Methods of Payment
For Security reasons, Internet reservations / bookings can only be made with the following Credit Cards. Irish Car Rentals accepts the following cards:-
- MasterCard
- Visa
- American Express
- Diners Club
Unfortunately Irish Car Rentals cannot accept Debit Cards for internet bookings.
When clients arrived to pick up their vehicle they must be in possession of and present to Irish Car Rentals a major credit card held in the main drivers name. This credit card must have sufficient funds to cover the cost of the vehicle, a petrol deposit and the rental excess amount. Unfortunately Irish Car Rentals CANNOT ACCEPT CASH as a method of payment.We also regret we CANNOT accept the credit card of a third party who will not be present at the time of the rental.
