C) Should it get the total CDW Insurance? I looks like CDW is required along with theft. At least online it was forced on me.

Thanks in advance.
A. WiFi will be fine in urban and suburban areas, but if you are depending on it for the wilds of Kerry and Galway, you'll be looking for alternatives.

B. Just pay cash. There is always a separate lane which has a booth with an attendant. The only exception are tolls on portions of the M50 - the ring road around Dublin. Those tolls are auto charged to Hertz and you will be billed separately. As for driving Dublin>Killarney>Galway>Dublin - have you driven in Ireland before? Do you plan to do anything other than drive a large chunk of your time there?

C. Only you can decide on CDW. It's complicated in Ireland. Suggest you read this well-worn thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/u-k-i...-confused.html
