Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Dublin
- All of the branches offering Budget car hire in Dublin have similar fleets of vehicles that you can choose from. In Dublin, it's highly recommended that you choose an economy-sized car for inner city driving. Try to avoid the rush hours as much as you can. These are from 07:30 to 09:00 and again from around 16:00 to 18:30. The Liffey district gets especially gridlocked. It's also sound advice to avoid parking in on-street metered parking spaces, as this is expensive and wheel clamping is strictly enforced. Rather use a parkade.
- The roads in the city are wide and modern, so you'll have no trouble using any kind of Budget car hire in Dublin suburbs. However, counter-intuitively, the roads on the outskirts of the city are narrower, with the exception of the motorways connecting Dublin to other major towns and cities in Ireland. So you're advised to choose a smaller car if you intend to go sightseeing in the surrounding areas of the city, rather than hiring something like an MPV, which simply won't fit on the roads.
- To speed up the collection process when you arrive, especially if you've flown in and want to get out of the airport as soon as you can, use QuickPass when booking Budget car hire in Dublin. This is the brand's online platform where you can register and upload all the necessary documentation for hiring a car ahead of your arrival in Dublin. That way you won't have to go through the process at the collection desk at one of the central or airport agencies. Just show your photo ID and collect the keys.
- The advantages of choosing Budget for hiring a car in Dublin include that the company's branches are easy to get to and located in prominent locations in and around the city. Some of them, like the airport branch, have extended collection hours to make it easier to collect your car as soon as you land. The ones in the centre of town are near to the major transport hubs, in case you first need to take public transport to get to one of them.
- Economy rental cars from Budget in Dublin are around -34% cheaper than other car types, on average.
FAQs about renting a car from Budget in Dublin
Where is the best place to pick up my Budget hire car in Dublin?
You can collect your hire car at one of several Budget branches in Dublin. If you've flown in, there's a collection desk at Dublin Airport. It's in the Arrivals Hall and it's open from 05:00 till 23:59, seven days a week. The branch at 151 Lower Drumcondra Road, in the Drumcondra central district is open from 09:00 till 18:00, also daily.

What documents do I need to collect for my Budget hire car in Dublin?
The requirements for collecting your hire car at all the Budget collection agencies in the city are the same. You'll need to show your UK driver's licence, and if it was issued in England, Scotland or Wales, you'll also need your DVLA licence code. You may be asked to show a utility bill as proof of residence, so bring one along, just in case. Finally, you'll need a credit card as a means of payment, or to just show the one you used to book online if you did it that way.
What benefits does Budget offer in Dublin?
No matter whether you choose the Budget branch at Dublin Airport or one of those in the city centre, you'll enjoy the same high standards of vehicle maintenance and cleanliness.

This means a safer, more comfortable ride when you hire a car. You can choose the make and model of vehicle that you want – there aren't merely generic categories available.
