Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions for travelers from Malaysia renting a car in Ireland

Can I legally rent and drive a car in Ireland with a Malaysian driving license?

Yes. As long as your Malaysian driving license is valid, in English, and you are visiting Ireland for less than 12 months, you can legally rent and drive. Make sure your license is valid throughout your rental period.

Is it necessary to get an International Driving Permit (IDP)? Where can I apply for one?

While a full English Malaysian license is legally accepted, it is strongly recommended to obtain an IDP. Some rental staff may not be familiar with Malaysian licenses, and the IDP serves as an official translation. You can get it at any JPJ office in Malaysia, usually on the spot.

Are there age restrictions for renting a car in Ireland?

Yes. The standard rental age is 25 to 75 years old. Drivers within this range usually face no extra fees or restrictions.

Can I rent a car in Ireland if I am under 25 years old?

Yes, but it is more costly and restrictive. Most companies accept drivers from 21 years old, but those aged 21-24 will pay a significant Young Driver Surcharge (€25-€40 per day) and may only rent smaller cars.

Are there special requirements for drivers over 75?

Yes. Drivers aged 75 or older typically need to provide a recent medical certificate (proving fitness to drive) and a letter from their insurer confirming a good driving record in the last five years. Always check policies with your rental company before booking.

Is a credit card mandatory for renting a car? Does it have to be in the main driver’s name?

Yes, absolutely. The main driver must have a physical credit card in their name to pay for the rental and deposit. Debit cards, prepaid cards, or cards in someone else’s name are not accepted.

Why don’t rental companies accept debit cards?

Rental deposits are usually high (€1500-€5000), and credit cards can provide a pre-authorization (freeze), not an actual charge. Debit cards may not support such large holds, so they are not accepted.

How much credit limit should my credit card have for car rental in Ireland?

It’s recommended to have at least €3,000 available. If you don’t buy the rental company’s Super CDW, they’ll freeze an amount equal to the excess, typically €1500-€5000, plus you need room for other travel expenses.

How do I add extra drivers to my rental agreement? What are the requirements?

You can add extra drivers during booking or at the counter. They must be present and provide the same documents as the main driver: valid passport, English driving license (and IDP), and meet age requirements. There’s usually an extra daily fee (€10-€15/day).

Which documents should I prepare for car pick-up?

You need: 1) main and extra driver’s passports, 2) valid English driving licenses, 3) IDP (strongly recommended), 4) main driver’s credit card, 5) your booking confirmation.

When is the best time to book a rental car in Ireland?

The earlier, the better—especially for peak season (June-September) or holidays. Booking 2-3 months in advance gets you better prices and more vehicle options, especially for automatics.

Which platform should I use to book my rental car?

We strongly recommend QEEQ. It offers global price comparisons, a Chinese interface and support, and clear, cost-effective insurance packages.

Is there a big price difference between manual and automatic cars? Which should I choose?

Yes, automatics are much more expensive (30-50% higher) and in limited supply. If you’re comfortable with manual, you’ll save significantly. If not, book an automatic as early as possible.

What car size is suitable for Ireland’s road conditions?

Choose smaller cars. Many Irish rural roads are very narrow. A compact car (e.g. VW Golf) or small SUV is ideal—easy to drive and park, but with enough space for luggage.

What does CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) cover? Is it enough?

CDW is not true insurance, but a waiver that limits your liability to a fixed excess (usually €1500-€3000) in case of damage. It’s not enough, as you’ll still be responsible for that excess.

What is an 'excess' (or deductible)?

The excess is the maximum amount you pay out-of-pocket if the car is damaged. For example, if your excess is €2000 and damage costs €3500, you pay €2000 and the insurer pays the rest. If damage is €500, you pay all €500.

What is Super CDW? Should I buy it?

Super CDW is extra insurance from the rental company that reduces your excess to zero or a very low amount. It’s convenient but expensive (€25-€40/day). Buy if you want maximum convenience and minimal risk.

What is the 'full coverage' offered by QEEQ?

QEEQ’s full coverage is third-party excess reimbursement insurance. If you have to pay an excess due to damage, you can claim a refund from QEEQ’s insurance partner after submitting documents. It’s much cheaper than Super CDW, but you must pay upfront and claim later.

Should I choose Super CDW from the rental company or full coverage from QEEQ?

Choose Super CDW for convenience and no hassle, but it’s expensive. QEEQ’s full coverage is more affordable, but you must pay any excess first and claim reimbursement. Ensure your credit card can cover the deposit.

If I bought full coverage from QEEQ, how do I politely decline extra insurance at the counter?

Say: 'Thank you for the offer, but I have already purchased my own comprehensive excess cover and I am comfortable with the standard deposit. I will decline the additional insurance.'

Can I drive into Northern Ireland (e.g., Belfast) with a rental car?

Usually yes, but tell the rental company at booking or pick-up. A cross-border fee (€30-€40) may apply to ensure insurance covers you in Northern Ireland (UK).

Is it necessary to rent a GPS device from the car rental company?

Not recommended. Rental GPS units are outdated and expensive (€10-€20/day). Use Google Maps or Waze on your phone. Buy a local Irish SIM or use international roaming data.

What are the child seat laws in Ireland?

Children under 150cm or under 12 years must use a suitable child seat or booster. You can rent one from the rental company or bring your own if it meets EU standards.

What is a one-way rental fee?

If you pick up the car at one location and drop it at another, the company charges a one-way fee (€50-€150) to cover return logistics. This fee will be shown when booking.

What does the basic CDW usually NOT cover?

Standard CDW usually excludes tires, wheels, glass, roof, undercarriage, lost keys, and misfuelling. Super CDW or QEEQ’s full insurance often covers these.

What documents do I need to present when picking up the car at the airport?

Bring original copies of: 1) main driver’s passport, 2) valid English license, 3) credit card (with enough limit), 4) booking confirmation, 5) (recommended) IDP, 6) same documents for any additional drivers.

Are rental counters and parking lots close at Dublin Airport?

Some companies have counters in T1/T2 terminals; after paperwork, take a shuttle bus to the car lot. Others are off-airport and require shuttle bus transfer. Follow 'Car Rental' signs in the airport.

What is a credit card pre-authorization (deposit)? How much is it?

A pre-authorization is a hold on your credit card to cover potential damage/excess or fines. With Super CDW, the deposit is low (€100-€300); with third-party insurance (like QEEQ), it’s the full excess (€1500-€3000).

What is the most important step before driving away with the rental car?

Thoroughly inspect the car inside and out, take photos and videos of all scratches, dents, and damage. Get all issues marked on the rental agreement.

How should I record the car’s condition?

Take high-resolution photos and videos of all exterior panels, wheels, bumpers, mirrors, windshield, and the interior. Note any damage on the paperwork and have it acknowledged by the staff.

What is the 'Full to Full' fuel policy?

You pick up the car with a full tank and must return it full. If not, you’ll be charged for fuel plus a service fee at a premium rate.

Are there other fuel policies besides 'Full to Full'?

Yes—'Full to Empty' means you prepay for a full tank and return the car empty. Only economical if you’ll use the whole tank; generally not recommended.

What if my flight is delayed and I miss my car pick-up time?

Most companies offer a 1-2 hour grace period. If you expect a longer delay, contact QEEQ or the rental office directly. If you provided your flight number, they often monitor your arrival.

Where can I find the emergency roadside assistance phone number for the rental car?

It’s usually on a sticker on the windshield, sun visor, or keyring, or in your rental documents. Confirm and take a photo when you pick up the car.

What should I do if I feel I’m being unfairly charged or downgraded at pick-up?

Stay calm and assertive. Reiterate your insurance coverage or request a refund for a lower-class car. If unresolved, contact QEEQ’s 24-hour Chinese customer service for help.

What are the main differences between driving in Ireland and Malaysia?

Both use right-hand drive, but Irish rural roads are very narrow, roundabouts are common, and speed units differ: Ireland uses km/h, Northern Ireland uses mph. Road etiquette and priority rules are strictly observed.

What are the typical speed limits in Ireland?

Motorways: 120 km/h. National Roads: 100 km/h. Regional Roads: 80 km/h. Urban areas: 50 km/h (sometimes 30 km/h near schools). Signs are clear—watch for changes.

How do I drive through Irish roundabouts correctly?

Always yield to traffic coming from your right (already in the roundabout). Signal left for the first exit, right for the third exit, and no signal for straight ahead. Slow down, watch right, and go when safe.

Any tips for driving on narrow rural roads?

Drive slowly, look ahead to anticipate oncoming cars, use passing places, be ready to reverse if needed, and always thank other drivers who give way—it’s local courtesy.

How can I avoid misfuelling (petrol vs diesel)? What if I make a mistake?

Check your rental documents and the fuel cap for the required type. Petrol (green nozzle), diesel (black nozzle). If you misfuel, do NOT start the engine—call the rental’s emergency line immediately. Misfuelling is expensive and rarely covered by insurance.

How do I pay tolls on the M50 motorway in Dublin?

The M50 uses electronic tolling (eFlow). After passing, pay by 8 pm the next day: 1) online at eflow.ie using your license plate, or 2) at Payzone stores. Don’t forget or you’ll face fines.

How are tolls handled on other Irish motorways?

Other toll roads have traditional plazas. You can pay by coins, cash, or sometimes credit card. Have coins ready (€1-€3 per toll).

What are the rules for parking in Irish towns? How do I pay?

Check signage. Most towns use 'Pay and Display'—buy a ticket from a meter, display it on your dashboard. Some use parking discs. Single yellow lines mean no parking at specific times; double yellow—no parking anytime.

If I have a minor accident, what should I do?

Ensure everyone’s safety, move to a safe spot, do not admit fault. Exchange names, addresses, phone numbers, license plates, and insurance info with the other party. Take photos of both cars and the scene. Call the rental’s emergency line for guidance.

How strict are Ireland’s drink-driving laws?

Extremely strict. The legal limit is low—one drink may exceed it. For safety, never drink and drive. Penalties are severe.

What’s the process for returning a rental car?

Follow 'Car Rental Return' signs to the drop-off area. Park in the rental company’s zone, remove all belongings, lock the car, and hand over the keys and paperwork at the office.

Should I have a staff member inspect the car with me when returning it?

Strongly recommended. Ask for a joint inspection and get written confirmation if there’s no new damage. If returning off-hours, your check-in photos are your best protection.

Any tips for refueling before returning the car?

Refuel within 5-10 km of the return point, top up until the pump clicks, and keep the receipt. This helps resolve any fuel disputes.

How long does it take for the credit card deposit to be released after returning the car?

Usually 5-15 business days after the rental company confirms no damage or fines. Your credit limit is restored and the hold disappears from your statement.

What should I do if I see an unexpected charge from the rental company weeks after returning the car?

Contact the rental company for a detailed invoice. The charge may be for late-reported fines or alleged new damage. If it’s damage, send all documents and your photos to QEEQ’s insurance claims department for review and possible refund.
