How old do you have to be to rent a car in Achill?
Achill rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Achill?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Achill?
If you're renting a vehicle in Achill, you'll have to stick to the left. Take note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission for a smoother motoring experience.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Achill?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and secure a ride that's all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find an Achill car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found an Achill supplier that does rent to under 25s? That's great! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
