Car Hire Dublin Airport Mini Guide
Dublin Airport is
Ireland’s primary airport bringing more international passengers to the emerald island than all the other airports in Ireland combined. In fact, Terminal 1 alone brings more passengers than all other airports in Ireland alone. It’s the main terminal used by the majority of the airlines that operate services to and from Dublin.
Dublin Airport Terminal 1
Unless you’re arriving on Aer Lingus, or from the US, the chances are that when you arrive into Dublin Airport, it’ll be Terminal 1 that greets you. Car hire is very well appointed here, making it easy to reserve and collect your rental car in advance from the terminal. All of the main rental agents are based in the airport terminal itself, just after baggage reclaim, and most operate a short (free) transfer service to the car rental lot, a kilometre or so away from the arrivals hall. From here, the car rental facilities are excellent with easy access to the M50 motorway..
Dublin is a very popular location for short stays and city breaks and can be done on a budget, particularly if you rent a budget / economy rental car from terminal 1. The options are seemingly limitless at the lower end of the market and the premium suppliers have to compete for custom here so prices are low. Expect to pay around 10-15 EUR per day which represents great value for money. MPV and SUV rentals are available from terminal 1 for larger groups and families with up to 9 seat rentals available.
Dublin Airport Terminal 2 Mini Guide
With the majority of arrivals into Dublin Airport terminal 2 being from the
USA, car rental here is extremely well appointed. Ireland is a very popular destination for US citizens and renting a car at terminal 2 is big business. Here you’ll find all the major car rental brands you would expect at any international airport along with some local reputable Car Hire Agents.
With a huge amount of US and Canadian citizens arriving into terminal 2 you will find that automatic rental cars here are very popular and well appointed. US citizens don’t tend to rent the smallest economy / budget cars as like to have the security of driving something a little larger and automatic gearboxes are less common in smaller rental cars. The Toyota Corolla is a popular entry model with Ford Mondeo proving popular, whilst the Ford Galaxy offers room for 7 passengers. 9 seat MPV’s are also available to rent at Dublin airport terminal 2.
