Top Tips for Hiring a Cargo Van in Shannon

  • Shannon van hire is an excellent choice especially when it comes to needing space for equipment and extra room for groups travelling together, such as families. Typically, you can enjoy more comfortable seating with a van, and in this part of Ireland, when cruising around the town, the country roads and along the coast, it’s the ideal vehicle. Vans can also be cost-effective when travelling in a group, while also perfect for road trips, allowing you to explore various destinations in the region without having to rely on public transport.
  • If you’re thinking about arranging van hire in Shannon, you can find the best deals and most diverse range of vans available at Shannon Airport (SNN). Here, you can rent from top car rental agencies such as Avis, Europcar, Enterprise, and Budget amongst others. Locating the car hire desks is easy; just as you come through Baggage Claim, you will find the companies situated in the Arrivals Hall, with the car collection points less than a minute’s walk away from the terminal building.
  • After sorting out your Shannon van hire, if you are not accustomed to driving a van or people carrier, it is essential to acquaint yourself with the vehicle before navigating busy town centre streets. Take some time to familiarise yourself with the vehicle's size, handling, and blind spots. In Shannon, you will encounter a mix of tight central streets and spacious main roads, so it's advisable to plan your route in advance and ensure you are comfortable with the roads you choose. Additionally, exercise extra caution when driving in inclement weather, as Ireland is renowned for its changeable weather conditions.
  • To ensure a smoother driving experience in Shannon, it's recommended to avoid the morning rush hour (07:00 to 09:00 ) and evening rush hour (17:00 to 19:00), especially on main routes leading to the city centre. You should try to avoid driving on the N18 road, which connects Shannon to Limerick, and it can experience heavy traffic during peak hours. While other main roads to be avoided include the R471 and the R458, which are both central thoroughfares that run through Shannon.

  • Where are the best places to park a van in Shannon?

Pros:

Our flight was scheduled to arrive at 10:30 pm but delayed over an hour. We called to notify Payless and asked about picking it up the next morning and we were told the car wouldn't be available and we'd have to rebook. We were told that the counter would be open until midnight and there was nothing else they could do.at that time. We did arrive around 11:45 p.m. and the agent was there and pleasant but informed us that no one notified her and she was only there because she was notified that another customer would be late.-otherwise she would have left early The counter agent was very pleasant and helpful. The first person I spoke to with Payless was rude and unwilling to help or offer alternatives-he was unprofessional and had a terrible attitude. He seemed like he didn't care about our concerns and he wasn't going to even attempt to work with us. I was willing to pay the full amount, even if we picked up a day later but the only option he offered was to cancel and rebook . His supervisor was a little better but said we could go online to modify it or to call back in 3 hrs-which would put us in flight and after the customer service number was available. The customer service representative also failed to notify the rental center of our delay even though we provided the information. Luckily it worked out but it is unlikely that I will ever book through Payless again. The car and value were great but not worth the stress of worrying that we'd arrive and not have a car.

Cons:

The customer service representatives who answer the phone need to be trained to be more professional and to treat customers with respect rather than treat us like we were a nuisance that he couldn't bother with. I wish I had his name to file an specific complaint.

No staff at drop off even after 10-11 in the morning? Made the drop off very confusing and frustrating

Pick up was extremely slow. Other companies served 2 customers to Sixt one. The problem seemed to be regarding insurance provided by credit card companies. I used a Chase issued card and was told that I must contact Chase and have them email a letter to confirm that they would provide coverage. I had never experienced anything like this and had to spend time on vacation dealing with it from Another country. They should make it clear at the time of reservations that this is necessary!

We did not have a good experience with Sixt. We had just come from Scotland where we rented with Arnold Clark and the contrast was notable to say the least. I feel badly for the guys that work at sixt - they were forced to deal with angry customers constantly for all of the hidden charges and fees that the company requires. Sixt charges a lower rate up front but when you get there, they need a written letter from your credit card company that your credit card covers car insurance in Ireland - what?! Why was that not something they told me 6 months prior when I booked the rental. So then we sat there on the phone with capital one for 20 min; only to find out that we were not covered so therefore required to buy their insurance. Then we were not allowed to switch the driver to my fiancé (I booked the car but he was going to drive) without adding him and paying an additional 25 euro a day. So we ended up essentially paying $200 in insurance and adding a driver which really seemed unnecessary. Overall it felt like such a dishonest experience. Lots of fine print and hidden fees that made it more expensive and more frustrating than just paying up front more and having a smooth experience. If you’re going to go with sixt- do your homework ahead. Make sure the driver is the one booking the car, that your credit card has insurance for the country, and have a written letter from them resdy to go. And be ready to be frustrated. Apologies to the kind man that helped us - it wasn’t his fault the company has terrible policies he has to enforce.

The only issue I had was that there was no mention of Third party insurance, the options or the cost of it until I was picking up the car in Shannon. I was a little blind sided by the amounts quoted at the counter. This should be part of the booking process. Also with returning the car, we should have been given better instructions on where to leave it. I assumed to leave it at the Sixt return location, as done in all other car rental returns, but when there, they told me to leave it in temporary parking lot. not a big deal, but took extra time. All else was great !!

We had booked a 7 seater for a certain price and when we arrived they added on 150% in cost on all kinds of fees. We also booked a 7 seater and they only had a 5 seater which made the week very uncomfortable with bags on laps and they didn't offer any help.

The first car a Yaris hybrid: in three successive days the battery lost power to start on the first two days. On the third day the brake did not disengage and he pre-collusion device fail (according to a rental company empoyee. I lost four days of salmon fishing in Ireland. I had to drive 2 hours to Knock airport west to exchange for a new car. When I returned the latter I was charged for 5 areas of damage on it which had already been delineated the the second rental agreement I had ben given. What a disaster ! Not worth my time and money.

Your Є2K deposit is unnecessary and a way to force people to buy the expensive insurance. Also, you took Є2,200 instead of actually Є2K. I also extended the day to return the car on and it was literally half the price of the previous 6 days. Disgusting.

Pros:

Good gas mileage, easy to park and maneuver due to size.

Cons:

Being up front regarding the cost of insurance, which adds, at minimum, an additional $1000. Also, being scolded for arriving late to pick up was unacceptable.

Returning the car was great - the rep was very helpful. And the car worked well. However, when picking up the car, we were hit with an unexpected 10 euro per day charge since I was providing my own insurance. At no point was this charged identified or explained during my booking on Kayak. This doubled the price of the rental. The rep when we picked up the car said the charge was mandatory. I felt swindled since this was a total surprise.
