Good questions
How does the M50 toll work for hire cars?
The toll is recorded by camera. Most rental companies have an arrangement where they pay the toll and then charge the amount, plus an administration fee, to the credit card on your rental agreement.
Do I need extra insurance when hiring a car in Ireland?
While basic CDW is often included, Ireland has unique insurance rules. Many travellers opt for extra cover to reduce their excess. Check what your credit card offers, but be aware many US cards exclude Ireland.
Can I take my hire car from Dublin to Northern Ireland?
Yes, almost all providers allow you to drive the car into Northern Ireland. You must inform them at the time of booking, as a cross-border fee may apply.
