Does it cost extra for us to to hire a van to go abroad?
We do not charge a premium for people intending to go over to the UK or the Continent; however it’s going to cost you more than a domestic journey anyway. Firstly for taking a van over to the UK is going to set you back around €300 minimum on a ferry, sometimes more for mainland Europe. Fuel is also going to be a big cost especially considering the distance involved. Insurance will be more for European motor cover. Also you will incur excess mileage charged if you have a substantial distance to travel (See – mileage allowances in the Fuel and Mileage FAQ). Finally, we make the stipulation that for people leaving Ireland in one of our vehicles must purchase AA Five Star Cover.This is an excellent service giving travelers roadside assistance and numerous other benefits, also in the event of an accident the vehicle will be shipped back to the Republic of Ireland The cover cost €47 euro for up to five days for AA members and €62 for non members. It can be purchased at www.aaireland.ie • If
