What happens if I damage your vehicle?
All hire companies charge outrageous repair prices.
Some do, we do not. Vehicle repair is not a cheap industry. Think back to any time you needed to get some paintwork done on your car.Automotive paint alone can cost well over €100 Euro per liter and labor rates in spray shops typically are in the region of €65 Euro per hour.
If a customer wishes to get an independate assesment of a repair estimate, he is welcome to organise an independant assesor to inspect the vehicle and determine the cost of repair. The vehicle will remain on hire to the customer to facilitate the independant inspection process and alternate SIMI approved repairer they wish to use.
I am resident in a different country and am travelling to Ireland, Can I rent a vehicle?
Yes you can, the deposit process is different though. Non resident renters need to leave a €1500 euro security deposit at the start of rental.
