    i take it that because your from the west you want to hire it in the west?

    You would need to check up with each rental agency have a location in say galway or mayo, in fact very few do, whereas all of the compnies would have a location at Shannon airport, would that be close enough for you, you need to check this out before booking anything.

    As for insurance all rates quoted should always include 3rd party insurance unless you specifically ask for an exclusive rate, excluding any insurance, again you need to check with each individual company to see what the rate quoted includes

    Ask about any other mandatory extras, if you are collecting from an airport location an airport service fee usually applies, etc

    A Bit more about the insurance, with the 3rd party you are left with an excess on the car which can range from €400-€1500 depending on the size/type of car and the company generally you will be offered an option to take full cover on the car,reducing your excess to 0, thus leaving you with zero liability.

    This option can cost you between €7-17 per day again depending on car and company and what is already included in your rate.

    Some rates do not have TP(theft Protection) included in the rate and without this you would be liable for the full value of the car if it were stolen


    There are lots of other things to consider aswell these are just some but ring around and find out exactly what is included in the rate and what will be added on etc etc
