KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cork

  • No trip to Cork is complete without a road trip. With a rental car, travelers can see for themselves the beauty of the Irish landscape. Cork is conveniently located near a number of stunning attractions that all an easy drive from the city. For instance, Blarney Castle is just 6.2 miles from the city center, and Rock of Cashel is 59 miles away.
  • Excited to pick up your rental car and get your vacation in Cork started? For travelers landing at Cork Airport, you will find all of the rental car offices located in the airport’s Arrivals Hall.
  • One tip to keep in mind when driving in Cork is that you must yield to the car on the right. This may be confusing at first, especially for drivers not used to driving on the left side of the road. You will adjust soon enough, though -- just make sure to look both ways and keep an eye on the other cars on the road.
  • Drivers in cork can expect to experience rush hour traffic in the morning from 6:30 a.m. up until 9:30 a.m. Rush hour picks up again in the afternoon from 3:30 p.m. until around 6:30 p.m. In terms of congestion, the South Ring Road and the M8 Highway experience some of the highest levels of traffic during peak hours and therefore are worth avoiding during rush hour.
  • Book your rental car in Cork at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Cork are around 87% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Cork

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cork?

    For the most part, drivers will find mid-sized and smaller cars such as sedans, SUVs, and compacts are perfectly suited for hitting the road in Cork. This is because, in general, the roads and parking spaces are fairly large in the city. However, it should be noted that some of the older streets and alleys in Cork will be slightly on the narrower side so it may be worth renting a smaller car.

    If you are in the central business district, then parking garages and lots are the go-to option.

Agent in Cork was very friendly with lots of info on things in the area. Car was a bit small for 4 adults and luggage but it worked. Only thing I didn’t like was the insurance thing. When I booked Kayak indicated we needed insurance so I bought some from their partner since none of our credit cards cover Ireland car rentals. But at the agency we were told what we bought wasn’t enough and had to buy more from them. Feel like I got ripped off.

Everything was perfect. Easy pickup and drop off and car was clean and drive seamlessly. Price was an extra bonus considering how expensive rentals can be.

On return - after a short rental I was fully charged the excess for 1 item that there was no way I would have checked when assessing damage the black wall above the wheel was missing - I would never have thought to look there and 100% certain it did not fall off when I was driving. I feel it is a scam and a rip off. Will never rent from them again and will not recommend them to anyone I know.
