LICENCE POLICY
In order to rent a car from us, we require that you hold a full, unendorsed driving licence for at least 12 months prior to the start of your rental. Licences must be produced in person at the rental location on collection of the vehicle. The licence must be from your country of permanent residence.

Holders of UK, US, Canadian, Australian and all EU member states are NOT required to supply an International Driving Permit (IDP). International Driving Permits where required, MUST BE accompanied by the original domestic licence of the driver. This is clearly stated on the international permit. An International permit presented without the domestic licence, will not be accepted.

Customers from the United Kingdom must present both the card and paper part of their licence. Where the paper part is missing, our rental agent will be required to contact the DVLA to confirm that there are no endorsements on the license. Due to the time involved, we charge an administration fee of EUR11.35 for this service. Please note that the DVLA can only be contacted during their regular opening hours and we accept no liability for being unable to release a car to a customer in the event that the DVLA is uncontactable.

Irish Law requires that drivers are in possession of their driving licence at all times. Please note that failure to inform us of endorsements on your licence will result in us being unable to provide you with a car and a forfeiture of any deposit taken.

FORMS OF PAYMENT
We require that the main driver of the car is the holder of a major credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Diners Club are accepted) which must be produced on arrival. Payment must be made with a credit card as we do not accept other forms of payment (cash, debit cards, electronic cards or the credit card from a third party will NOT be accepted). At the time of rental, there must be sufficient funds on your card to cover the entire cost of the rental. This includes the insurance excess amount should you decline our excess waiver insurance on collection of the vehicle. Holders of a 'Chip and Pin' credit card must know their PIN number

In order to rent a car from us, you must have your driving licence and credit card (in your own name) with you on collection of the vehicle. Unfortunately we will be unable to rent a vehicle to a customer who does not fulfill these criteria and we will not be held liable for any costs incurred if a customer is unable to pick up their car as a result of failing to produce the above items or not knowing their credit card 'Chip and Pin' number.
