Car Rental Services at Dublin Airport
Hiring a car is still one of the most convenient ways to get around Dublin – or all of Ireland, for that matter. Assuming you’ll need more than transport to and from your hotel, a Dublin Airport car hire is almost always going to be more cost effective than a taxi. It also grants you full mobility, the freedom to plan your own itinerary and a great deal more privacy than buses and trains.

Greater Ireland also has several noteworthy drives that are much more enjoyable if you have your own mode of transport. Many of them are frequented by tour buses, and visitors who have their own car are able to beat the crowds and access attractions that are off the worn path.
Several car hire companies operate in both terminals, and checking in is easy. Those who have pre-booked their service can simply present their paperwork when they arrive at the airport. The associate behind the counter will walk you through the formalities and help you connect to the car rental services area. Preparing yourself with reading and downloading a rental guide can be useful, visit here.
Dublin Airport hire cars are located between Terminals 1 and 2. Simply take the covered walkway connecting the two terminals and look for the sign indicated car rental services halfway between the two. Once there, you’ll be guided through a multi-point inspection before you slide behind the wheel and get on your way.
Dropping your vehicle off is even more convenient. You can return your vehicle to the same place you picked it up. On-site associates will perform a quick inspection to make sure everything is in order, and then you’re on your way. If you happen to return the vehicle outside of standard hours, there will be a clearly displayed box where you can drop your keys.
Campervan rental is available through CARHIRE.ie and Irish Car Rentals companies with pick up at Dublin Airport’s depot.
