Senior renting car in Ireland
When feasible, my husband (age 75) and I prefer to drive about a country. Planning for a trip in May ’07, we discovered that many Irish rental agencies do not rent cars to anyone over 75, while with some the limit is 74 and some, 70.
I found Auto Europe (Portland, ME; 888/223-5555 or 207/842-2000, www.autoeurope.com) to be very helpful. I phoned them in March and was very glad I did. Their rep was very aware of the age restriction and he spent some time checking out various companies for us (they broker with several car agencies).
