    They don't like their cars going on ferries and not being returned to the same country, it is unlikely you'll get a reasonable price.

    If anyone will do it it will be a major like Hertz

    But why not bring your car over and scrap it once here?
  • i dont think i'd get it to dublin port
  • Have you tried any van hire companies?

    Ok, may be the long way round, but how about travelling to England and picking a car up here, then taking it to ireland to collect your stuff, then back to England, where you can then return the car / van back to the same country. As mentioned above, whilst one way rentals are quite normal, using different countries can pose a nightmare for the car hire companies.
