Practical HQ

Practical Car & Van Rental is a vehicle hire company serving customers through a network of local independent franchises across the Republic of Ireland and the UK. The company presents its service as flexible, reliable and locally delivered, with branches offering online reservations and location search tools to help renters find a nearby provider. Its fleet includes cars, vans, MPVs, minibuses and motorhomes, although availability varies by location.

Car hire options range from small three- or five-door models to medium and large cars. Some branches also offer SUVs and MPVs, with child seats and satellite navigation available on request. The commercial van range includes short-, medium- and long-wheelbase vehicles, as well as extra-long-wheelbase and combi vans, crew cabs, and Luton models with configurations such as tail lifts, tippers, dropsides or refrigeration. Practical welcomes short- and long-term rental enquiries from individuals and businesses, and may offer preferential terms for extended hires. Online bookings use a real-time vehicle allocation system.
