KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dublin
- When you travel to Dublin, consider getting a car rental to benefit from your trips fully. Dublin car rentals offer the best way to adventure the city's most vibrant locations without depending on third-party transportation services. While the city has an excellent public transport system, you may not reach certain destinations via public transport. For instance, art lovers who wish to sightsee at Henry Cowell Redwood State Park Campground, 59.4 miles from the city center, can conveniently get there via car in about 1h 13min instead of 3h 24min by BART and bus.
- If you are flying into Dublin, you’ll likely land at Oakland Airport (OAK), 15.3 miles from the city center. Consider getting your car rentals in Dublin at the airport. Some car rental agencies have desks at the airport terminal, while others offer pick-up services. Also, other rental companies provide shuttle services for car rental pick-up locations. The popular agencies at the airport include Fox, Budget, Enterprise, Alamo, Hertz, and Dollar. Book your car online to avoid long queues at the rental desks.
- When driving your car rentals in Dublin, expect to encounter jaywalkers. Although the practice is illegal in the city, pedestrians crossing the roads without signaling is common. Drive carefully to avoid hitting them because you don't want to get yourself in trouble, even if they're on the wrong side of the law. Another obstacle worth your attention is cyclists on the city streets. Being a bicycle-friendly city, expect cyclists when driving your car rental in Dublin. They often disregard traffic light rules. Be cautious to avoid hitting them.
- Like other California cities, Dublin experiences considerable traffic snarl-ups, especially during rush hours. Expect morning rush hours to begin at 7:00 am to 10:00 am, and the evening rush hours start from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. If possible, avoid traveling during these times of the day. Public commuter areas are also worth avoiding during these times because they are brimming with cars and human traffic.

- Book your rental car in Dublin at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

What type of car is recommended for driving in Dublin?
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.
What is the speed limit in Dublin?
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.
Where are the best places to park in Dublin?
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
Oct 2020
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

Pros:

Upgraded car smelled like smoke. Chip in window. Windows were dirty and literally could not see out of rear view mirror. Had to clean manually. Gas was 3/4 filled!! Worst rental experience ever!!!2.0 Poor

Pros:

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.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

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
