In addition to the General Terms & Conditions, these are the specifics for your chosen location :

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THIS LOCATION:
Excluded from the insurance is the use of the vehicle for the transport of dangerous goods. All insurance cover as part of the rental contract will become void, in particular, if an unauthorized driver has used the vehicle or if the driver of the vehicle does not possess the required driver's licence at the time of the event giving rise to claim.
Any use of the vehicle in a dangerous manner or illegal purpose or when it is damaged or unsafe is prohibited.
Baby seats are forward facing and are suitable for children from 9 to 18Kg. Booster seats are also available at the same cost and are suitable for children up to 6 years. The law in Ireland states that an appropriate child restraint MUST be used. We cannot provide baby seats for infants less than 9Kg. New EU child safety protection laws have come into force making it compulsory for all children to travel in the correct child seat, booster seat or booster cushion. Where safety belts have been fitted they must be worn. Children under 3 years of age must not travel in a car unless restrained in the correct child seat. Children aged 3 years or over who are under 150cms in height and weighing less than 36 kilograms (i.e. generally children up to 11/12 years old) must use the correct child seat, booster seat or booster cushion when travelling in cars. Child car seats must be in accordance with EU or United Nations - Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) standards. Drivers have a legal responsibility to ensure passengers aged under 17 use the correct seat, booster seat, booster cushion or seatbelt.

Please note that all local payments will be made in Euro.
