PRE 2024 Problems:

In the recent years wouldbe guests have been experiencing extreme cost problems in obtaining car hire 2022/2023.  So much so that was the main reason for cancellations with us at the hostel.

We have discussed this with many guests at the hostel with the following advice given:

Some more LATEST ADVICE September 2024……..  could be great news.  A French guest and computer expert stated the he hired a car for €17 per day!!!! through the  following:    His advice is the site to rent a cheap car is: rentalcars.com  https://www.rentatcars.com/

MORE  RECENT ADVICE September 2024 another guest used Booking.com/cars and was directed to Dollar car hire and paid €150 for 9 days hire of a small manual car.  Avoid automatic cars … much more expensive she said and watch the day charges .. even a one hour overlap and a whole day will be charged.

PREVIOUS 2024 problems:

In August 2022 Philip stated that he did the following: Prior to his holiday, months before, he kept scanning car hire firms for ‘Flexible’ rates and eventually a very good quote came up on the dates he required with a small SUV with the ‘Sixth Car Hire ‘  Company from Dublin Airport.

Other Guests quoted use ‘GO CAR’ or a new app entitled ‘FLEET’.  Some guests approached Irish friends/family and borrowed their spare car(s) after arranging insurance.  We also noticed that some single or twosomes were travelling in small van rentals

Some guests searched car hire from car dealers away from the airports.  The car dealers in the towns of Newry and Sligo were used.   Some dealers even met guests at airports with their car hire.

Tony mentioned Enterprise Van and Car Hire in Letterkennny and Michael recommended DMG Car and Van Hire in Donegal Town  See www.dmgmotors.ie  – Google these for more info.

Any other car hire advice we here at Sandrock Holiday Hostel can pass on to wouldbe guests is welcome.   See at the top of above for some latest 2024 advice.
