Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Kilkenny car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the details about this. In nearly all situations, total refunds are provided if a prepaid rental is cancelled at least six hours before picking up the car. It's a good idea to scan the rental policy to double-check if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Kilkenny?
Dart around in a mini, splash out on a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact vehicle — the most commonly booked rental type in Kilkenny. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're visiting busy cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that's still nice.
Where can I go on a road trip from Kilkenny?

  • Portland is about 129 kilometres from Kilkenny. Top-rated tourist spots like Portland Museum of Art deserve to be high on your must-see list here.
  • Why not see all that's on offer in Manchester too? Major tourist attractions to see here include Southern New Hampshire University Arena. Manchester is 161 kilometres from Kilkenny.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kilkenny?
In Kilkenny, the requirement is 21 years and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Don't forget to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Kilkenny?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kilkenny?
You can. Expedia partners with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Kilkenny — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Kilkenny car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Kilkenny. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
