<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLike most of the other countries in the world, you will require a license to operate a motor vehicle in the country of Ireland. the good news is that if you come from Canada or the USA your license is automatically valid in Ireland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re coming from any country other than the US, Canada or Europe you will require an International Driver’s Licence. You will also require a passport for identification purposes, and third party insurance to cover you in the event of any incidents or accidents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure that you have all the necessary documents from the rental car company and keep it in your vehicle. You will need to produce it should you be pulled over by the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15. Get Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n When your driving on some rural roads where you are passing an oncoming car on a road that looks like it was made for one car – you’re going to thank yourself that you have car insurance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some credit cards come with collision insurance coverage for your rental vehicle, but many do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So double-check with your credit card company to make sure your vehicle is insured. Also make sure to know what you are covered for exactly, some only cover damage to your vehicle, but do not cover for personal injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that is the case you may want to get additional coverage just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
