It's easy to pick up an awesome deal with Expedia. Just choose your wheels, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from major brands. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Portlaoise car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portlaoise?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Portlaoise. Keep in mind that rental outlets will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting luxury or specialty vehicles. Check the fine print before booking so there are no surprises when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Portlaoise?
While rules can differ between rental car outlets in Portlaoise, the two main things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Portlaoise?
Motorists in Portlaoise drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Take a while getting familiar with the differences before venturing out.

Where can I find a Portlaoise car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Portlaoise rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's better to know this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Portlaoise?
A thorough insurance plan is a wise idea for your upcoming Portlaoise vacation. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Portlaoise with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Ireland, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's 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 need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
