How old do I need to be to rent a car in Dublin?
To rent a vehicle in Ireland through Auto Europe you must be 21 years old and have had a valid driver’s license for at least 2 years. A maximum rental age limit of 74 & 75 may apply depending on the supplier. If you are looking to rent a car under the age of 25 or if you are over the age of 70, you may be subject to an additional surcharge of $17-$25 CAD per day depending on the rental supplier.
Can I rent a car without a credit card in Dublin?
It is necessary to have a credit card to rent a car in Dublin. When you arrive at the rental counter to pick up your vehicle, you are required to present a valid credit card in the name of the primary driver indicated on your voucher. Additionally, the card must have enough available credit to cover the security deposit.
The necessity of presenting a credit card during vehicle pickup is to enable the rental agency to secure a hold on the security deposit. In the absence of a credit card, the rental agency may refuse to provide the vehicle or require supplementary insurance payments. It is important to note that credit cards from additional drivers or cash deposits are not permitted. Although some rental agencies may accept debit cards, this practice is relatively rare. The security deposit will be released from your card upon the return of the vehicle in the same condition as it was when initially rented.
For information about credit card holds and deposits associated with your booking, you may consult our booking engine by clicking on the blue (i) icon or review your voucher once your reservation is finalized.

We suggest reviewing the terms and conditions during the booking process or reaching out to our reservations team for further assistance.
