Available payment methods

For seamless payment of your booking, we accept a range of credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, and American Express. Important Notice: When collecting your hired car, please be prepared to present a credit card as debit cards may not be accepted for such transactions. It's always best to consult the 'Payment Methods' section for detailed instructions well before your pick-up date.

Deposit and credit card information

Occasionally, a rental provider may specify that a credit card is necessary to secure a booking. If you find yourself without one, a quick check of your debit card at www.bindb.com could provide a solution. Intriguingly, some debit cards are cloaked as credit cards with a nominal limit, essentially allowing them to be used where credit cards are requested. Verify if your card has such features, as it could very well be your ticket to fulfilling the provider's requirements.

Cover terms and conditions. Size of the franchise. Security deposit

When renting a car in Ireland, understanding the ins and outs of car rental insurance and the deposit requirements is crucial. Ireland has specific regulations and practices that might differ from what you're accustomed to.

Car Rental Insurance: In Ireland, the insurance coverage included by default with car rentals often comprises basic third-party liability. However, you might want to consider additional insurance options such as Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection (TP) for more comprehensive coverage. It's important to note that some credit cards offer rental insurance, but you should confirm their validity in Ireland before relying on them.

Deposit: A deposit is typically required when renting a car in Ireland. This deposit, which can be a significant amount, is used to cover any potential damages or additional charges not covered by insurance. The exact amount can vary depending on the rental company and the vehicle's model but expect it to be momentarily blocked on your credit card rather than withdrawn.

Speed limitations

In Ireland, speed limits are crucial for road safety and vary depending on the type of road and area. It's important for drivers to adhere to these limits to ensure both their safety and that of others.

Special zones, such as near schools, may have lower speed limits to ensure the safety of children. Always look out for speed limit signs, as they indicate the maximum speed allowed and may change due to road conditions or work zones. Remember, adhering to speed limits is not just a legal requirement but a responsibility towards everyone's safety on the road.

Traffic violation fines

In Ireland, the management of traffic and enforcement of road safety measures are vital for the well-being of its citizens. The Irish government has implemented a range of sanctions in the form of traffic violation fines to discourage dangerous driving behaviors and enhance road safety. Notably, these fines vary depending on the severity and nature of the violation.

These fines serve as a deterrent, intending to instill responsible driving habits among motorists and ensure the safety of all road users.
