How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athea?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a car in Athea. Be aware that most rental companies will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Carefully read the fine print before booking so there are no surprises at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Athea?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental outlets, so it's always wise to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Athea?
In Athea and across Ireland, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This alone can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. To stay safe, take things slow at first and allow extra time to get from A to B.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Athea?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a ride that's all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find an Athea car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Athea rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's good to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
