My Irish Cousin advises Ireland-bound travellers to book their car rentals far in advance for the 2021 and 2022 seasons. With a dramatic decrease in car rental fleet sizes and shortages on microchips, tires and resins, renting a car this season could be trickier than past years.
Given the increase in global inoculation rates, a post-pandemic surge in travel is expected for the 2021 and 2022 summers. The rapid demand for car rentals has already been identified in the United States and Canada and is expected to only grow internationally.
The days of walking up to the airport booth to see what is available are over. With what seems like mile-long lines queuing around the corner and horror stories of incredibly high daily rates, My Irish Cousin is here to ensure you avoid the hassle. Here are some tips you can take to prepare you for renting a car on your next trip:
Plant ahead

MIC will meet your needs, whatever they may be. Serving five airports and 20 locations throughout the island of Ireland, we will meet you where you are and help you get started on your journey.
