If you’re looking at car hire at Cork Airport, then you’ll find plenty of options for rental companies that can offer competitive rates. Renting a car is a popular choice with tourists especially with the accessibility of the airport from Cork city and surrounding areas such as Blarney Castle just north of the city, Ballycotton on the south coast and various other picturesque places along the coast. You can access major roads such as the N27 into Cork’s centre, which takes around 15min to drive, while the N22, N25, N28, N40 and N71 roads are all comfortable drives to surrounding towns, coastal and rural areas.
If you’re thinking of travelling around the southern coast of Ireland without any issues, then car hire at Cork Airport is the perfect way. In Cork and its surrounding areas, renting a car has several advantages over using public transport, especially as local transport links tend to become less frequent and less reliable away from the city. If you want to get away from the city and experience the stunning views that this area has to offer, then having a rental car is essential. It allows you the time to explore the region without having to wait for connecting buses or trains to more rural sites.
Cork Airport car hire is a very straightforward process. Once you’ve collected your luggage you will find all the various car hire companies in the arrivals area where all the desks are located. Once you’ve signed everything and been given the keys, your car will only be a short 3–5min walk away from the airport building. To help with a speedy service, make sure to book your car in advance of your flights through KAYAK; that way you’ll get a better price and you’ll be on your way much faster.
When renting a vehicle, be mindful that companies that offer car hire at Cork Airport may have different policies in place regarding the time the car needs to be returned. To make sure you avoid incurring any additional charges, remember to check the company policy prior to booking. You may find that some policies are more flexible than others, like that of Avis which has 24h drop-off service, while others such as Hertz, Budget and SIXT all require you to contact them directly to request an out-of-hours drop-off. Also keep in mind your company’s office hours, as each company differs from the other.

I had to pay about 140 euros separately, because despite taking out additional insurance, I had to leave an extra guarantee of 2,000 euros. Bad information. I never rent through the website again and my recommendations towards your service will be very bad.

Easirent does not have a kiosk at the airport and requires you to call them for a car pickup, which is difficult if you don’t have an Irish phone number (SIM cards aren’t available for sale at the Irish airport).The location of the actual car pick-up, once you get there, is less than desirable. The booking site also doesn’t state that you’re almost required to buy additional insurance when you buy the car AND you have to vacuum out the car yourself before returning it. Stick with a bigger name rental company, you’ll thank yourself later.

They didn't have the car I wanted when I showed up. No other options at the time. No communication between Kayak and the company. Ended up getting screwed by having to rent last min during the holidays.

On return - after a short rental I was fully charged the excess for 1 item that there was no way I would have checked when assessing damage the black wall above the wheel was missing - I would never have thought to look there and 100% certain it did not fall off when I was driving. I feel it is a scam and a rip off. Will never rent from them again and will not recommend them to anyone I know.

Beware, they will try every way possible to pressure you to take their CDW. Currently this involves requiring you to have written documents showing you have coverage (typically most credit cards provide this). Even then they have hidden this requirement in small print and if you have booked via a reseller like kayak, then it is further hidden via a very small link. Oh, they will pre-authorize your credit card or bank card for 5000 euros per rental. Yes, you read that correctly. 5000 euros. Customer service is grumpy and says it’s the customers issue or th “system” issue. Go elsewhere. Preferable not Ireland. Sorry.

Aug 2019

Pros:

The staff explained that the insurance was not part of the rental agreement and I would have to pay separately. This was not the fault of the car rental company and they remained helpful and professional in their dealings with me.

Cons:

The offer from Kayak did not include insurance, which I had to purchase at the desk and more than doubled the cost of the rental. This is a total rip off as the offer presented didn't stipulate this . Incidentally if I had hired directly from the car hire company it would have been much cheaper.

Arrived at desk and told insurance not included also that the extra hire insurance I had bought from AIG wouldn’t cover me either. The price then went up To include insurance over 100 extra. Also advise never to book on an American website. Be very aware. Buying on these sites and the insurance coverage. Won’t be using this site or dollar again.
