Whether you live in Mullingar and need a car for a week while yours is in the garage, or you’re visiting Westmeath and want to explore at your own pace, Value Car Rental’s Mullingar office has you covered.
We’re a local office — not an airport desk, not a national chain. That means flexible hire terms, a practical fleet chosen for midlands life, and a team you can actually talk to. Here’s what you need to know about hiring a car in Mullingar.
Who Hires From Our Mullingar Office?
Our customers come from all walks of life, but there are two groups we see most:
Mullingar locals. Your car is off the road for a service, an NCT repair, or an unexpected breakdown. You need something reliable for a few days or a couple of weeks. We make that simple — no complicated contracts, no unnecessary extras.
Tourists and visitors. You’ve flown into Dublin or Shannon, made your way to Westmeath, and now you want the freedom to explore without depending on taxis or public transport. Hiring locally from Mullingar means you’re already in the right part of the country — no extra motorway driving required.
The Fleet — Cars, SUVs, and Minivans
Our Mullingar depot stocks a range of vehicles to suit different needs and group sizes:
- Cars and hatchbacks — ideal for individuals, couples, or everyday local driving
- SUVs — great for families, weekend trips, or anyone carrying luggage and kit
- 7-seater minivans — perfect for larger families or groups exploring the midlands together
- 9-seater minivans — our most popular option for sports teams, family events, and group travel across the country

We Deliver to Your Door
One of the things that sets Value Car Rental apart from larger brands is our vehicle delivery service. Rather than making you come to us, we can bring the car directly to your home, your hotel, or wherever you’re based across the midlands.
This is particularly useful for visitors who have arrived by train or coach, for locals whose own car is unexpectedly off the road, or for anyone organising a group event who needs a minivan delivered ahead of time. Contact us with your location and dates to confirm availability.
A Great Base for Exploring the Midlands
Mullingar sits at the heart of Ireland’s hidden midlands — and having a car transforms what’s possible. Within an hour, you can reach Athlone and the Shannon River, the Hill of Uisneach, Clonmacnoise, the shores of Lough Ree, or the rolling hills of Longford and Roscommon.
Westmeath itself has plenty to keep you busy: Lough Ennell is just south of town, Belvedere House and Gardens is well worth a visit, and the Fore Valley with its ancient monastic ruins is a genuine hidden gem. None of these are easily accessible without your own wheels.
Hiring a car from our Mullingar office gives you that freedom from day one, without the stress of collecting from Dublin Airport and driving west through city traffic to get here.
Why Not Just Hire at Dublin Airport?
If your trip starts and ends in Westmeath or the surrounding midlands counties, hiring at Dublin Airport adds time, stress, and often cost to your journey. Airport rental desks are busy, the queues can be long, and the shuttle buses to off-site compounds are an unwelcome start to any trip.
Hiring locally means you collect the keys when you’re ready, from people who know you’re not just a queue number. The process is straightforward, the pricing is transparent, and if anything changes you’re speaking to a real person who can help.

No call centres. No automated queues. Just a local team who want to get you on the road with the right car.
