Hiring a car at Drogheda

Drogheda is one of Ireland's oldest towns and is a popular tourist spot. It's on the east coast in County Louth, and Dublin is 30 miles to the north. With a Unesco World Heritage Site at Newgrange just five miles west of Drogheda, Enterprise is popular with visitors to the area who want to hire a vehicle and see all the wonderful sights. You'll find Enterprise Rent-A-Car on North Road, close to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. The M1 motorway is just to the west of the Enterprise branch and this road leads to Dublin. In Drogheda itself, visit St Peter's Church on the main street and admire its architecture while learning about its history. St. Laurence Gate is also a must-see and is part of the buildings and walls making up the town's ancient history. Drive out to visit Beaulieu House and Gardens in the northeast of the town - it's a real hidden gem, on the river Boyne. Then, visit Mellifont Abbey at Tullyallen, around six miles northwest of Drogheda. Although the abbey is now a ruin, it's very beautiful and represents the monastic way of life in the area during the 12th century.

Enterprise rent-a-car provides damage waiver -DW- which reduces the costs associated with damage to and-or theft of the Enterprise vehicle subject to the terms and conditions of your rental agreement. Damage and theft responsibility is the full value of the vehicle. Damage waiver may be mandatory and included in the quote. Customers who can provide independent and verified provision to cover damage and theft to the enterprise vehicle may be able to decline DW. The price of DW is 13.21 Euro per day plus vat.

All rentals where the vehicle is not returned to the same location as it was rented from will be subject to a one-way fee of up to 150.00 EUR.

In Northern Ireland the reduced excess on all commercial vehicles is 500.00 GBP. You may wish to check if your personal coverage is adequate to cover damage, theft, loss of revenue, administration fees, diminishment of value, and any towing, storage or impound fees. If you decline Excess Protection then you are required to pay any applicable Damage Waiver excess and seek compensation from your carrier. The price of Excess Protection varies by vehicle size and the prices are inclusive of VAT. Premium location fee applies to airports.

To rent a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the United States and Canada, you will need the following:

  • To be 25 years old 
  • A valid driving licence with a photo
  • A photo ID (for example: a driving licence or passport)
  • Credit or debit card (check the acceptable forms of payment at the location you're renting from)

Some locations may require additional information, including but not limited to: 

  • An International Driving Permit (IDP): If the licence is written in a language or characters different from those of the country of rental, an IDP is also required. Renters are advised to check whether local authorities require foreign drivers to present an International Driving Permit to avoid the risk of potential fines. Renters with licences from countries that are not part of the International Driving Permit Agreement should carry a certified translation.
  • Return travel and accommodation information: Visitors to the UK must also provide proof of return travel and accommodation information while in the UK. 

As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.

Fuel policy at non-airport locations:

  • You may refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you picked up the vehicle, or if you choose not to refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level, you will be charged the local Enterprise rate which is typically above the local pump price. An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • A full tank of fuel is not guaranteed.

Fuel policy at airport car rental locations:

  • You may refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you picked up the vehicle, or if you choose not to refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level, you will be charged the local Enterprise rate which is typically above the local pump price. An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • You may opt to pre-pay for fuel — pre-pay gives you two conveniences:
    • You can avoid the hassle of having to fuel up the vehicle before returning.
    • The pre-pay fuel option is calculated at the local rate of fuel minus a per gallon discount.

Note: Pre-paid fuel is only sold in full tanks at the discounted price per gallon and is not refundable. Local fuel rates will vary by the area you are renting a vehicle.
