10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Westport

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, use the filters on Expedia to help you discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's wise to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded locations. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just be sure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to rent a car.

Check out customer ratings and reviews, choose your favourite ride and compare offers from top providers. Expedia makes it easy to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Westport car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive off with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Westport?
Westport requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Westport?
Generally, all that's required is a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules may differ between providers, so it's always a good idea to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Westport?
In Westport, as with all of Ireland, you drive on the left side of the road. Slow down and get comfortable driving on the opposite side if it's your first time.
What is the cheapest car rental in Westport?
Westport has had some very happy car renters lately. Daily rates within the past seven days dropped as low as CA $78 and CA $89. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Westport?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your vacation. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Westport car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Westport supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Awesome! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
