Those under 4 years of age must be in a child seat that’s facing forwards. If your child is under 6, then a booster seat is required. Whereas those younger than 12 will need to be on a booster cushion.
You will most likely be able to take your hire car over the border to Northern Ireland, but you should check with your agency before you do so. If you wish to get a ferry to a country such as England, then you will need written permission from the agency. Failure to get this will result in your insurance becoming invalid. Some hire cars have a mileage cap, which means you are limited to how far you can drive, so it’s worth checking this before you book.
You can pay for your County Mayo hire car using a credit card, with most major debit cards also being accepted. These cards must be in the name of the main driver. Other pre-paid cars or cash are not acceptable forms of payment. You will also need to leave a deposit, or have a hold on your account, to ensure you can cover the costs of any damage in the event of an accident.
