What's the min age for Irish car rental?

Pikasso · 2009-03-11 20:59:18

I have some young friends coming over from Oz on hols this summer and they've asked me if they would be able to rent a car in Ireland? What's the minimum age for car rental in Ireland? - this chap is 20 yrs old. I managed to find one site stating that you have to be at least 25 but other sites are not that clear. Anyone…

I'm not sure, but I think Enterprise may entertain 21 year olds. AFAIK, with most car rental agencies, you must have held a full license for two years.
