What types of cars can I rent in Shannon?
Good for short trips and slipping into tight parking spots, minis are the most booked car type in Shannon. With excellent fuel economy, you'll save on gas as you drive around the city's iconic sights. These spirited little rides aren't the only options available though. Luxury, standard, compact ... You name it, chances are we've got it.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Shannon with Expedia?
Score the best deal with Expedia. Simply choose your ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from popular brands. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Shannon car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shannon?
Drivers 21 and above can get on the road in Shannon in a rental vehicle. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Shannon?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
Can I drive in Shannon with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can, but if you like playing it safe, apply for an International Driving Permit to carry alongside your U.S. License. The permit features your name, driver's information and photo and is helpful as an additional identity document.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Shannon?
Whether you have plans to stop in Shannon or explore what's beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you cheap long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Shannon car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find a Shannon outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? That's great! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Shannon?
For a safe, stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also offers 24-hour emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Shannon ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
