Looking for car rentals at Dublin Airport and coming from the US . Insurance is a little bit tricky over there. What do you recommend not to get a headache when we rent a car
Agent
Okay were Ireland has two unusual elements for rental cars. First one is you need a credit card no other kind of card is acceptable.
Client
I have a credit card. I am more concerned about choosing the right insurance.
Agent
No when it comes to Insurance in Ireland only you must purchase the insurance at the desk and you will be given the number of options or when it is offered to you online you can add the Extra Insurance in advance ( depending the State you are from ).
Client
OK, understood.
Agent
In both cases you have no worries. It is possible to use your own insurance related to your Credit Card but they do insist that you have something in writing from the card company stating that you are covered in Ireland.
Client
OK, clear. No I would like to purchase online or at the desk on arrival.
Agent
If you make a search on this website next to each car photo is a link called IMPORTANT INFORMATION and then press the link INSURANCE. Here it usually says what the Insurance options will be.
Agent
So it's not really an issue you can either do it online in advance if it's offered or at the desk where are you will have a couple of options
