I hired off them before Christmas for a weekend and I'm 24 and he didn't bat an eyelid. 08 ford focus, very nice car Point out every small dent/scratch when doing the pre-hire inspection though.

biko, just looked up your link there for dan dooley, an extra 160 for 2 days because i am under 23..:eek: man i nearly fell over.... time to look for a bicycle i think!!
and galkiefer, did u book with them over the internet or deal with them personally? i tried them on the internet and it said nothing about being the minimum age of 21, it states 23, and says there are no available cars when i change the age! snakes! are they easy to locate in ballybrit? im thinking just calling out to them would prob be a better way of trying to sort something.....
