Car Rentals in Ireland

My daughter and I will be traveling to Ireland this summer and the driving responsibilities will be mine. I've driven on the left before but it's been many years; that is not my main concern. I've read a lot about the insurance, what is required, what may or may not be covered by your credit card, and what is recommended to cover scratches etc. I am concerned that a large sum will be held on my credit card to cover possible damages--which would crush my vacation budget. Any past experiences?

Used to be that the World MasterCard covered you in Ireland. It did in 2009 when I used it there. As stated above you really need to read the terms of the agreement.

Call your cc and find out. I had coverage from MC a few years back but it was limited to 15 days. I rented a car last summer through AutoEurope and had no problems. Paid for the full coverage option. It wasn't that bad considering what your paying to go there anyway. Ireland is just a pricier country for car rentals.
