Anyone who is flying into Ireland for the first time will be excited about visiting the old country. However they may be apprehensive about driving a stick car on the opposite side of the road they are used to driving in. A good tip would be to try and practice perhaps in an empty shopping mall about driving on the left hand side of the road. Another good tip is to try and purchase a guide to travelling in your new country before you set so you are at least familiar with some sign posts.
Anyone renting a car in the UK and Ireland will have an excess to pay for the rental vehicle. This is a deposit which is held on your card until the car is returned undamaged . The branch staff will be able to help you select a product which will help you lower the excess. There are a number of different policies which drivers can buy at the branch or before they arrive. This is referred to as CDW which is short for collision damage waiver or deductible .
In America credit card companies often cover the CDW for their card holders on their cards which is normally automatically included in the card terms. Drivers are aware of this and do not take out polices to cover damage. As the rental will be in Ireland drivers are asked to check with their card holders about this cover before they leave home so they know the lay of the land before they take off and can take appropriate actions.
Renting a car in Derry be sure to take along your driving license, passport and credit card as part of you ID when collecting your vehicle. Before travelling you are best to book your car hire because you will know the price involved before you land and have no hidden surprises when you sign the rental contract.
Seatbelts are compulsory in Ireland for all drivers. Children are asked to use a seat until their 12th birthday or until they reach a certain height which is 135 cm.
Another rule which is breaking the law if not followed and that is the use of mobile phones which is prohibited while driving your vehicle. Another law is that the driver can not take drugs or drink alcohol while driving as both impact on the drivers' judgement when behind the wheel of a car.
