Frequently asked questions

Can I book now and pay later for my car rental in Ireland?
Expedia enjoys putting more of the world within your reach, that's why you can reserve your rental car without paying in advance. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you can just present a valid credit card to pay the cost in full at the pickup spot. It's as easy as that! The car rental company will also put a hold on your credit card for the security deposit. For some cheaper deals, you may have to pay at the time of booking. Take note of which payment options are available for your choice of rental car.
What happens if I need to cancel my Ireland car reservation?
There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we provide a full refund on most reservations if you advise us a minimum of six hours prior to collecting the car. Be sure to double-check the rental policy --- there are some cases where it's not offered. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
