All-inclusive Car Rental in Ireland.
Car hire with actual people behind it. We answer the phone, we know the roads, and we sort whatever the trip throws at you. You drive, we mind the rest.
Everything's included. We actually mean it.
Tyres and glass covered
Chipped windscreen on a stone road? Covered. You won't pay for surprises.
No photos needed
No walking around the car filming every panel. We handle pickup and return.
Full roadside assistance
Included at no extra cost, everywhere on the island, day and night.
Zero excess, zero deductible
If something happens, you owe nothing extra. That's the whole point.
All tolls included
The toll device is in the car and every charge is on us. Drive through, wave.
No deposit, no card hold
Your money stays yours. Book, land, drive.
True full coverage. No empty promises.
Here's a thing other companies don't say out loud: when their “full cover” meets a real accident, they will cancel your contract on the spot and leave you stranded, no replacement car, holiday over.
We think that's no way to treat family. If you have an accident with us, you get a replacement car and we sort the rest. No hassle, no debate.
When we say full and comprehensive, we mean full and comprehensive.

Age is only a number. If your licensing authority says you're fit to drive at home, that's good enough for us.
Pick up wherever suits
Over 30 locations across the island: Dublin Airport, Shannon, Belfast International, Galway, Kilkenny and everywhere sensible in between.
Dublin Airport
Dublin Airport is where most visitors first touch Irish soil. The desk is inside the car hire compound, a short shuttle ride from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. You will not need to queue at a generic counter or hunt for a bus stop. From the airport you are twenty minutes to Dublin city on the M1, an hour south to the Wicklow Mountains on the M11, or three hours west to Galway on the M6. Every major motorway in the country starts within a few kilometres of the terminal. If you are landing on a transatlantic red-eye and just want to get moving, this is the smoothest start. Flight delays are monitored at the airport, and there is nothing to sign that you have not already agreed to online.
Shannon Airport
Shannon Airport is where North America meets the west of Ireland. Direct flights from the US and Canada land here daily, and the counter is on the ground floor of the terminal building. You can collect your keys and be driving toward the Cliffs of Moher within the hour. The airport sits at the crossroads of Clare, Limerick, and Galway. Bunratty Castle is a ten-minute detour. The Burren's lunar limestone landscape is forty-five minutes north. Galway city is just over an hour up the N18. Shannon is the quieter alternative to Dublin for transatlantic arrivals. Shorter queues, easier parking, and you start on the Wild Atlantic Way instead of fighting eastbound motorway traffic.
Belfast International Airport
Belfast International Airport is the larger of the two Belfast airports, located near Antrim, about thirty minutes northwest of the city. It handles most of Northern Ireland's long-haul and charter traffic. From here you are already north of Belfast, which means the Causeway Coast and Giant's Causeway are closer. The M2 motorway takes you straight to the Antrim Coast Road. Heading south, you can reach Dublin in about two hours on the M1. If you are flying in from mainland Europe or on a charter, this is likely where you will land. The car hire area is well signposted from arrivals.
Galway
Galway is the unofficial capital of the west. The branch is on the Tuam Road, on the eastern side of the city. It is easy to reach from the N6/M6 motorway and avoids the narrow streets of the city centre. Connemara starts twenty minutes west. The Aran Islands ferry at Rossaveal is about forty minutes. The Cliffs of Moher are a ninety-minute drive south through the Burren. Galway is the hub that connects all the signature landscapes of the west coast. The city itself is worth a day or two before you pick up the car. Walk the Latin Quarter, eat oysters at the Spanish Arch, and catch some live music. Then drive.
