Kildare often depends on the holiday home supplier you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age group. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to avoid unnecessary costs on pickup.
