Embarking on an adventure through the enchanting city of Galway, Ireland, calls for the perfect set of wheels. Fortunately, you're spoilt for choice with numerous car rental companies peppered across the cityscape. Renowned names like Budget and Enterprise stand ready to match you with your ideal vehicle, boasting competitive rates to sweeten the deal. Just a gentle reminder: keep an eye on those mileage caps that might apply to your rental.
Security is paramount, so always ensure your car trunk is securely locked before stepping away. Neglecting this simple act doesn't just invite theft—it could inadvertently lead to an unfortunate car accident.
In the unfortunate event of a collision, it's crucial to contact the Gardai without delay to report the incident. Equally important is refueling your car with the correct type of fuel. Thankfully, most rental cars clearly mark whether they run on diesel or petrol. Remember, many insurance policies won't cover the mishap of filling up with the wrong fuel.
Arm yourself with knowledge by keeping copies of the rental agreement and reservation form at hand. Before you bid farewell to the rental agency, take a moment to inspect the car meticulously. Document any existing damage or dents with photos, and don't leave without a copy of the car's condition diagram in your possession.
With your car keys in hand, Galway becomes a gateway to the rustic beauty of Ireland's countryside. Meander through quaint towns and villages, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Gaelic culture, and perhaps even converse with some of the oldest Irish speakers. And let's not overlook the Aran Islands, nestled in the bay, awaiting your discovery. These small islands are a treasure trove of history and natural splendor, promising to be a highlight of your Irish escapade.
Galway, a city steeped in history and charm, offers a variety of parking solutions to cater to both locals and visitors alike. Among these, APCOA, in collaboration with the local authority, provides several convenient car parks, including:
With roots reaching back to the 12th century, Galway is not just a hub for motorists looking for a parking spot.

Whether you're here to soak in the rich tapestry of Galway's past or to explore its vibrant marine activities, finding an affordable place to park your car is a breeze. So, come and experience the allure of Galway without the worry of where to leave your vehicle.
Embarking on a family adventure or planning a special evening in Galway? The city's car rental services are ready to enhance your experience. Imagine the convenience of cruising with a GPS system to guide you or the comfort of your little ones secured in a booster seat. These are just a few of the thoughtful extras offered by Galway's car rental companies.

At the heart of Galway City, Budget Car Rental awaits you in the bustling Eyre Square, nestled beside the Great Southern Hotel and a stone's throw from the tourist office. As you step outside the office, your chosen vehicle will be conveniently parked and ready for your journey. Should you have any questions about the car's specifics or its availability, the friendly office staff are always on hand to assist. With your rental car, the wild and wonderful west of Ireland is yours to explore. Set off on a road trip to the enchanting Aran Islands, the rugged landscapes of County Mayo, the natural beauty of County Clare, or the breathtaking vistas of Connemara.
Traveling with a larger entourage? Space and comfort are key. Consider renting an MPV or a 7-seater family car to ensure everyone travels in style. The Ford Galaxy and Audi Q7 are among the popular choices that promise ample room for your family and luggage. And for those grand adventures with friends or extended family, a 9-seat minibus is the perfect companion, ensuring no one is left behind and the journey is just as memorable as the destination.
When you collect the car, it has a full tank, and you should return it full as well. Make sure to check that the tank is completely full before driving off. If you bring the car back with less than a full tank, the rental company will fill it up and charge you a service fee.
We have a variety of minivans and minibuses available, including the Mercedes Vito, Renault Trafic, and Peugeot Traveller. These 9-seater vehicles are popular among families and business travelers. To ensure availability, consider booking 1-2 months in advance.
You have the option to collect your car from one of our offices and drop it off at another location when your trip concludes. This convenient service enables you to tailor your travel plans without the need to backtrack.
Should you receive a fine while renting a vehicle, the rental company will notify you and include a minor administrative fee on your final rental bill.
