Travel to Ireland | How to rent a car? | First steps with a right hand drive | Ireland Vlog #1

Hi Dan, just subscribed to the channel, am Irish myself, age 52 and living 21 years in Manchester U.K., have extended family in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath - I’m totally reliant on public transport, so having the Bus Éireann coaches to Navan is a real plus - Sinead looked and sounded lovely on camera 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️

Even though this video is 4 years old I found it useful for someone who never rented a car in Ireland. Someone made a comment about DON’T buy the insurance if you are from America because our car insurance will cover the rental. This is not true in most cases. For instance, Geico is a very popular American car insurance company and they will not cover any car rental in Europe. Some credit card companies however will cover the rental car.

Never buy the insurance if your American. Our insurance companies use our own insurance

I hired a Ford Focus they gave me a BMW X1 for compensation because they are not in T1 anymore and i had to search for over an hour to find them in T2 on the second floor.
I had to return the car to Car Park C T1 but there was no key safe.
I had to run for 15 minutes to T2 to drop the key in a key safe and back again to T1. I almost missed my flight back home.
Oh and i only had to pay 100 Euro in deposit for the diesel.

I'm traveling to Dublin the next week and I was wondering why you had to pay 250 euros extra. thx for the video btw. it was very useful.

Hello. Did you pay with Debit card?

How much did you did they block and return on your credit card?
