dollar_coin_payment-512 Picking up out of time

Out-of-hours car hire surcharge at Dublin Airport or any other pick up location in the city varies depending on provider’s policy. For instance, Sixt charges you €60 if you pick up or drop off a vehicle out of hours. Budget has a 29-minute grace period for returns and:

  • after 30 minutes late – hourly car rate charges and taxes may apply;
  • after 90 minutes late – full-day late charges and taxes may apply;
  • after 7 hours late, if you did not call an agent to extend your rental, an additional late fee of $10 per day applies.

To clarify all the incurring surcharges and to make proper travel calculations simply call the number mention in the confirmation voucher.

dollar_coin_payment-512 Crossing the border

You can drive from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland (the UK) and charges from companies may apply. For example, Sixt requires receiving it written permission for a charge of €29.

dollar_coin_payment-512 Fuel

Fuel charges are not included into the price of your deal, so remember that you will have to re-fill the tank when you drop off the car (see which fuel conditions your deal has). Or you can pay at the rental counter and don’t worry about refueling. Also, you may be required to reserve a fuel deposit on your credit card that will be released when you return the car full.

dollar_coin_payment-512 Fines and tolls

If you fail to present a printed version of the voucher, you may be charged at local rates. Also, remember about Irish toll roads (http://www.etoll.ie/) and administrative fines. We hope you won’t have to worry about fines, as you don’t plan to break the rules. =)

dollar_coin_payment-512 Cancellation of your booking and no-shows

If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance, you’ll receive a refund minus $57 for fully prepaid bookings or if your online payment is less than $57, no refund will be made for your car hire booking. Read “Cancellation and no-shows” policy attentively!

Do your calculations correctly, carefully and well in advance! That way your car journey will be more enjoyable and devoid of unpleasant surprises and additional payments!
