How old do you have to be to rent a car in Skibbereen?
Generally, the rules are 21 years and over in Skibbereen. You should be aware that most outlets will charge a young driver fee. Check before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a larger car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Skibbereen?
While booking conditions can differ between car rental outlets, generally the essentials are your driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Skibbereen?
Unlike the U.S, motorists in Skibbereen drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving away.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Skibbereen?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and book a ride to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Skibbereen car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Skibbereen rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's good to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
