How old do you have to be to rent a car in Donegal?
Generally, the rules are 21 years and over in Donegal. It's worth noting that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Check before you pick your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car providers.

What do you need to rent a car in Donegal?
The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental provider to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Donegal?
In Donegal, 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. To stay safe, take things slow at first and allow yourself extra time to arrive at your destination.

Yes. Expedia partners with reputable providers that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every inch of Donegal — or far beyond!
