The current world situation can sometimes have an impact on our vacations… Rising fuel prices, component shortages, difficult tourist recovery after two years of pandemic… Ireland has unfortunately not been spared, and today car rental prices are skyrocketing, reaching record budgets never seen before! Even if many travelers preferred to give up the idea of renting a car on the spot, others vied with each other to find the right, efficient and inexpensive way to criss-cross Ireland’s roads without breaking the bank! The solution of the moment: the Fleet app!
At the time of writing, the prohibitive rates charged by most car rental companies remain a major concern for tourists. Daily costs, coupled with insurance… not to mention soaring fuel prices, seem to literally eat away at travellers’ budgets, even deterring them from renting a car!
Fortunately, there are alternatives. In addition to public transport, there’s another solution on the market today: the Fleet! app.
It’s an app that lets you rent a car from a private individual. A large number of Irish people have signed up to the scheme, offering their cars for hire at much lower prices than professional agencies.
Fleet is a very serious application, with the advantage of being 100% Irish, and boasting an impressive catalog of participants.
The process is very simple: if you’re looking for a car to rent, simply download the Fleet application onto your smartphone, create your account, then choose the search zone for your future vehicle.
A list of available cars is then displayed, along with the daily rental price.
All you have to do is select an offer, ask the vehicle owner your questions, then close the deal!
Easy as pie!
The icing on the cake: Fleet has a rather strict policy on the vehicles that can be offered for rental. They must meet a number of conditions to ensure your safety. (the vehicle to be rented must not be more than 13 years old, and must have a valid roadworthiness test).
Most of the time, insurance for renting a car in Ireland is a real headache! But Fleet has simplified the process considerably!
By renting from the application, you will be covered by Fleet’s insurance. In this way, their insurance replaces the car owner’s private insurance policy.
The rental price is all-inclusive, including insurance! And the cost is usually much lower than that charged by a rental agency! No hidden costs: everything is clear!
It’s the perfect way to save money, simplify procedures and enjoy the Irish roads in total freedom!
Our only piece of advice is to set up a “checklist” when you take delivery of your vehicle, enabling you to inspect the car and its condition. Don’t hesitate to take photos: the vehicle must be returned in the same condition. Take the time to walk around the car, inspecting for scratches, tire wear, odometer reading and fuel type: this will avoid misunderstandings and allow you to set off with confidence!
