Frequently asked questions

Where can I pick up a car in Dublin Airport?

At the rental desks in and around Dublin Airport. The address and opening hours are shown by the rental company before you book.

Ireland: which side of the road do they drive on?

On the left. If you are used to the right, allow yourself a little time at the start — junctions and roundabouts catch people out, not the straight roads.

Which currency will I be charged in?

Prices are usually set in EUR. The rental company sets both the price and the deposit, and shows them before you book.

Can I drive the car into another country?

Often yes within the EU, but never assume it. Crossing a border has to be allowed by the rental company and usually costs extra, so check the terms before you book.

How far is Dublin from the airport?

9 km.

Are the motorways tolled?

Some motorways charge at the barrier, others are free. Payment is by cash or an electronic tag.
