Frequently Asked Questions About Car Hire in Shannon

 

Why do I need travel insurance when the car is already insured?

In most countries an 'excess' will apply in the event of an accident or theft of the vehicle. This is the renter's responsibility, however many travel insurance policies now have provision to cover you for car hire excess up to a specified amount. Therefore, if the excess was applied, you have the option to claim it back on your travel insurance policy. Find out more about our DriveAway Refundable Excess Rate for your next road trip.

Can I Hire A Car With Unlimited Mileage In Dublin?

Yes, most car hire suppliers have unlimited mileage rentals. However, travellers should be aware that some suppliers will impose mileage restrictions on specific car categories such as luxury and SUV hires.

When is the best time to visit Shannon?
