Most car rental providers in Dublin offer insurance but the level of protection can differ substantially. If you're unsure whether to get extra protection for your car rental in Dublin, check out KAYAK's car rental insurance guide.
KAYAK has deals for you to compare from 3 car rental agencies in Dublin.
Finding the right price, understanding the add-ons and staying up to date with policy changes can be a challenge. That’s why KAYAK has produced the ultimate guide to renting a car to help you cut though the jargon and make the right choice for your rental car. Find tips and insights for how to book your rental, what car rental insurance you’ll need, how to deal with a car rental agency and what extra fees to expect (and avoid!).
KAYAK searches thousands of car rental agencies to provide you with offers from all car rental agencies operating in Dublin so that you can compare car rental rates, reviews and pick-up and drop-off locations to find the best deal for you.
The type of car you want to consider depends on the number of luggage you have and the number of people you travel with. An Intermediate is an ideal choice if you're visiting with a family or a group of friends. However, an intermediate or compact SUV is a perfect option if you visit off-road destinations. An SUV is well-raised, making it ideal to maneuver uphill and bumpy rural roads. Also, be sure to pick a vehicle with a big fuel tank, especially when traveling outside the city, as gas stations are far apart.
When driving your car rentals in Dublin, expect varying speed limits depending on the roads you drive. For instance, when driving in a residential neighborhood, the speed limit is 40 km/h (25 mph), 25 km/h (15 mph) at blind railroad crossings, and 100 km/h (65 mph) on the highways. Again, you need to cap your speed at 90 km/h (55 mph) on two-lane undivided highways. Be sure to adhere to all the speed limits, including the posted ones, because the city harshly punishes speeding.
Finding a parking spot in Dublin can be challenging. Therefore, if you intend to use car rentals in Dublin, consider booking a Dublin hotel with free parking lots to avoid the hassle of looking for parking places. Holiday Inn Dublin-Pleasanton, an IHG Hotel, Extended Stay America-Dublin-Hacienda Dr, and Hyatt Place Dublin Pleasanton offer free parking for guests. Also, you can consider garage parking at BART-Hayward Station, Tri-Valley Airport Services, or KarPark Automotive Storage and Event—parking in Dublin costs an average of $3 per hour.

Mar 2021
Cons:
Transparency! The car I was promised was not what I got including the option. The car smelled of smoke and clearly the previous renter had animals. The car had dints and the appearance was very subpar. I was embarrassed to even drive it. It set in my garage the whole weekend. I even returned it on Sunday. I felt I was treated like a second class citizen and I all I got was sorry but it is what it is. The only satisfaction I got from this rental was returning it early!! I would never recommend Hertz to my friends and I would never rent from Hertz every again!!4.4 Mediocre

Cons:
Had to wait an hour to pick it up. It wasn't ready. Then, when they finally brought it out, it was filthy on the outside. The tire pressures were all wrong and there were many dents and dings on the exterior, including a stone chip on the windshield.2.0 Poor

I got a bad car and got overcharged since they did not have the category I reserved which showed up as available online. Also their representative Jeff was extremely rude and was on Facebook on his cellphone and made me wait.7.6 Good
Jan 2018
Pros:
Great price for one day rental. Easy pick-up location however this location is closed on the day we had scheduled turn in of our vehicle. We asked for a mini-van. Location only had a full size SUV, so we got a free upgrade.Cons:
Costco website advertises which locations are open for both pick-up and return, so it is easier to pick convenient locations. Our pick-up location being closed Sundays, gave only option to not suffer additional day charge as drop off at the airport. We made this work, but it would have been nice to know this before we committed to this deal. Kayak could do better in this regard. Upgrade was nice however if I'd been in need of a mini-van due to access restrictions, they did not have my requested option unless I drove to another location.3 locations in Dublin

Pick up was way too slow. But the drop off process was awesome. Just drop the key in the box and head to airport.Cons:
The pickup at the pleasanton place was slow. Time is money. Sitting around waiting for folks to come and go to figure out what is going on....only to rent you the car that has been sitting on the lot for the whole time shows the need for process improvement at some locations.10.0 Wonderful
