I am going to Dublin in a month and would like to rent a car there in order to be able to make a little road trip around Ireland. I am 24 years old and my friend is 23. I have seen here Renting a car in Ireland when under 25? that it is not possible to rent a car in Ireland when younger than 25 years old or, if it is possible, it is very pricey.

Are other alternatives for me to book a car at the cheapest price in Ireland? I know in my country we have websites that allow people to rent cars from individuals. Is there a similar service in Dublin and, if so, would they accept me being 24 years old ?

EDIT 6th of October

I am mostly looking for car rental websites between individuals in Ireland now as you showed in the comments it was not possible to rent a car under 25 years old without the young driver fee.

I traveled in Ireland in 2011, at the age of 24 (and with a French driving license like you). I rented a car at "Budget" (online reservation on their website www.budget.ie) and didn't have to pay a young driver additional fee.

Try to check if it is still the case. FYI the price was 78€ for 4 and a half days, for an Economic 2 door, in november.

I quickly checked their terms and conditions, just got a doubt about a sentence, maybe the best option is to email them at reservations@budget.ie
