Third Party Cookies

Data Collected by Google Analytics

First party cookies

Google Analytics collects first-party cookies, data related to the device/browser, IP address and on-site/app activities to measure and report statistics about user interactions on the websites and/or apps that use Google Analytics. We may customize cookies and the data collected with features like cookie settings, User-ID, Data Import, and Measurement Protocol. If we have enabled the analytics.js or gtag.js collection method can control whether or not they use cookies to store a pseudonymous or random client identifier. If we decide to set a cookie, the information stored in the local first-party cookie is reduced to a random identifier (e.g., 12345.67890).

Advertising identifiers

Ad we use Google Analytics Advertising Features, Google advertising cookies are collected and used to enable features like Remarketing on the Google Display Network. These features are subject to the users’ Ads Settings, the Policy requirements for Google Analytics Advertising Features and Google’s EU User Consent policy, which requires us to obtain consent for cookies where legally required—including consent for personalized ads. For more information about how Google uses advertising cookies, visit the Google Advertising Privacy FAQ. It is possible to implement Google Analytics without affecting normal data collection where Advertising features are disabled until consent is obtained, as well as prevent certain data from being used for advertising personalization purposes.

IP Address

Google Analytics uses IP addresses to derive the geolocation of a visitor, and to protect the service and provide security to our customers. Customers may apply IP masking so that Google Analytics uses only a portion of an IP address collected, rather than the entire address. In addition, customers can override IPs at will using our IP Override feature.

Frequently asked questions

You will need your licence and a payment card for booking your rental online and for signing the rental agreement at the pick up desk.

We cannot accept any temporary licences, certificates or letters stating the driver has a licence if it is not present on collection. All drivers must have their physical licence present on arrival for a vehicle to be released.

At the commencement of rental, drivers must meet the requirement for licence eligibility. If the number of years is 8, this does not mean that the driver must have held their licence for 8 years - it means they must have been eligible to hold their licence for 8 years.

At the time of pick up, the person renting the car must be present to sign the rental agreement and provide their debit or credit card.

Additional drivers must be present at time of pick up and must fulfil the same age/licence criteria as the principal driver.

Bookings made through Irishcarrentals.com can be amended on Manage Bookings.
