Location information for Cork

Car hire in Cork

Cork may well be the new cultural heart of Ireland, rivaling big sister Dublin. With its buzzing persona, up-and-coming art scene and gastronomic delights aplenty, Cork is a destination you do not want to leave off your ‘must-visit' list. See all that the 2005 City of Culture has to offer by driving among the charm of the old and the new. Witness 17th century alleys, traditional Irish pubs situated next to modern masterpieces, local music talents and flash restaurants before heading out of the city to the likes of Kinsale or Blarney. Compare cheap car hire in Cork with CompareCarHire.co.uk to make the most of your majestic getaway.

Why to visit

Cork's turbulent but interesting history is noticeable in the fabric of the city, making it an interesting place to visit. The locals are proud and welcoming, and the emergence of a modern side to Cork only compliments the city without taking away from its rugged roots. Explore Cork's evolution with a visit to the Vision Centre, which covers everything from the city's long history to its future development. As many of the attractions of Cork are outside the city, self-drive is the best option for reaching nearby places like Blarney.

Transport

Cork Airport is located just eight kilometers south of the city centre. There are taxis available on arrival at the airport and an adequate public transport system. But the most suitable means of transport is via Cork car hire, allowing you to zoom off to explore the surrounding areas of the grandiose city. Trains connect Dublin with Cork, whose small city centre is best traversed on foot.

What to see and do

With car rental in Cork, you can travel to the port where you can board a ferry to neighboring Llnacullin Island. This peaceful but popular tourist destination lies 40kms away from Cork and contains 15 hectares of gardens that are extremely impressive. Or go on a family day out to the fun-filled Fota Wildlife Park, just 15kms out of the city, or see a snapshot of Cork's history in a little piece of land off Cork Harbour, known as Spike Island.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is CompareCarHire.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
