How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ballina?
Drivers aged 21 and above can go road-tripping around Ballina in a rental vehicle. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to take out inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Ballina?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ballina?
If you're renting a car in Ballina or planning a road trip around Ireland, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ballina?
Yes, and the awesome news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Ballina and score an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a Ballina car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Ballina. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
