In Ireland, most campervan rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. You may also need to have had your driver's license for a certain duration, typically between 2 to 5 years. Some vehicles may not be available to those under 25.
To find suitable options, simply input the driver's age in our search tool, and it will display vehicles you can rent.
A full driver's license is necessary and if you're a younger driver, extra insurance might be needed.
In Ireland, most land is privately owned, so you need permission from the landowner to camp there. While free camping is generally not allowed, some national parks do permit it. Remember to always clean up after yourself and follow local guidelines. Before you go, check online or visit an information center to learn about the rules in the area you want to explore.
Ireland has more than 100 campsites available with prices beginning at approximately €15 per night.
To rent a campervan in the Republic of Ireland, you must have a valid manual driver's license for at least 2 years. This license lets you drive a European category B vehicle with a weight limit of 3,500kg. If your license is from outside the UK, EEA, or Switzerland, you'll need an international driving permit.
Absolutely! Although Northern Ireland is part of the UK, many campervan rental suppliers have locations in both the UK and Ireland.
Traveling one-way is a popular choice, allowing you to explore more during your trip.
Keep in mind that extra fees for one-way rentals might apply. The Road Genius comparison tool will include these costs in your final price.
