Cheap Dublin Airport car hire deals

A strike involving over ten thousand electricians has been taking place in Dublin today after talks last week failed to secure an agreement. Supply of Electricity will not be affected in city or country areas.

The workers are looking for an eleven percent increase which they say is owed to them from an agreement made during the countries boom time.  Many believe the demands to be unrealistic given the current state of Ireland’s economy. The construction industry has been among the worst hit in the last year.

A picket is currently taking place on the terminal two building site at Dublin Airport as well as other well known locations such as Lansdowne Road where the new soccer stadium is being built.

The strike is being supported by SIPTU with spokesman Jack O’Connor saying that the electricians should be supported by regular workers.

1) Use a car hire cost comparison service which will save you time and money.
2) Consider space – How many passengers? How much luggage? Any extras?
3) Consider the car hire type you need – Automatic or Manual? Two seater, five seater or people carrier? Engine power? Petrol or diesel?
4) Are there any extras you need to add to your car hire agreement? Baby seat? Additional driver? Roof rack?
5) Do you require added car hire excess insurance? This can be obtained very cheaply if added during the booking process.
6) At the risk of repeating ourselves BOOK IN ADVANCE! Sorry for shouting but this is vital when trying to obtain the best deals.
7) Don’t just go ahead and book because you are the driver. Ask your travel companions for their opinions as you may be forgetting something important.
8) If your dates are flexible then try book midweek when prices will be cheaper and availability higher.
9) Try hire a car at the airport rather than downtown as there will be longer opening hours in which to pick up your rental car.
10)  Carefully read your booking confirmation email and bring all the required documents.
