[quote=Anonymous]OP here with an update:

I got a lead for an Irish peer-to-peer car sharing service, but it turned out that they could not take a U.S. driver's license.  The company was very helpful, however, and mentioned  that Toyota dealers share their platform to rent out their fleet of Toyotas, and that they take American licenses!

Amazingly, I was able to get a one month rental for $1390 Euros (including insurance!!!) for a newer Toyota hybrid!  The dealer who is renting to me is closer to where I am staying than Dublin Airport, so I'm going to take the train from the airport out to the Northwest and I'll taxi from the station to the Toyota dealership.

Thank you to everyone who offered...hope this might help a future Ireland traveler if car prices don't go down soon.  One other note...it's an AUTOMATIC car, which is usually way more expensive to rent over there.  (In fact, I'd rather have a manual shift b/c I love driving with the steering wheel on the right and shifting with my left, but I guess b/c it's a hybrid, it only comes in automatic.)

Anyway...there's a tip for you for cheaper Irish car rentals.  Check out Toyota dealers!  [/quote]
