Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Galway?
Getting around Galway doesn't have to break the bank, with daily car rental prices starting at $39 within the past seven days.
What happens if I need to cancel my Galway car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of the pickup time, most prepaid reservations offer a refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarize yourself with the rental policy. Read through your confirmation for the details or click through to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
Where can I go on a road trip from Galway?
There are so many adventures to be had in Galway, but venture farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can meander around the greater area at your leisure. Add these awesome places to your list:

  • You'll discover Guinness Storehouse and loads of other interesting attractions in Dublin. From Galway, it's approximately 120 miles away.
  • Why not check out the wonders of Waterford too? Unmissable attractions in this happening city include House of Waterford Crystal. Waterford is 110 miles from Galway.
  • Venture into the great outdoors and take in the serenity at Glenveagh National Park. It's 130 miles from Galway.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Galway with Expedia?
Expedia makes it simple to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer ratings. Combine your Galway 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 Galway?
The minimum age to rent a car in Galway is 21. A young driver surcharge generally applies, so check before booking and factor in possible additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some outlets will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may differ between suppliers, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Galway?
While terms and conditions may differ between rental car outlets in Galway, generally the essentials are a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Galway?
People in Galway drive on the left-hand side, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some time getting to know your car before taking off.
What is the cheapest car rental in Galway?
Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've hopped into the driver's seat of a rental car for just $39 a day. The second lowest daily price offered in Galway was $45. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Galway?
Yes, and the awesome news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Galway and drive off with a real bargain.
Where can I find a Galway car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Galway, you'll need to check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Galway?
A thorough insurance policy is a wise choice for your upcoming Galway escape. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Galway with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Ireland, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation 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. Some additional requirements 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 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: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
