Useful Traveler Tips for Renting from CARHIRE at Dublin Airport

Before You Arrive

• Pre-book Your Vehicle: To ensure a smooth pick-up experience, it's advisable to book your vehicle in advance. This not only guarantees the availability of your preferred car but also speeds up the collection process at the airport.
• Document Preparation: Make sure you have all necessary documents ready before you approach the service desk. Generally, you'll need your driver's license, a credit card in the driver's name, and any booking confirmation details.

At the Airport

• Allow for Time: Navigating through the airport, especially if it's your first time, may take longer than expected. Allocate extra time to find the CARHIRE service desk, complete the rental formalities, and familiarize yourself with the vehicle.
• Inspect the Vehicle: Before leaving the airport with your rental car, inspect it thoroughly for any existing damages and ensure these are documented by the CARHIRE staff. This will help avoid any disputes when returning the car.

On the Road

• Understand Irish Driving Laws: Familiarize yourself with the local driving laws, including speed limits and the requirement to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Adhering to these laws will ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience in and out of Dublin.
• Plan Your Routes: While Dublin is well-signposted, having a GPS or a map app on your smartphone can be invaluable, especially for navigating in more rural areas outside of Dublin where signal might be weaker.
