Car hire - simple, easy, and affordable prices

Bookingauto (Shannon airport) 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 Shannon airport 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 Shannon airport on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible BMW 4 Cabrio from us, starting at €189 per day and rented out by the popular company EUROPCAR in Shannon airport. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Opel Zafira might be best - from €45 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, SIXT recommends opting for a business class car like Jaguar XE for €78 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model VW Polo for just €23 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.

The dynamics of price changes depending on the season

The highest demand for car rental in Shannon airport occurs during the high tourist season - summer.

On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.

For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Toyota Corolla in Shannon airport is €25 per day.

In autumn, the same car costs about €13 per day.

Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a BMW 4 Cabrio is offered at €189 per day.

Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Shannon airport is the VW Polo. The rental price for such a car starts from €23 per day from EUROPCAR.

Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a Jaguar XE costs about €78 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 €31 per day.

It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a Audi R8, 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 Shannon airport

Question: What is included in the base rental price?

Answer: The car rental price in Shannon airport usually includes unlimited mileage, basic CDW insurance and local VAT. Before booking, you can get acquainted with the full list of services included in the rental price by reading the rental conditions of your chosen car.

Question: Is it possible to rent a car in one destination and return it in another city?

Answer: You can pick up a car in Shannon airport and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this.

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: The most popular cars in Shannon airport are ones that fit into the Compact and Standard categories, including the VW Polo and Toyota Corolla models. If you want to choose a car that exactly matches your needs, try making a short list of your expectations. Think about your passengers and how comfortable they’ll be while driving. Check the volume of the boot, as well as safety and fuel economy features if that’s important to you.

Answer: For almost any location in Shannon airport, you can find a car rental office on our website. Click on the "Rent a car near me" icon in the search form.
