The counter rep with whom we dealt with when we picked up the car, Grace, was very competent but friendly and helpful as well. The rep who went over the car with us was equally competent and friendly. Lastly, the rep we dealt with when we turned in the car, Dan, was also friendly and helpful. Your staff at Dublin were excellent and you should be proud of them.

Mediocre|Aug 2023

The car was good, the staff efficient. My big problem was that there was no insurance within the reservation and at the rental desk I had to pay 400 euros more (for just the car to insure, not the passengers, and for a higher price than usual). It was a very bad surprise as during the reservation online it was not clearly said that the reservation was without the insurance. I insure my personal car for less than 200 euros per year, how can an insurance for 6 days costs 400 euros with a 2000 euros franchise? I advice everybody to double check the insurance condition during the reservation!

I booked on your site for a 77 year old man and when we arrived, they refused to rent us a car. Luckily I myself had my driving license even though I didn't want to drive in Ireland. they also insisted we had to take their insurance as we couldn't opt out even though we were insured through our visa card.... Amazingly inefficient service on your part and not much better at Budget!

Very easy to collection and drop off. Would have liked to be able to drop off at the airport rather than use the shuttle as we had two small children with us.

I was charged €24.73 after I dropped off the car, no idea why as I had paid all the tolls for highways used. Can you please enquire.

Very kind staff. Fast pick up and Return of the rental-car. The explanation where the shuttle picks up the people could be also send by mail with a map since there are two Stops at Terminal 1/2. We hope the rental-cars will be one day affordable for all people again ..it got really expansive the last years.( esp. during Corona. Thank you so much for Everything.

The pick up at the airport was good, no issues. On the drop off the attendant "claimed" that the back passenger door was dented during our rental. However, we looked at photos taken when we picked up the car and the dent was already there. On pickup there was no prior damage report supplied. If we hadn't taken the full comprehensive insurance package, I am sure we would have been on the hook for the damage. I find this disturbing and felt accused of the damage when in fact I wasn't. Fortunately, no out of pocket expense for us but still concerning nonetheless. Otherwise, the car was perfect and everything else was good.

They did not inform me in advance I needed specific documentation to avoid making the insurance mandatory so I was forced to increase my rental cost by 120.

Poor|May 2023

Very poor communication and I think we got scammed. They charged us $61 per day for insurance and said it was mandatory. Everyone else we talked to paid anywhere from $17-$30 per day for insurance. When we asked if there was any cheaper insurance option they said this was the only one and absolutely required otherwise we could not take the car and we had already paid for it in full. There was no information anywhere before or during of insurance requirements or costs.

They did not accept a letter from my credit card company for CDL insurance because it did not say Ireland on the letter. The letter said I was covered "Worldwide" but they would not accept it, therefore, I had to pay an extra €350 for the rental car. What an absolute scam!!!

This location was an embarrassment to rental car facilities. It took over 1.5 hours (with small children) to pickup the vehicle. The staff was adamant about selling their insurance coverage, which I did not need since my VISA card covers rental car insurance (fully). In advance of picking-up the vehicle, I followed all instructions and had letters issued from my credit card company and the insurer. The counter staff refused to accept the paperwork, since it said that the full insurance was valid WORLDWIDE. They literally indicated that it had to say 'Ireland', and that worldwide wasn't acceptable (!?). It took me 60mins on hold with my insurer (long distance, roaming) to get the letter updated. The insurer (a worldwide, large insurance company) indicated they had never heard of this requirement before. The counter staff was intent on charging me over 800eur for insurance, which is extortionate and ridiculous. Avoid this location at all costs - definitely something wrong with management/ownership (this is not a corporate Europcar facility, but rather a franchise location).

They did not believe me when I told them my credit card would cover any damages to the vehicle, they made me call the United States to get it in writing, which took a while, and then they said that that didn’t cover everything and I needed to pay another $90… Felt like a con
