Budget Car Rental, Ireland

2.14.2011 | |



There are place in Ireland which is easily accessible via roads and if you are in need of wheels, i would suggest you to take a car from Budget. They have many outlets all over Ireland and even have an online car booking system through their website.



We manage to get a 4 door VW Polo for about 160 EUR, inclusive of GPS, insurance and 80++ EUR deposit which will be returned upon successfully returning the car in the condition it was lent out and with a full tank of petrol. We did not have any problems with the cars so far, both the times we rented it to drive up to Wicklow.



All you need is a valid drivers license from your country and a credit card. I heard its much cheaper to order the car online, maybe you can try doing so. The downside is that they do not accept cash, could be for security reasons should anything happen to the car that was lent out to you.

You can work your way around the cashless system if you have a friend in Ireland. Deposit the money into their bank account and they will be able to use their ATM card or Laser service to pay for the car.


The staff are a little stuffy and arrogant and sometimes you have to wait a while for your car, but i don't think its that bad considering the price you are renting the car for. And oh! btw, the amount mentioned above is for a 24hour time period.

They usually give you about 1 to 2 hours if you are late in returning your car. Just make sure you call and inform them on your situation, chances are you get a good person, they will still refund your full deposit, like what happened to me when the car got clamped because of insufficient parking fee :P
