The widest choices in Cork Airport Car Hire!

Find the best car hire in Cork Airport Bringing you the widest choice in Cork Airport car hire offers does mean you have decisions to make. To make your life easier we have listed below some of choices you have!

Best Cork Airport Car Hire Stations - At most airports there are a range of car rental options. Most convenient are in-terminal desks, but often companies also offer car rental from either out of terminal or off airport sites, which can require a bus to get to. If it's important to you, do read the individual offers from companies and watch out for where in Cork Airport the rental station is situated. Although most are situated in the arrivals hall, it is worth double checking!
With excess insurance or not - many car hire firms include Collision Damage Waiver packages which still leave you liable for a sizeable 'excess' payment if your car is damaged whilst in your care. And pretty much every firm leaves you with the responsibility for damage to glass (including lights and mirrors), wheels and tyres, roof and underbody. We offer a wide range of excess insurance protection policies, which also cover the exclusions above so you can be fully covered for just a few pounds, meaning you will not be left out of pocket!
Fuel Rules - Companies can include one of three 'fuel' policies - Full to Full, meaning the car will be full when you pick it up and you should fill it up before returning it. 'Empty to Empty' - the car will only have minimal fuel on arrival, and you should return it empty, or Full to Empty which means the car will be full on pick up but you should return it empty. Probably not an issue if you are in Cork for some time but if you are only renting your car for a few days you may wish to avoid companies who have this approach. The 'rules' are normally detailed on the car rental firms website, especially if they are not 'Full to Full'.
Mileage limitations - most Cork Airport car rental deals offer unlimited mileage but not all - so, if you are planning on doing a lot of driving, make sure the deal you are looking covers your requirements adequately
Consider your 'optional' extras - your Cork Airport car hire firm will be happy to supply child seats, insurance, personal accident insurance, sat nav and more - but do read our 'Cutting the cost of Car Hire Extras' article on ways to avoid these charges! And if you have any queries, questions, problems or issues don't forget we have a fantastic team ready to look after you.
