Car hire - simple, easy, and affordable prices
We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Dublin, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Dublin and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
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 Dublin on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Ford Mustang from us, starting at €103 per day and rented out by the popular company EUROPCAR in Dublin. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Opel Zafira might be best - from €56 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, SIXT recommends opting for a business class car like Audi A6 for €41 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Fiesta for just €17 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

Average prices by car class in Dublin
Price changes Dublin depending on the season
During the high season in summer, car rental in Dublin costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Renault Talisman popular in Dublin costs €33 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €14 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.
In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a Ford Mustang will cost €103 per day for the duration of the vacation period.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Dublin is the Ford Fiesta. The rental price for such a car starts from €17 per day from EUROPCAR.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a Audi A6 costs about €41 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Ford Escape at this time can be rented for just €32 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Dublin, you can easily rent a BMW 8-series to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.

If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: All cancellations must be made in the “Manage My Booking” section and not directly through the car rental company itself.

A “no-show” can mean that:

● You failed to pick up your car in Dublin at the arranged time and date.
● You failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
