  • Head off to Dublin for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 161 kilometres from Ballina, it's home to tons of great attractions such as Guinness Storehouse.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Ballina with Expedia?
Check ratings and reviews, choose your car class and compare prices from top suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Ballina car rental with flight or hotel bookings and hit the road with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ballina?
Rental car rules in Ballina require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental providers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Ballina?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ballina?
If you're renting a car in Ballina or planning a big road trip in Ireland, get ready to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.
What is the cheapest car rental in Ballina?
The lowest price for a car rental in Ballina within the past seven days was NZ$123 per day. The next best deal snapped up by thrifty travellers was NZ$139. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then lock in a ride that suits. Whether you're staying in Ballina or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Ballina car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Ballina, we recommend checking the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25  some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
