Cork best rent-a-car offers
Bookingauto (Cork) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Cork can always collect them from the most suitable place.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Cork on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Mercedes C cabrio from us, starting at €100 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Cork. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Mercedes Viano might be best - from €77 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like Mercedes E for €41 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Focus for just €14 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

Price changes Cork depending on the season
During the high season in summer, car rental in Cork costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Audi A4 popular in Cork costs €26 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €12 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Mercedes C cabrio is offered at €100 per day.
Among budget models, the most demanded in Cork is the Ford Focus. The sixt company rents it out for €14 per day.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a Mercedes E will cost about €41 per day.
The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a Kia Sportage very cheaply in the autumn for just €32 per day.
It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a Mercedes S-class coupe, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.

Answers to popular questions about car rental in Cork
Answer: The cost of renting a car in Cork is usually made up of unlimited mileage, car damage insurance (CDW), and VAT. Some additional services that can be added are insurance against theft, inclusion of a child seat, and admission for a second driver to use the car. As a rule, the client picks up the car with a full tank of fuel. You must fill it up on its return. In the rental conditions of the selected car, you can find a full list of services that are included in the rental price. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read all of the important information before booking.
Answer: You can pick up a car in Cork and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this. When booking, find the option "Return in another location" in the search form and indicate the city in which you will return the car. However, this option is not available for all cars. The system will return eligible options to you in the search results. The indicated rental price in this case already includes an additional fee for returning the car in another city. In some circumstances, the need to return a car in another city may arise after the lease has been issued, i.e. during the use of the vehicle. In this case, you need to call the rental company directly at the phone number indicated on the voucher to come to an agreement and discuss the terms of the surcharge.
Answer: Most people in Cork rent cars that fall under the category of Compact and Mini. In terms of models, the most popular ones are Ford Focus and Citroen C1. To choose a rental car that will meet your expectations as much as possible, take your time with making a decision. Compare the characteristics of the chosen car with your requirements and imagine how comfortable the trip will be in it. If you have a lot of luggage, make note of the volume of the boot; if you want a car with a fuel-saving function, this also needs to be considered, etc.
Answer: For almost any location in Cork, you can find a car rental office on our website. Click on the "Rent a car near me" icon in the search form. The system will automatically determine your coordinates and suggest a number of available cars, starting with the ones closest to your location. However, check the exact address of the rental office before booking to ensure that the coordinates are accurate.
Answer: The most budget-friendly car rental options are offered by Budget, Last minute rent a car, and Thrifty. You should know, though, that well-known network companies often hold promotional offers, where the discount can be up to 70% off. What’s more, you won’t have to compromise on the quality of service! To choose the most attractive offer, take your time and compare the prices of the cars offered by different rental companies. This will help you to choose a car with suitable characteristics and rent it on the best terms.
