The Complete RV Guide to Ireland 2026

The minimum age to rent a motorhome in Ireland is 21. Unlike many other destinations, Bandana RV's partners do not charge young driver surcharges, nor are there any restrictions on the type or size of vehicle you can rent based on your age.

One-way rentals between depots in the Republic of Ireland (e.g., Dublin to Shannon) are sometimes possible but depend on the supplier and vehicle availability. International one-way rentals, such as picking up in Dublin and dropping off in the UK, are generally not permitted. Always confirm options before booking.

For the best selection of vehicles and more attractive pricing, we recommend booking your Ireland motorhome rental 4 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important if you plan to travel during the peak summer months of July and August or if you require a larger, family-sized vehicle.

The standard daily rate typically includes the vehicle rental, standard insurance coverage, and essential living equipment like kitchen supplies. Additional items such as bedding, outdoor furniture, and GPS are usually available for a fee. You can upgrade to a top-level deductible for extra peace of mind.

No, a special licence is not required. A standard car driver's license (e.g., a Class B in Europe or a regular license from the US, Canada, or Australia) is sufficient to rent and drive all motorhome classes available for hire, including Class A, Class B, and Class C vehicles.

The shoulder seasons of late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September) are often considered the best times for an RV trip. You'll enjoy pleasant weather, fewer crowds than in peak summer, and nearly all campgrounds and attractions are open. This period offers a great balance for comfortable travel and exploration.
