A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. Requirements can differ from rental company to rental company, so have a thorough read of your policy.

People in Belfast drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Take some time getting to know your new ride before venturing out.

Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to avoid extra costs at the rental desk.
