In the driving seat since 1984
Irish Car Rentals was established in 1984 in Dublin as a family business, and we've covered a lot of mileage in the decades since. We continue to evolve but our dedication to customer service has never stalled on us.
In 2010 we were acquired by Europcar Mobility Group but we maintained that family ethos while embracing modern expansion. We are a close team of committed professionals who provide an easy, secure and hassle-free way to book rental cars in Ireland. We have a fleet of thousands of vehicles nationwide, and each one has a job to do — helping our customers see everything that Ireland has to offer.
