KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dublin

  • Opting for car rentals in Dublin are more convenient for regular travelers who like to drive in and out of the city center. It is also easy to move around at any time whenever you want to without any limitations compared to when you are using metro buses. This is because some of the buses do not work during holidays and weekends. Rental cars help you get around conveniently, especially if you would like to explore the historical sites such as Cedar Point, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, which is 27 miles away from the city center and Cuyahoga Valley National Parking which is 15 miles away. It will take you approximately 10 minutes to drive there.
  • Dublin travelers will most likely fly through John Glenn Columbus International Airport. This airport has several car rental agencies with which you can rent your car. For instance, Hertz, Avis, Budget and Enterprise. Some of these agencies have counters right next to the baggage claim area. For those that do not offer shuttle services to their pick-up locations. Some of these Dublin car rental agencies offer this service at a fee, while others do it for free, so ensure you confirm with the agencies you have booked with in advance.
  • Be very observant when driving a car rental in Dublin, especially if you are driving downtown. The road downtown is usually a one-way road that often changes direction. Being a new driver here, you will need to customize your car rental with GPS system navigation to help you drive smoothly in the city. You should also watch out for cyclists and pedestrians when driving, especially when driving at night.
  • Some roads in Dublin experience traffic during rush hours. The traffic is usually worse downtown since most businesses are located there. The traffic starts at 7 am to 9 am every morning and then from 4 pm to 7 pm in the evening. You should also avoid driving near the schools during the morning drop-offs and evening pick up since there is a lot of congestion outside the school.

I missed my scheduled meeting because of you guys. After I drove 30 miles, I see the maintenance required sign. I had to drive from Columbus(OH) to Providence(RI). Called the customer, to report and they said another car will be ready at Cleveland airport. But they refused for an exchange. After wasting 2-3 hours - explaining about the situation, I had to reserve another car at Cleveland and take it from there on .

Pros:

Drop off was, Pull up unload and get going. Very easy

Cons:

Have insurance policy collected prior to arrival would be great. I could not find mine and it was frustrating. It was my fault thinking it would be ok to just use company insurance.
