CAR RENTAL INSURANCE
All self-drive cars in Ireland include unlimited mileage, local taxes and third party insurance. This means that if you have an accident, the other party is covered.
Under the third party insurance policy, the hirer is responsible for all damage to the rental car and must have an imprint of a major credit card with the car rental company at the start of the rental to cover any damages that may occur. The driver and passengers in a rental car may choose to take out Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) to cover injuries received while driving. This is at a supplemented cost and can be paid directly to the car hire company. The additional charges to cover an additional driver are payable at the start of hire directly to the car hire company.
