Top Tips for hiring a van in Cork
- With Cork van hire, you can find your way around this beautiful, bustling Irish city with ease while you drop off cargo, move goods and deliver gear during business or pleasure. A rich landscape with plenty to look at, Cork is great to drive around, despite narrow streets from yesteryear and a large rural community. When looking for the ideal transportation for cargo in Cork, consider van hire for the comforts of a standard vehicle, with all the space to get business done in the most convenient way.
- If you are flying into Cork, you may land at the Cork Airport (ORK). The airport is based around 13 minutes away from Central Cork via the South Link Road and Kinsale Road, also known as the N27. You can pick up a van directly from Budget Van Hire at the airport, conveniently based in the Arrivals Hall. Budget is the primary rental agency for vans at the airport, with Enterprise and Hertz offering more centrally-based options.
- When considering Cork van hire, you will need to be 23 years of age at least, although Enterprise often requests that the drivers are 25 years old. A standard driving licence will get your van hire with no problems, but you will need to take it with you for the transaction, along with a passport if you are a visitor from outside Ireland. Some companies request that tourists bring their air ticket home as well. Ensure your credit card has enough funding for the transaction and if you want to pay by debit card, ensure your chosen van hire company allows it by reading the terms and conditions before booking through KAYAK.
- Apart from Budget van hire based at Cork Airport (ORK), there are additional centrally-based locations for van hire. Enterprise has a branch located in Commons Road in Blackpool, which is based approximately 7 minutes from Central Cork by car. Hertz has a branch in Lower Glanmire Road, which is an extension of the city centre, and y can find the Hertz branch in less than 8 minutes by car.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Cork
What is the most reliable van brand in Cork?
When opting for Cork hire if you're moving house or dropping off goods, reliability is vital. Look for dependable brands that not only offer good mileage, but include space and comfort too. Consider world-famous brands and always feel safe on the road. The Renault Master is a great 3-seater option with a choice of two or four doors, and the Opel Combo Cargo is a slightly smaller model with two seats and three doors. These two vans both have manual transmissions, which will assist with getting up hills in Cork with heavy loads of cargo. The Ford Transit is another great solution for a larger van that is known for dependability and strength.
Where should I park my Cork van hire?
With Cork van hire, you will need to take narrow streets and heights of vehicles into consideration when you are dropping off goods. While most vans are allowed in loading zones for quite drop-offs, parking your van will be a different story. The local city council uses a pay-by-phone system and a disc parking system in the city, and you can find spots during the week, with weekends and bank holidays being free. There are many large car parks, where you can leave your van safely such as Merchants Quay Car Park, Paul Street Car Park and Q-Park Grand Parade. You will find a good mixture of open-air and covered car parks, and they usually stay open until at least midnight, with some being open 24 hours a day.
Can I drop off my Cork hire van at a different location from where I picked it up?
This is one of the great conveniences of one-way hire, especially if you will be using the van to travel across city lines. It is always best to inform the van hire company of your plans to drop it off in the next city, but as long as it is the same company, you will usually have no problem changing drop-off destination from pick-up destination.
How does KAYAK find such low van hire prices?

Pros:
We were traveling with 7people and renting 2 cars. We had 6 very large pieces of luggage and 6 small bags. I figured there was no way we would get 2, five passenger vehicles to move all that luggage and 7 people and Alamo/Enterprise gave us there 2 cars with the biggest trunks and it worked perfect.Cons:
The X insurance is expensive but the piece of mind made it necessary since driving in Ire is chaotic. Also, rented GPS was worthless since it did not recognize places, only addresses and in Ireland, addresses are only a convenience. The cell apps work much better, best pay for cell service in Ire.Hertz

Cons:
the representative did not want to take the excess on my credit card and force me to take an insurance . so intead of 60 euros, the rental fees end up reaching 200 euros. the representative said I had to have a letter from my credit card issuer telling they agree to cover the full value of the car , she said the car is worth 30 000. they abuse customers which arrive in a fragile postiion. i have to rent car to visit my daughter in Ireland and such fees are to high for the family budget.

Cons:
Very expensive. Windshield was dirty inside and out. Was on a sight- seeing trip through Ireland with dirty windshields. Car exterior was dirty also. Had no idea how to return car at Cork airport. No instructions on what to do, where to go, how to walk to terminal from car park. No signs at airport car park to indicate how to walk to terminal. Car itself was good size and easy to drive.4.0 Mediocre
Apr 2018
Pros:
The vehicle worked properlyCons:
We were charged an extra drop fee of 65 Euros even though the original quote included this fee (verified by the US Budget office). When I questioned the local pickup office in Cork, they said to take it up with Kayak. We were also given a smaller vehicle than requested - a Nissan Juke, versus the intermediate Toyota Corolla or similar. We had a hard time fitting 3 people and three bags and it was supposed to fit 5 people with 3 bags. We then inquired about a different car and was told it would cost more.Payless

Aug 2019
Pros:
The staff explained that the insurance was not part of the rental agreement and I would have to pay separately. This was not the fault of the car rental company and they remained helpful and professional in their dealings with me.Cons:
The offer from Kayak did not include insurance, which I had to purchase at the desk and more than doubled the cost of the rental. This is a total rip off as the offer presented didn't stipulate this . Incidentally if I had hired directly from the car hire company it would have been much cheaper.2.0 Poor
Jan 2019
Cons:
Showed up to pick up the car I booked online for 86 euros and the man wanted a 5,000.00 Euro deposit for the car because I decline insurance because I have international coverage through my policy here in canada. I said I don't have that kind of money so how much for the car with insurance? I was quoted 571 euros. Remember I booked it online for 86. My Irish boyfriend asked what if i put it on my credit card and drive what is your best price? They dropped 250.00 euros off the rental price. At that point it was clearly discriminatory and subjective so we Did not rent a car and his sister drove us around for the week. How many other people have they ripped off with their insurance scam? Grateful for our backup plan.10.0 Wonderful

Aug 2018
Pros:
The car was clean at pickup and came with a full tank.Cons:
We were quoted $331 by booking online. At pickup, our total came to $846 after all taxes and ‘required insurances.’ I’d asked to drop the insurances because my VISA benefits from my credit union would provide coverage, however, they then added cancellation fees that made cancelling not worth the trouble. Will not be using Payless/Budget or Kayak ever again.Europcar
