How old do you have to be to rent a car in Clare Island?
Clare Island rules state drivers must be at least 21 before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Clare Island?
Generally, all that's required is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Clare Island?
People in Clare Island drive on the left, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some time getting familiar with your new car before setting out.

Where can I find a Clare Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
