    VISA works internationally. Mastercard too.
    So if the card is a visa then it should be fine. Does your bank account not have Visa?

    I never mentioned credit card.
    Most banks will do a visa debit card, jsut like a laser, except its useful.

    Might be easier to bring with you.

    Mellor, I think its only ulster bank and Permanent tsb that have the visa debit so far,(At least thats how it was when I left Ireland in July) Ireland as usual is behind the times,

    A pre paid visa or even a Visa debit can not be used with a majority or car hire companies, it has to be an actual credit card.

    I thought BoI or AIB did too? But you had to apply specifically.
    I'm not sure as it was back in '08

    Yeah, I forgot to mention that about car hire. Pre-pay or visa debit is basically cash. Cash is no good for car hire.
