  • Head to Dublin for an excellent sightseeing experience. Around 70 miles from Athlone, it's home to many amazing attractions, including Guinness Storehouse.

Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare costs, offers and rental providers, and to check customer reviews. Combine your Athlone car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athlone?
In Athlone, the requirement is usually 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It's always a good idea to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Athlone?
Renting a car in Athlone is a cinch. Normally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card. After you've found your perfect set of wheels, look up the terms and conditions to ensure there are no further requirements prior to pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Athlone?
Motorists in Athlone drive on the left, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Spend a bit of extra time getting familiar with the differences before hitting the road.

Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've sat in the driver's seat of a rental car for just $35 per day. The second lowest daily rate in Athlone was $37.

Where can I find an Athlone car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Athlone, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Athlone?
It's a good idea to have collision damage protection to safeguard your Athlone rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24-hour emergency support and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in Athlone with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Ireland, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
