The members of the Car Rental Council of Ireland do not apply an upper age limit to their customers. We are aware of some brokers and third-party websites selling car rental that refuse over 75s, but car rental companies have no control over these sites or their policies. 

So, if you are over 75 and wish to rent a car in Ireland, check out the members of the Car Rental Council of Ireland listed at the Rent Direct from a Member section.

While the exact requirements will vary, some car rental companies may require additional information from older drivers intending to rent a car. This is at the insistence of their insurers and is consistent with the approach of the State, which insists that “A medical report form is required when applying for a driving licence or learner permit where the driver is aged 75 years and over”.
