One-way car hires

Picking up and dropping off your rental car at different branches incurs a charge, unless they are in the same city.

The charge is dependent on the type of car booked and will be included in your quote.

Unbeatable Prices

We know the price and the package we offer for car hire is pretty well unbeatable, but should you wish to shop around other car hire companies before you book with Celtic Legend, please don’t forget to add in all the charges which come as extras when you rent a car from other suppliers. It would also be a good idea to bookmark our site, so you can find us again to make your hire car booking. We offer not only a quality car rental, but a truly cheap car rental.

Remember, if another rental company’s quote SOUNDS too good to be true, it probably IS too good to be true!
