Senior Citizens

The island of Ireland widely recognises concessions. Men and women over the age of 60 are recognised as being senior citizens or old age pensioners (OAPs) and enjoy a variety of discounts and privileges. 

Car rental age requirements and restrictions 

Most of the major car rental companies have desks at airports, ferry terminals and cities across Ireland. Generally, these companies do not rent cars to drivers over 70. It is advisable to book in advance, especially if you are travelling during the high season, as it is generally cheaper.

For insurance reasons you should advise the car rental company if you intend travelling between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
