Sir, – As an emigrant since 2013, on each visit home I am increasingly proud of Ireland’s economic recovery, attributed to our open economy and tourism.
However, my pride dims each time the mandatory car rental insurance policy is explained to me at Dublin Airport, a distinct exception to general travel insurance many travellers will hold. This policy significantly increases costs for renters, as seen in my recent experience where insurance of (€420) exceeded the car rental cost itself (€370).
This practice, seemingly unique to Ireland, is only explained to arriving guests as they pick up their cars, which may not be one of the hundred thousand welcomes Fáilte Ireland or the IDA have in mind. – Yours, etc,
MARK CUNNINGHAM,
Ann Ingle: Deliberately going out of my way to move for no particular reason has never appealed to me
Gerry Thornley: How about an alternative look at Ireland’s Six Nations win over England?
Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?
