VEHICLE TYPES AND USES

• I am moving house, what vehicle is right for me?

We provide a number of different rental vehicles for house moving purposes. These vary in size and cost. One factor which can often be neglected in the search for economy is the time and labour of the house mover. You should take into account the distance of the move and the volume of your belongings. With fuel prices the way they are at the moment you can easily spend more by selecting a vehicle that is too small and having to make extra trips.

• I am intending to travel abroad, do you provide vans for this purpose?

Yes we do, it is a little more complicated than domestic hire, but nothing to get too worried about. You must have a valid irish address and Irish car license. Finally when going abroad you must pre-pay for your hire and also complete a pre-auth on your credit card for the sum of €1000.

• Does it cost extra for us to to hire a van to go abroad?

We do not charge a premium for people intending to go over to the UK or the Continent; however it’s going to cost you more than a domestic journey anyway. Firstly for taking a van over to the UK is going to set you back around €300 minimum on a ferry, sometimes more for mainland Europe. Fuel is also going to be a big cost especially considering the distance involved. Insurance will be more for European motor cover. Also you will incur excess mileage charged if you have a substantial distance to travel (See - mileage allowances in the Fuel and Mileage FAQ).

Finally, we make the stipulation that for people leaving Ireland in one of our vehicles must purchase AA Five Star Cover.This is an excellent service giving travelers roadside assistance and numerous other benefits, also in the event of an accident the vehicle will be shipped back to the Republic of Ireland The cover cost €47 euro for up to five days for AA members and €62 for non members.

It can be purchased at www.aaireland.ie

Yes you can. There are a number of conditions to be met though. Firstly you must be 26 years or older, also you must have possessed a full clean license for a minimum of 2 years.

• Can I transfer over my own car insurance to a van or truck?

Usually yes you can. You should ask your insurance broker/company if they will allow you to do a temporary substitution (if you wish to use the hire vehicle while not using your car) or a temporary addition (if you wish to use the hire vehicle and your car at the same time).

Transferring your car insurance will usually allow you to use vehicles that can be driven on a car license although this does not hold for all insurance companies; typically low cost insurance policies will be more restrictive and costly for transfers. Some premium policies will enable you to arrange for a transfer free of cost.

Sometimes transfers will only be allowed if you are moving registered address, this is most common with low cost policies.
We will only accept own insurance cover from people with comprehensive motor cover, if you have third party you must buy insurance.

UK or NI insurance policies cannot be transferred onto our vehicles; if you are in possession of such a policy you must purchase insurance.

• How much does it cost to buy insurance from you?

We are very competitive on insurance prices. The cost varies across the type of vehicle being insured and the person who is hiring the van or truck. Typically it is not more than what it costs to do an insurance transfer. Feel free to contact us to discuss the specifics of insurance cost.

• Can I add more than one driver to a purchased insurance policy?

Yes, the person again must be over 26 years old and possess a full clean licence for a minimum of 2 years. There is a small charge for this additional cover.

• What are details of the cover you provide?

We provide comprehensive cover, it should be noted that there is an excess of €1600 on commercial vehicles, this means that if you damage the vehicle you are liable for the first €1600 of repair costs.
