How do I find the best car rental deals in Ballina with Expedia?
Check ratings and reviews, choose your car class and compare prices from top suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Ballina car rental with flight or hotel bookings and hit the road with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ballina?
Rental car rules in Ballina require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental providers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Ballina?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ballina?
If you're renting a car in Ballina or planning a big road trip in Ireland, get ready to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.

Where can I find a Ballina car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Ballina, we recommend checking the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ballina?
Get your road trip off to a safe start by purchasing Expedia's collision protection. While there are many types of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for collision damage, vandalism and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency assistance. Don't wait until you reach the rental counter to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Ballina ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Ballina with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Ireland, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note 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 ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
