Northern Ireland Car Hire for over 80's

loobyloo2

Hi
Hoping someone can help.
Parents usually drive up to Cairn Ryan for the Belfast crossing (won't use different crossing as too long onboard), but are finding this 300 mile journey quite draining now, so this year they are considering flying, but would still need to hire a car once arriving in Belfast.
Dad seems to think there is a company that hires to the over eighties (he is 83 and in good health with a clean licence) though I haven't yet found anything.
I was hoping that someone on here may be able to offer any ideas.
Thanks.

You could try this web site

http://www.northernirelandcarhire.com/

I can't vouch for them but I have tested the site and weirdly your 83 yo Dad gets a better price on some car models than me and I'm 48 and this is before any asking for gender & driving experience etc. Also if your Dad or Mum is ex civil service this site may be worth a look, also don't forget AgeUk & Saga

Of course all the big national chains are sited at both Belfast airports and you can check out each airport for any local firms that may be there.

Phoned Avis and they have no upper age restrictions.

Northern Ireland car hire allow you to get a quote as an over 80, but then when you go to book, the upper age is 75, found this with a few companies when looking previously.

Thanks both for taking time to reply and your help.
Much appreciated
