Normally all vehicles have an excess/deductible amount ranging from €2000 to €5000 based on the size or value of the car reserved. For rentals commencing in Northern Ireland, amounts range from £1500 - £2200. We have included the additional ‘Super CDW Coverage’ insurance in the Fully Inclusive Rate that waives that Excess. - in simple terms NO DECUTIBLE or EXCESS.

The Fully Inclusive, discounted rates, are for booking in advance of your arrival day in Ireland. The reservation must be reserved at least 10 hours prior the pick-up time. If you are traveling over several time zones please factor that in. For example, if you are traveling from the USA's West Coast you are 8 time zones earlier than Ireland. So if you try to make a reservation at 3:00pm, it is already 11:00pm in Ireland. If your pick-up time is 6:00am, Irish time, then you are outside the booking window and the fully inclusive rate will not be available. The Hertz widget will provide a car rental quote but is will not be the fully inclusive discounted rate.

Your fully inclusive rate includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW); we have also included the additional protection, "Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW)", to waive the already limited liability in case of damage to the Hertz vehicle, provided the vehicle is used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement.

* Please note: super CDW coverage will not cover you for damage to Tires, damage to wheels, glass (windscreen, side and rear windows, sunroof) loss of Keys, Contamination of fuel or Neverlost Navigation units *

Please note: You can now purchase additional insurance coverage for Tire, Wheels and Glass at the Hertz counter when you pick up your car.   Tell the customer service agent to add it to your rental agreement.  The cost is from €7per day.  (Super Cover must be included in your rate to qualify.  The Fully Inclusive Rate includes Super Cover so you qualify to be able to purchase the tire and wheel coverage).

The Car Rental company needs a Recognized Credit Card for security purposes which needs to be produced along with your licence at time of rental. This is standard industry practice; therefore, we require a Credit Card to reserve. You can however use the credit card to secure the rental and produce at the counter and then have them charge the rental with your debit card.

Update: you can use a Visa debit card.  The procedure is the same as using a credit card but you must have funds available at the time of rental to cover the car rental amount plus fuel.  This amount will be blocked for the duration of the rental.  The rental amount will only be charged by Hertz when you return the car.

When you arrive at the Hertz Counter tell the Hertz agent at that time to have the payment processed in Euros rather than USD. What he sets in the computer at that time is what is done at the end of the rental when your credit card is charged. It is important that you make that choice at the start of the rental. The hertz agent may ask you anyway as it is one of the 'fields' that needs to be filled in as he processes your your rental. Here's a suggestion: Write a sticky note and place it on your driver's license to remind you to do it!

Note: On the Hertz Ireland Rental Agreement form that you will sign before receiving the keys states the Customer Preferred Currency Conversion (CPCC):

Barrier free tolling is in place (no toll booth available) between Junction 6 and 7 on the M50 in Dublin. There is no cash payment facility at this point. Please note that Hertz have all of their vehicles registered with the Toll Operator and therefore Hertz will be automatically charged for each toll incurred. A toll fee of €3.50 per usage will be charged to you directly by Hertz. Hertz will be advised after the rental of the toll charge accrued for each rental and will charge your credit card separately.

Hertz rates do not include fuel.
All Hertz vehicles are rented with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank or a local refuelling charge will apply in addition to the cost of the fuel.

Fuel Purchase Option (FPO). 
For your convenience, you may purchase a tank of fuel from Hertz at the time of rental at a price that is competitive with local fuel stations. 
This method eliminates the need for you to refill the tank before returning. 
Please be aware that we are unable to give a refund for unused fuel.

Please check availability at time of rental.

I see that the Super Cover included in the Fully Inclusive Rate does not cover Tire, Wheel and Glass Damage.  Can I purchase additional insurance to cover tires, wheels and glass?  If I can how does it work?

Just recently Hertz Ireland is offering Wheel, Tyre and Glass Cover to those renters that have the Super Cover included in their rental.  So when you arrive at the Hertz counter you can ask the Customer Service Agent to add the optional CP - Tyre, Wheel and Glass Cover from €7 per day. The samller car categories are €7 per day (Groups A & B), €8 per day (Groups C, D, E, F, Q, R6) , €10 per day (GROUPS G, j, P, V, W, X) and the larger ones €13 a day Groups I, S, T, M, N, Y, S6, W6, X6, Y6, Z6). Once you accept the CP your financial responsibility for accidental damage or loss to the vehicle’s wheels, tires (tyres) and Glass will be reduced to zero.  However, CP does not cover breakdown call out charges in the event of requiring roadside assistance.  If during the rental you need to replace a tire (tyre) present the receipt at the Hertz return desk and an allowance will be made against your rental charges.
