To Visit Ireland What Travel Documents do I need?

If you are an Irish or EU citizen the EU drivers license and travel documents are accepted. If you are from outside the EU are a you will need a valid Passport with a visa (https://www.dfa.ie/travel/visas/visas-for-ireland/) for entry to Ireland which is an EU Country. For car hire a full driver’s license will need to be presented to the car hire company.

If you wish to drive a mini-bus with 8 or more passengers the Department of Transport in Ireland directly. You have to prove to them that your permits are acceptable in Ireland. We strongly recommend getting transport with a driver for more that 8 people.

Please contact for advice If you are under 25 years or over 70years of age the car hire company has particular conditions and other documents you need to provide when collecting the reserved hire car. The restrictions include the car size and power level you can rent.
