A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Birr?
In Birr and across Ireland, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slow to begin with and leave yourself extra time to arrive at your destination.

Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
