Good questions
Where are the car hire desks at Dublin Airport?
Several companies have desks in the Terminal 1 arrivals hall and the Terminal 2 car park. Many others are located a short, complimentary shuttle bus ride away in the airport's car rental zone.
How does the M50 toll work for rental cars?
The toll is barrier-free and cameras record your plate. Rental companies manage this for you, typically using a toll tag, and will charge your card for any crossings you make during your rental period.
Do I need extra insurance to drive in Ireland?
Standard rentals include basic insurance, but often with a high excess. Many customers choose to purchase separate car hire excess insurance for peace of mind, which can be cheaper than buying it at the desk.
