Famous for its night-life and warm, welcoming people, Dublin is many people's dream city for a fun-filled vacation. Highlights include the 13th-century Dublin Castle (constructed on elevated ground once occupied by an earlier Viking settlement) and Trinity College, home to the Book of Kells written in the 8th-10th centuries. And no visitor can leave Dublin without enjoying a tour of the Guinness Storehouse, a first-rate visitor attraction that tells the story of one of the world's most popular alcoholic beverages. Dublin is also the perfect base from which to tour the Emerald Isle, including an exciting drive along the Wild Atlantic Way down Ireland's spectacular west coast.

" I would highly recommend but I was advise check the car for scratches and scrapes. Maybe specify your requirements before hand . "
" I was very happy with the ease of booking and picking up the hire car, as it was the evenning we did not get to check the car over in the dark, but on checking first day light, I was a little disappointed as there was many drapes and scratches and we were staying at a very nice hotel so the car did not really fit the hotel rating, "

" Auto Europe seem okay... but they should not work with Europcar, who are a disgrace. "
" - We queued - standing up - for 1 h 20 min at the Europcar desk in Terminal 1, Dublin to speak to the agent and get our car. After that, we still had to take the shuttle bus out to the car hire facility and wait a bit more. - The car was good apart from the inside of the windscreen, which was dirty. In bright sunlight it appeared misty and this was a safety hazard. - It looks like Europcar may have tried to diddle us out of £100. We asked to return the car with a full tank but the agent made us pay £100 as a "fuel deposit". We returned the car with a full tank but no "deposit" has been returned to us. - Europcar also tried to sell us additional insurance when we had already bought this through Auto Europe. "

" Chaotic pick-up office. Pretty much out of control - staff not coping and no apologies or explanation. "
" The pick-up office was in chaos. People waiting over an hour and a half. Only 3 staff dealing with a queue of 20+ customers. No apologies or communication with those waiting. When I pointed out I had been waiting over an hour I was told: "So is everyone else" as if that was OK! I have been renting from Dublin airport 4 times a year for over 15 years and have never experienced anything so bad. When I was finally given a car, I had to wait a further 20 minutes while the car was being washed during a heavy rainstorm! "

" It took almost 2 hours to get car in Dublin. The first car we got after waiting forever had a broken wing mirror. So we waited for a second car. We start to drive off in this, only to notice it had next to no fuel init, so we had to go back again to get it filled. Not the best experience. "

" See above. Overall car was great, no issues with driving or maintenance. Great value for money. Just ensure any damage already present on a vehicle at collection is recorded on held paperwork to save future potential issues. "
" Pick-up was slow due to having to wait for a car to be assigned to me once I had finally reached the front of an already large queue. Staff were polite and friendly however. Car was in a good condition apart from a couple of minor issues that I fully recorded via a video on my phone. My biggest issue was at drop-off. I handed the vehicle keys over and waited for the car to be checked by a member of staff. After a few minutes I was called over to the car and was asked to explain a fairly extensive dent and scratch on the passenger side wing mirror, I explained that the damage was already on the car at collection, to which the response I received was that it wasn't on their paperwork that they had on file for the vehicle. How this damage wasn't on their paperwork was unbelievable as it was by far the largest and most obvious damage on the entirety of the car at collection. Luckily I produced the video that I had taken and after review, the lady admitted that the damage was already present at pick-up and stated that their paperwork would be updated for future customers, before signing off on returning my full 1800 Euros excess deposit. If I hadn't taken that video, circumstances probably would have went in a very different direction. Bad vehicle and documentation preparation by the hire company is an issue for them, not the customer, which led me to think how many times have others been charged in the past for damage that was already present. Always do a full check of any vehicle on receipt, the few extra few minutes it takes, can save a great amount of time and money down the line. "

" This was an experience we wouldn't want to repeat and we will not be recommending the company to family and friends. This is a shame as the booking process was a simple one and the price was competitive. "
" When we arrived at the car hire desk there was a large queue. There was one assistant working and we had to queue for 2 hours before we received our car. There was no communication as to what the delay was and no apology for the delay. When we had been in the queue for 1 hour, an assistant arrived to tell us that we could collect a car from another office. This would need to transfer by shuttle bus. When we asked if this would be quicker, we were told that they didn't know and were rudely told that these were our choices. Several of the customers, were very disgruntled including myself and we did ask for a manager to attend to resolve the situation. This was declined. Waiting for this length of time was unacceptable without explanation or apology. When booking the car we had to be specific with pick up time and was not honoured. This had an ongoing impact for our onward journey plans and we missed a dinner reservation and check in at the hotel. This was a frustrating experience and an unhappy start to a family holiday. "

" At pick up in Dublin, there was a huge queue in the airport - only 1 staff member on the desk and several others 'milling about'. After over half an hour in a queue we were directed outside to a minibus which took us to the compound - several staff were there manning desks with no one around. We had to wait another half an hour, once checked in, for the car to be prepared, and it was in a poor state. 90.000 on the clock, at least three years old, lots of damage (recorded and not recorded) and not from the car group I expected. (We were offered an upgrade for another £240!!). Car was a pile of junk and had wheel balance issues (probably from the damage on both passenger side wheels) meaning it shook severely at motorway speeds, the rear parcel shelf was also broken badly and blocked rear view unless you pushed it down from rear seat. Long story short - after 1 visit to the Limerick branch, and 2 to Shannon airport the next day, the car was finally swapped for one in an acceptable condition. Guys in Limerick and Shannon most helpful. Replacement car was very good, but the first one should never have been rented out. "
" Pick up Experience at Europcar in Dublin not great as per further comments below, due to 1.5 hour delay on picking up car - also high sales pressure to upgrade or take out additional insurance when I already had my own. Limerick and Shannon very helpful with car change needed due to unacceptable car being issued. Although getting this done wasted a whole morning and lots of fuel! "

" Pickup and drop-off where conducted by Europcar. Pickup was atrocious. Our contract indicated pickup at the airport. When we arrived at the counter we had to wait 10 min to be seen by a rep who immediately sent us to catch a shuttle to an off airport site. We waited 25 min for the shuttle. On arrival at the site there was only one rep helping customers and we were fifth in line. Each customer took about 20 min to process Luckily a second rep appeared to help out. In total we waited 70 min to be served and another 20 min to be processed. Was it necessary for the rep to enter my address, phone number and date of birth - this information was provided when the car was booked it should have only been necessary to check these details. In our contract we were to pay a 1500 euro insurance deposit but the rep asked for 1800 euros. As a compensation for our wait we were provided with an upgrade and return to the airport. On return to the airport there were NO signs directing us to the return location. We did two approaches to the airport before returning the car to the off airport site, again delaying us, the time by 45 min. "

I spoke with a member of the team who tried to assist me by resetting the light after I had topped up the air, unfortunately I was unable to understand his instructions. Please check the car before renting as this did cause me some stress, thinking I might have a slow punture. However it turned out to fine. "

" It took about half an hour to do the paperwork at the Europcar desk at the airport. This was because the attendant was getting quotes for an older driver to cover excess insurance which we didn't want or need as I have separate annual cover for this. He could have saved himself and us a lot of time if he had asked me if I needed this first. "
" Europcar handle the rental for Car Hire at Dublin Airport. The car class/type I booked (an automatic) was not available and had obviously not been reserved. After some time ringing around an upgrade was found that had just been returned to the airport and not the car rental/ service facility away from the airport. This was more convenient as it did not involve a shuttle bus journey but there was no one in the Europcar booth in the car park to give us the keys. Eventually someone turned up and we were given an almost new car but it had not been washed. Apart from that it was fine. "

" Booked in wife's naming using company credit card in my name. Wife is also director of company. At counter in Dublin airport, advisor said they could only accept credit card in the name of the named driver. My wife didn't have her credit card with her, only a debit card. She was told if she used a debit card, the cost of the rental would more than double from £20 to £47. I had the credit card that was used on the booking, but they wouldn't accept that as it was not in her name. I had to add myself to the booking, which doubled the cost of the booking, meaning a 24 rental increased from £20 to more than twice that price. Not the end of the world, but if a card is accepted at the time a booking is made, it should be accepted at the counter. If the counter staff won't accept a credit card that is not in the name of the named driver, that should be made clear at the time of booking or, better still, don't accept a credit card that is not in the name of the named driver at point of sale.

" Worst customer service department that I have ever experienced. The gearbox went in the car, over 2 weeks ago and I had to chase them this morning for an update and to see if they had an independent review as suggested.I was visiting my dad who was dying in hospital. I spent over an hour on the phone trying to sort a different car. I kept being put on hold for 20 mins and then getting cut off and having to call again. I was told that it was "company policy" that they would only give me a automatic car as the clutch had gone and the nearest branch to the hospital didn't have one so I had to make my own way (taxi)to the airport branch ( which I haven't been reimbursed for). When I got to that branch there was no mention of an automatic and they gave me a manual car. Maybe they have a different "company policy". Over all this reduced the time I was able to spend with my dad before he passed away. It is time I will never get back due to your company's customer service. "

I had to crawl through the boot through the back seat to get to the drivers seat. Even with both mirrors folded inwards moving out was extremely difficult. There was very limited lighting so once I had bought the car forward I had to do the pre-check with a torch. I do not consider the extremely limited lighting and the restricted access as acceptable for a company I have used many times previously. This car was only USB C comparable so I was unable to use my standard iPhone charger that I have used before. Unfortunately my iPhone ran out of power before I got to my destination. Overall I am very satisfied with your customer service but on this occasion I feel that these issues has Not been up to your usual standards. "

" My dealings with Auto Europe were fine as always, but I would expect Auto Europe to take this matter up with Europcar because of the unprofessional way my wife and I were treated by a Europcar employee "
" I hired a Renault Arkana car from Europcar from 22nd to 25th November 2024. The contract number is 53596052 When I returned the car to the airport at approximately 2pm on the 25th there was a minibus waiting to take customers to the terminals. There was no driver in the bus and the back doors were left open. My wife and I are both senior citizens and she is unable stand for very long so I asked her to sit in the bus while I got the car checked in. At the time there was a lack of employees to check in the car but I found one and within a few minutes I was on the bus. Unknown to me the Europcar bus driver had a very rude exchange of words with my wife when she asked him to wait till I was on board the bus. He wanted to leave without me and would have done so were it not for the intervention of another passenger. When we arrived at Terminal 2 he didn't have the courtesy to open the door or take our suitcases out of the rear of the bus. Again, it was thanks to the kindness of the passenger who had earlier defended my wife when the driver was unprofessionally rude to her. He helped us to take our heavy suitcases out of the vehicle while the driver ignored us and stayed in his seat. We believe the lack of assistance from the driver was deliberate due to spite on his part. I travel regularly to Ireland and up to this point I was happy with the service I had received from Europcar but they employ staff who are rude and unprofessional to my wife and myself so I won't be hiring a car from Europcar any time in the future and I will ensure that other potential customers are made aware of this incident.

I complained at the Thrifty desk and was told to raise this with you and that you should be not offering this service to clients as you are aware they do not offer airport collection or drop off.

When I arrived at the airport Thrifty Desk I was told that this option was not available and only to 'Gold' clients. I was then given poor directions to the bus transfer to the off-site car hire, got lost, eventually found the bus transfer arriving at the offsite facility c30 mins later. The offsite desk, then had only 2 staff serving and it took me a further 30 minutes to be processed despite having completed all paperwork prior to arrival to ensure speedy car hire pick up. As a result, I have paid extra through you for a service i did not receive (at airport car hire) and was delayed by over 1 hour resulting in me being late for my appointment later that evening. I complained at the Thrifty desk and was told to raise this with you and that you should be not offering this service to clients as you are aware they do not offer airport collection or drop off. If this is the case you are being fraudulent. Who can I complain to? How do i get reimbursed for the additional monies paid for airport collection and drop off? "

Plus, your guy at drop off told me I would receive an email confirming that everything was fine but I never did. And an item for £7 was debited from my credit card with no explanation.

Vehicle return was a bit of a melee with many vehicles arriving at the same time so had to wait a while for the walk round inspection where a tyre cut was discovered (don't know how it happened) and Europcar automatically debited my credit card with an excess of €170 (£147) but fortunately had taken out insurance for this unforseen incident.

" We have used AutoEurope before and had no issues, but this experience with Thrifty was utter rubbish and it has made us reluctant to go through a third party again. "
" We booked car hire that included collection from the terminal as we didn't have a lot of time and needed to move quickly. It turns out this was untrue. We queued at the airport desk, only to be told we needed to get a shuttle from the airport to an off-site location. We had to wait for the shuttle bus to arrive along with a large group of people. There was a huge queue on arrival at the off-site collection desk which took an hour-plus to get through as it was serving Hertz, Thrifty and Dollar customers amongst others. The customer service rep told us that they would cover the tolls on the M50 but we had to sort any others ourselves, when actually the paperwork given afterwards said any charges for the M50 tolls would be passed on to us. He also told us that petrol would be cheaper if we returned the car empty. What we didn't realise was that he had added a full tank of fuel to our bill at that stage for 67.50. We had the car for 2 days and were only travelling an hour from the airport, we would not use a full tank in that time. Once we finally got through that queue, we then had to wait again for the car to be brought around to us. We had a very early return flight to the UK (7:20am) two days later. The car return didn't open until 5am. Again we had booked a return to terminal, not an off-site return with need for a shuttle. We were there before 5:30am and no shuttles arrived until 6am. At that point they were only providing minibuses for a maximum of 11 people at a time. There were at least 25 people waiting. There was no system so people who arrived later were jumping on before people who arrived before us! "

" As I booked through your site I got really overcharged for additional insurance wiping out all the savings made through your site as insurance was not included and a massive excess on any third party damage etc. "
" Hi When we arrived at the car hire location in the Airpoert, they told us they didnt have the car available and we would have to wait or get a bus out to depot to pick up a different car. they then promised a nicer car upgrade, then eventually told us the original car was ready. We were told that we needed to have the europecar extra car insurance as the cost of any minor damage very high. when we got the car it was an older car and it had a broken head lamp making it difficult to see and drive in the dark. After contacting the customer service we were only given the option to go tot the nearest repair shop which made us late to the next location. Finally when returning to the airport there were absolutely no petrol stations accessible to fill the car up near the airport location and there was heavy traffic which we were concerned about being very late to the depot. It was confusing and time consuming and we were charged 57 euros when we had over a quarter of a tank that cost 50 euros to fill from empty. Appalling customer service form Europcar. Plus as i booked through your site i got really overcharged for additional insurance wiping out all the savings made through your site. "

" To continue from above are these companies going to wait for a serious issue which results in harm to a customer before they get their act together. I also had a car last booked through you but not Hertz or Thrifty where the Steering was causing difficulties in controlling the c@r "
" Although car was booked via you with Thrifty, the hire is through Hertz. The car had a faulty driver side indicator was faulty. Within 20 miles the TPMS. As it was very late I was unable to find a garage. I was unable to find the TPMS reset, after I got out of the car and visually inspected the car. The following day when i checked the tyre pressures the front drivers side was 27psi the front passenger side was at 34 psi. Note this is the second time i have an issue, when i booked Hertz through yourselves where i had a puncture and needed to change the tyre and discovered the wheel removal tool didnt fit the wheel nut so I was stranded on my way to the airport. I received an apology from Hertz but absolutely no recognition of the severity of the issue and despite asking to raise a compliant this was just ignored. This raises the question in my mind what are the maintenance schedules and checks conducted "

When I arrived at the Flizzr desk they were not aware of the reservation nor could they find my name as my surname had been mixed up with my first name.

I then tried ringing AutoEurope customer services but no response. When I dropped off the car I explained to be told the payment was now made by Auto Europe following a change of policy but there was an admin charge on top! This seems very sharp practice to me and very disappointing. In terms of condition of the car it had clearly been smoked in prior to us having it (we are both none smokers) and so we had a week of a car that smelled of stale smoke. In addition the car tyre sensor kept displaying and when I checked the tyres the Front were uneven and overinflated and the rear were both correct. I corrected the pressures but despite this the warning light would come on and off intermittently . This was reported when I dropped the car off. "

" It wasn't my favourite car hire I have to say. I found the man at the rental desk very indifferent. Not exactly rude but not friendly. He told me, not asked me, that he was taking an amount from my credit card to cover full insurance but I informed him that I had a separate policy. The deposit amount still hasn't been refunded to my card four days after returning the car. In the past this has been done straight away. I wasn't informed about the lane tracking on the car which I found very scary before I learnt what it was and thought that something was wrong with the car, resulting in a very slow anxious drive. The tax disc on the car was a month out of date. However the return was very easy and the gentleman I dealt with very polite. "

" Don't always pick the cheapest car. "
" I would not recommend carhire or Europcar (same company) as it took over 2 hours to get to counter with the que and only 2 customer service reps there. Then they did not have the car I booked and tried to charge me for an upgrade which I refused. Then bus to pick up car and it was not ready so had to wait again. Overall took 3 hours from picking up luggage to getting car. When I returned the car they claim a chip on the windscreen was my fault, there were already 2 holes in the windscreen. This is still in dispute as when I picked up car it was wet, Have to admit I never noticed that damage. I know I can claim from my CD&TP on the car but that is not the principle. "

" Insurance policy ay pick up not clear. Very friendly staff but it was unclear as to whether i had insurance cover (o excess was my goal) from autoeurope or not and they were unable to comment as my contract not directly with Thrifty. As i had little time to check and noone was answering the autoeurope helpline fast enough, i decided to take out the thrifty/hertz insurance which was explained would be 113 euro. I understood there woudld be vat added but was then informed at drop off that there was a further 48 euro for tyre and glass cover so the overall amount to be paid was actually 190euro. After paying AUTOEUROPE £100 for the total rental including insurance ( which i realised after was included but accept that is my responsibility), the additional 190euro i felt was unfairly communicated and made the overall hire cost from £100 to a totale of £100+190€: almost triple. I think AE can do a better job possibly of communicating the insurance they offer and highlightin what the local car company will then try to add on/ offer. Thrifty should then be very clear as to what is ebing added on and have the customer sign this pre taking the car. communication overall was not clear and felt very much like AE v Thrifty : not working together. on multiple occasions i was advised to book directly next time as more cost efficient and easier. overall costly and not a great experience. the staff were very friendly and tried to help at drop off but at that stage all too late., The car was also not superbly clean ( mud inside doors and boot area etc) and had a bigger problem that showed the tyre traction system needed checking. After trying to get the air of the tyres looked at which didnt help, i continued to drive cautiously throught the hire and definitely experienced some traction issues when changing lanes on the motorway.

" Wasn't clearly sign posted in the airport which car rental place I needed to get in line & I wasn't aware that I'd need a bus service to collect the car. This wasn't an issue but did add time on that I wasn't expecting and lucky didn't impact the day apart from the end where I was cut a hour short as I had to factor in the return of the car & any paper work that might need completing as well as the wait for the shuttle service.

Flight diverted from Dublin to Belfast so impossible to collect car on time, the evil customer service lady at Auto Europe not willing to help, told me it was my fault that I did not pick the car up on time, this despite being airborne at the time. When I telephoned from Belfast saying that we could be delayed until the following morning all she could do was to quote booking terms at me, her only solution was for me to book another car and pay again. Auto europe, why do you employ people in customer service when they are not interested in serving the customer? Her attitude has undone years of great service from you. You should look up who took my call on Sunday night 10th December and either fire her or send her for some training. "

" The computer system went down whilst we were trying to get our car, which isn't the fault of the counter staff - but did make us late for our meeting. And then Clodagh also tried to make out that we were getting the SUV as compensation for having to wait so long to get the car. She was really lovely and I'm sure she is told to do this by her manager but I was hiring the car for business on a budget, not leisure and perhaps she should have picked up on this after we politely declined the upsell the first time. "
" I found the upsell from the Clodagh at Europcar a little on the heavy side - she wanted me to purchase further insurance when I had already bought full protection and upgrade to an SUV for an extra €20 a day which is double what I had already paid for a Ford Focus. Then after I had declined, she had to give me the SUV anyway as they had no Focus automatics in stock. I'd have preferred for her to confirm the Focus was available at the very least before trying to upsell me to something else. "

" As above. A horrible experience. "
" What a terrible experience! I took out full insurance cover when I booked through your website. However, when I got to the handler's (Europcar) desk, I was told that I only had third party cover -- or at least only third party cover from them. They said that if anything happened to the car, they would charge me up to £1500 and I would then need to claim it back from you. They said it would take ages. So, under the circumstances, and they pressure they put me under, I ended up taking out cover all over again -- to value of around a further £75 (for three days). In my view, this is a disgraceful practice -- a real con job. The person I dealt with told me that she hears this complaint all the time. And yet this manipulative practice continues. "

" When I arrived to the counter in Dublin airport the staff member informed me that I needed to upgrade to full insurance and that because I hired the car through an outside provider I wasn't covered.

The staff said that the outside provider should not have allowed us to book a terminal pick up. When dropping off the car on return in perfect condition and with a full tank of petrol the staff member said that there were two areas of damage and that we would need to pay for this. I said that I took a video on my phone when I picked the car up and she changed her tune straight away, I proceeded to show her the damage on the video which they had not marked. She didn't even apologise and said okay you're free to go. Very much leads you to believe it was left unmarked on the rental agreement in the first place. Dishonesty at its finest. In essence the service we booked through yourselves did but materialise though the hire company. Very poor from a supposedly reputable company. "

" Pickup was fine although there was a fairly long wait because they simply didn't have enough staff. Once I got to the front of the queue the process itself was really quick. I was glad not to have been 20 minutes later arriving because the queue was so much longer by then. Drop-off was really bad. I had been given instructions on where to drop the car off but when I arrived the Hertz/Speedy drop-off location was closed. There was no information on the card I'd been given on what to do. I tried phoning Hertz using the only phone number I'd been given and there was no answer. I eventually found out from someone at one of the other car rental companies that there was an alternative drop-off at terminal 2 which I eventually found despite there being no signs to it. It was only around 7pm. It would have been helpful if the counter staff had warned me when I picked the car up - my booking showed I was returning it that evening. "

" When I got to my car it was dark, but I took a full video of the outside as suggested. I noticed it was pretty dirty but not a big issue until I got an email through with pictures purporting to be the car, except in the pictures it was in a garage, very clean, and highlighting just two dinks, which I confirmed when I took the video. However, I also saw and videoed other scuff-marks, but assume Thrifty didnt think them significant. Anyway I resolved to upload the video when I got somewhere with wifi. But then when I tried to upload it the website wouldnt accept it. So I tried sending an email to customer services but havent had a reply. Small matter. It doesnt feel like a big thing to moan about when all other aspects of the rental went so well. The return was impeccable. The receiving staff member was ready to receive me and within thirty seconds I was on my way in the shuttle. This was such a boon because collisions in Galway and on the N6 had made me late and I worried - uneccessarily as it turned out - that I would be late for my flight. Overall, Auto-Europe and Thrifty was a great combo for me and will be first choice next time. "
" The first encounter was interesting. I noticed a gruff staff member dealing with a previous customer, but I got lucky I guess as my service person was absolutely brilliant. She was polite and helpful, efficient and gave great advice on where to eat locally. I was a bit mystified about the N6 toll which I left feeling she said it would be handled by Thrifty/Hertz, but I got a bill through for it on my return home. Not a big issue but perhaps more explicit instructions needed for full satisfaction. "

" Europcar offer absolutely no support or service when things go wrong for the customer. "
" Had a puncture in one tyre, on the return to the airport at 6am. The AA number on the rental agreement was INVALID. So that was a scam. Had to abandon the car. Europcar charged for the replacement of TWO tyres, a full tank of petrol even though I had filled the tank, and four days extra rental plus compensation. Europcar has no contract with the AA so there was no chance of getting help outside of office hours. They use only a local garage. No one picked up the phone at the Europcar unit at the airport. In fact when I arrived by taxi and explained the situation, no one seemed to know how to handle the situation. I ended up going through airport security with the car keys. You would think they would have asked for the back! While boarding the plain I received a nasty phonecall from from an employee called Debbie telling me what they were going to charge me for. As if the whole experience wasn't bad enough. Following this experience I would never use Europcar again "

" Collection of the car was a bit of a shambles. Firstly a mistake was made in the taking of the deposit and it had to be refunded. The car allocated to me was not ready and I had to wait while it was prepared. When I finally got the car a dashboard sign flashed that it needed Adblue which I reported to the staff. I was then allocated another car which was fine. The second car I was allocated was excellent and the return process ran smoothly, Financially it was good value but the initial collection process was very messy. "

This was approved by thrifty. He did say it was not the same brand and they would email us a receipt. We had to catch a fight. It was my mistake to not take a picture of tire. They then sent us a bogus picture of a car like ours with major fender and wheel damage . I had coverage except for with the tire and wheel. I was in a different country and could not fight this. A total scam! The coverage with auto europe took months to get resolved . They kept asking for the same paper work or additional info not originally asked for! They thought Id give up but did not . I would not recommend thrifty Dublin airport or Auto Europe! "

" Easy to use website and ability to cancel up to 48 hours before rental starts "
" The car I was given was perfect. However, 20 minutes after leaving the Airport I had a warning message on the dash to inform me there was a loss of tyre pressure and I should check the pressures and reset. I was on the M50 heading for Arklow with no safe opportunity to stop and it was raining so I carried on to my destination. About an hour's drive away. The following morning I checked the tyres. They all still had pressure but one of the tyres was slowly getting softer than the others. On further examination I saw that one of the rear tyres had a screw imbedded in it and this explained the slow loss of pressure. I checked the boot and found the spare wheel. However, the key to undo the lock nuts in the wheel was missing so I couldn't change the wheel. I contacted SIXT customer services and they put me through to roadside assistance. In the end they had to arrange for a recovery truck to retrieve the car and take it back to Dublin and send a new car to me. This took the whole of the second day of my rental so I had no car. To make matters worse I had arranged to take my 97 year old father to his home town in County Claire on the other side of the country and thus trip, to his bitter disappointment had to be cancelled, as a result of me not having the vehicle.

The petrol tank was not completely full when I got it and I returned it as I got it but got told to top it up or pay 30 euros. But I had no trouble otherwise. "

" I have been hiring cars in Dublin twice a year for the last 12 years and have never had an issue, unfortunately my first hire with Thrifty was Not a good experience. "
" I had made a phone call to the thrifty before my trip to confirm comprehensive insurance details. On arrival I asked for confirmation on height of car (Nissan juke) as my passenger had issues with low vehicles, they assured me it was the same height, it wasn't! 5hrs later I had to return to airport to change the vehicle. The next vehicle was only marginally higher (vw t-cross) 1 hr later we got a warning light on the dashboard. Called thrifty to be told to pull over and check the oil, if it was low to buy some and top it up! So we spent more time stopping at a service station checking and refilling the oil, there was none in it! I have video and pictures. The car on day 3 started making noises, luckily I was able to get it back to the airport before anything else went wrong. Upon drop off there was no member of staff available to process the refund for the oil we had to purchase. Really unhappy with the level of service we received. Please remove the nissan juke for this group of vehicle for thrifty, the desk clerk confirmed they do not have this type of vehicle at this location. Above all they registered my friend as the main driver on a manual car, this was not valid as she only has an automatic licence. "

" Your booking information is intentionally evasive. The dialogue around the deposit information is displayed far below the 'pay now' button which makes it impossible to see until you have paid and checked the booking confirmation afterwards. It does not define that the deposit must be in a credit card in the booker's name. I would persuade anyone and everyone I know to avoid both the 3rd party and the rental company. "
" The EUR 3000 deposit is excessive and the alternative insurance options are a scam. They more than double the price of the rental. Thrifty would not accepts a credit card in my wife's name even though this is not detailed within the paperwork - only that a credit card must be provided which I attempted and was refused. The collection and drop off point is far from the kiosk which wasted time and effort. "

" Everything was perfect except for 2 important points: 1. There were a number of scratches / marks damage to the car that was not on the original report and I had to get a new report done with pictures. 2. On return the person inspecting the vehicle tried to blame me for damage to the car wheel which was there before. Until I argued and showed pictures - only then was I given a clean sheet.

" We booked a car to be picked up at the airport to avoid shuttle buses and this was not honoured. "
" We booked this car even though it was more expensive than some alternatives specifically because it was described as "pick up at the airport" whereas in fact we had to take a shuttle to the car rental centre once we refused the additional car insurance. The counter staff tried hard to persuade us that the insurance we had booked with you was worthless. The car itself was missing a hub cover and had many scratches none of which were logged. It was only because we spotted and reported damage that we didn't have to pay for it. I felt this was deliberately dishonest. "

" Got to counter at Dublin airport only to be told the insurance I had paid for on line was not recognised by europcar and I needed to take their insurance, there was lots of drama about what it would cost me if I had an accident. Lots of pressure put on so I paid another £64 to insure the car. They said that auto europ who I'd booked through were con artists and I'd been mis sold insurance from them that was not valid. They told me to put in a case on my return and try to claim the money back. I now think it's europ car who scammed me with their drama and pressure at the desk, another lady was being told exactly the same, she was almost crying. It was a hideous experience.

I noticed that the car had scratches on the near side doors. Not surprising because the mileage was >34k km.

" Could not see a SIXT counter in Terminal 1. All other car hire counters said go to Terminal 2, so off we went - by foot lugging our luggage with us (not explained when booked). Eventually got to counter in Teeminal 2 (no directions). 2 people working and a queue. After about 30 mins I got to the front of the queue only for the now available employee to walk off, leaving me to wait yet longer for the only remaining employee to deal with me. This was then done relatively quickly, however only after I'd agreed to fork out another 93 euros for full insurance so that I wouldn't have to provide a 1500 euro deposit!!! This was also not explained when I booked and is totally not on. Once the paperwork had been done we then had to wait a further 15 minutes for the car to arrive. Having arrived at the counter just after 7pm, it was 8.20pm before we left . This is totally unacceptable. The car itself was great and we really enjoyed driving it for the 3 days we had it on hire. The experience of checking it out was very good, however why oh why is there no fuel station close by to fill up or even signs close to the drop off point telling people where they can fill up.

" I never have any issue with Auto Europe but wish you would bring Budget Dublin back on to your list of prices. I would not go to Thrifty again to be honest. "
" Firstly, nobody told us that the normal bus that takes you to collect the car from the compound had moved from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2. After waiting 30 minutes for the bus a rival company advised us of the new pick up. Upon walking to terminal two. it took longer to get from the door of the building to the desk to collect the keys and paperwork than it did to fly from London to Dublin 1.5 hours to be precise in a queue. Ridiculous. The Skoda car although new was uncomfortable, and very flimsy. We were told by the woman on the desk not to pay our Toll charges. We said do you charge an admin fee, if so we will pay it ourselves she said no we have yet to see if they do. Not impressed to be truthful have had much better experiences with Budget, Avis and Payless. There really should be signs stating things have changed and also they should advise people of the trek to collect the car. Shoddy Customer Service "

" Most of the hire went very well. Just one problem: the drop-off was at an off-airport location, and this could have been made much more prominent on the documentation. Having dropped off at Shannon Airport before, I was surprised to find no Sixt presence at the terminal, and only then did I notice that an alternative location was specified deep in the T&Cs. In fact this location is incorrect (out-of-date) and fortunately a phone call to Sixt HQ re-directed me to the current drop-off location. The Sixt staff member at drop-off, who was very helpful, told me that he had texted me that morning with the correct location, but he had the wrong telephone number for me (How?). Just made the flight with hardly any time to spare, so a rather fraught end to an otherwise satisfactory rental. "

So, I could not hire the car without paying £172 on top of your fee to take out additional insurance (for using a debit card). Not happy at all.

" I am very disappointed that you deal with companies that don't accept debit card payment blocks. Unless this policy is changed, I will not be booking through you in the future. "
" I booked a good car (Toyota Yaris) and was given a poor quality car (Dacia Sandero). Also, unlike every other hire car company I have used before, debit cards were not accepted for the excess cover, despite sufficient funds being available. Instead I had to pay for the zero cost excess, increasing the cost of the hire by several times. I will never book with Fizzlr or Sixt again. "

" Budget have a collection desk in T2 dublin. After queueing for 20+ minutes I was told to take a bus to the main collection office. I then had to queue for another 15 minutes for a 5 minute pick up. If the first office had had a note telling me to go to the other then, it would have saved tired kids from being grumpy. But the price was great so I cannot really expect more. Car was ok except for peeling paint and 115k km's on the clock. But very clean inside and fully working. Nice car. "

" Everything went well apart from the anxiety caused regarding pre-existing 'damage' I was shown photos of very minor scuffs that caused me to take another 5 photos of what I considered equally minor scuffs. I was convinced that the purpose of the notification was to alert me to a likely claim for the most minor of scuffs (even if it was pre-existing). Consequently, I did not particularly enjoy the experience as I felt sure that something would be 'found' on my return. This did not prove to be the case but I shall be extremely careful about hiring from Thrifty ever again. "

" I had a problem getting the car as I was unable to pay the 1500 euro deposit due to my visa Mastercard being bulk blocked as several cards had been fraudulently used. After an hour the manager kindly let me use my wifes card as it was a joint account and hadn't been blocked. It did then cost another 300 plus euros as another insurance had to be taken out as the original was booked in my name. I contacted yourselves by email asking for the original insurance cost to be credited back to me as it wasn't used on the car, but I've heard nothing back from you. Would you please update me on this. Thank you. "

" At the counter I was told it was cheaper to bring back the car with a partially empty tank , it was cheaper than filling it myself. That can't be right? Also the pitch at the counter was about cost of excess so I went for full insurance which effectively doubled the rental cost. I was offered prepaid M50 Toll which was great.

" A few weeks after booking the car hire, I decided to pay for the full insurance to cover all eventualities. I had no confirmation email of this transaction, however the money was definitely taken out of my bank account. For 2-3 days prior to collection, I attempted to view/print my voucher in anticipation of my trip but was unable to as the website was down for maintenance. This meant that on arrival, tired after travelling, and with no voucher to show, I had no information as to which desk to approach. Having tried all the desks at Dublin airport, the last desk "SIXT" managed to find my booking. The final straw was then to discover that, despite the money coming out of my bank account for full insurance, there was no record of it and I had to pay the full deposit on my credit card. I therefore ask that you refund the payment made as it provided no cover in this instance. "

" It was only after I signed the contract that I was informed that I would be taken by bus to the compound, this in itself was not a problem, however my car hire started from the moment I signed on the dotted line at the airport desk and I did not actually drive the car away until more that half an hour later. This then meant I had to return the car half an hour earlier than I planned causing more waiting time in the airport than was necessary. There were numerous scratches on the vehicle and the emblem missing from the back none of which were itemised on the contract and as we were told to just drive away before taking photos that is what we did but I hope that there are no arguments now about the condition of the vehicle as no staff member came out to the car with us. As this was my first time in Ireland I was concerned about the toll situation and it would have been nice to know at the beginning of the car hire that the tolls are charged to my credit card at the end of the hire period.

Also car had a warning light on the dash so had not been properly inspected. Turned out to be a low pressure light for the tyre so would have been easy to fix either by inflating or replacing. "

" I am a fan of Auto-Europe and use them on all my rental bookings. My preferred rental company is Budget, but I generally go with the cheapest offering for a mid-size 4 door unless there is little difference in price, in which case I chose Budget. "
" Everything was very polished, professional and friendly, I was very satisfied. Only one thing I did not like - I prefer it if your booking envelope gave a piece of paper indicating any existing damage. I do not have a good smartphone, not access to the internet in my destination, so I have no record against which I can check existing damage on the car before leaving the rental location. There was no problem on my return with Budget, but I have experienced problems with several rental companies in the past. I preferred to older method where any damage was noted on paper at the time of pick-up. Could this not be done with a 'print screen' facility at the counter? "

" A little worrisome when I have to record damage to a car and drive away without anyone in Budget acknowledging the damage. "
" I was informed at the check-in bookings office that the car had "no damage" - when I collected the car, I was asked for the form where dents and scratches are recorded. I didn't have this form, nor was it ever presented to me (except in electronic form which I received subsequently. I was told to record any damage before driving away. This I did....but I just want to highlight that there were a LOAD of scratches and dents on the car... Obviously the "no damage" attestation needs to be amended on this particular car, or the next hirer might not be as observant and will drive away only to be charged on their return for pre-existing damage "

" Worst car hire experience of my life!! I paid for full insurance cover when I booked the car online. For Budget to then inform me that I'm actually not covered with them is ridiculous. And it's also ridiculous Budget can't provide basic windscreen cover! A 200mm crack in the windscreen due to a stone chip thrown up by another vehicle is completely outwith my control! Further, at no time during collection of the vehicle did your staff mention the insurance cover I have paid for would not be honoured by Budget. This was not damage caused by careless or poor driving, this was a stone thrown up which is not an unusual occurrence. That is why insurance companies cover windscreens and charge a minimal excess. For Budget to then charge me over €731 is a scandal! An absolute disgrace, shocking service and an unbelievable disregard for paying customers. I will be making this as public as possible in the hope that other customers will not get robbed by Budget for events that they have no control over. "

I chose to use your company solely on this option - your costs were higher than other services, but I felt that the easy in terminal pickup was worth it. I had actually used your services once before (last year) and collected the car in terminal, but I found out on Thursday that this was soley down to the Budget staff arranging for a car to be available for me in terminal. This wasn't an option for them on Thursday. You're mis-selling your services and I won't be using your company again. "

" I dont know what you want me to put in here but I wasn't very happy with Budget and I would like this to be fed back to them about the way I was treated. Also with regards to Autoeurope, Budget says that third party car rentals are not picked up on site but that parking is reserved for their own customers. So this should be looked at as I booked the car as I thought I was picking it up on terminal and therefore be quicker to get home after a long day travelling. "
" When I booked my rental from T2, Budget was not the cheapest rental company, but a recognisable quality brand and the car was indicated to be on terminal for a quick pick up. On arriving 2 men at the budget/alamo kiosk. were chatting quite friendly. I presented my voucher to the younger man with brown hair (mark?) I was told I had to get a bus to another desk where I would be dealt with. I asked why as I was expecting to pick up the car on terminal.. He was heavy handed with his response, It was not the content but the manner and tone in the way he delivered his response being a bit aggressive. I could only have that if I booked direct. Whatever way I booked I believe the service operative should deliver customer service with the minimum of polite interaction with a customer. The difference how he spoke to his collegue and me (the customer) was quite apparent, friendly chat to his mate on the bench and another reflecting a nonexistent need to give customer service to those who booked via a third party. There was then a big line of people at the bus stop and was informed the next bus would be there in 20 mins as he was the only driver - so I was to the depot rather than stand around in the cold. I was given a big car which I said I didnt want but there were no cars left but I could pay extra and get an smaller automatic. Thankfully I was able to change the car the next day but again I had to go to dublin airport. However it was very busy and I queued at desk when I eventually got served I was told to go back and hand the car back to be checked first. Then when I went to the return booth they were sending me to the other desk when I said I had been and was told to come down here. So experience was not great, could have been a bit more helpful on the car return as I had called so could have made it a bit smoother/quicker for me. Though I really feel that the budget personnel I first encountered should be sent to some type of customer service and maybe an anger management class of some description. I would like someone to acknowledge this incident because it really upsets me that someone think that its normal to speak to someone like that. "

As I arrived to collect the hire car everything seemed fine and then as I handed over my credit cart to take the £1500 Deposit!!!!

It was to reimburse any loss/damage I first had to pay them. They wanted more to insure against that happening first. In addition I arranged through you for a car with Sat Nav - it was not fitted and they had the Garmin GPS available but only if I paid them a substantial daily rate in addition to what I had already paid you.

I had a puncture unfortunately within the first 24 hours, it would have been helpful if there was a quick guide as to what to do in the event of: eg a puncture ( who to contact, should it be repaired before returning), how to contact the breakdown ( even if it simply told you to refer to the AA sticker in the LHS top right corner of the screen) The filling station closest to the Dublin airport is unusual as you have to drive through the airport to get to it.

When we arrived at the collection centre we were allocated our car and told where it was located, the assistant said it was Blue we could not find it in the location it was more light mauve. A cleaner said it was not in that location and got us to walk to the front of the building with our cases he could not locate the car and went off with the keys so say to enquire after nearly 10 minutes i had to go back to the desk only to find he had left the keys and disappeared eventually the assistant took us to the car which was in the original location. a better colour description would have helped. I also feel that some signed paperwork confirming that no charges are required once the car has been inspected on return would be helpful "

Seemed to know where to look for this damage immediately on inspection as it's not visible without touching the tyre. I know as a matter of fact I didn't damage the tyre. Then they charge over €200 for a tyre which in reality costs €100. I doubt they've changed the tyre and the next customer will pay for the same tyre scratch. "

We were charged over €300 which was eventually reduced to €160 to get a car upgraded to a vw touran and had to go to sixt headquarters where we found the assistant had changed the car to a golf.The manager changed it back to a vw touran and all staff there were very helpful. From a simple car pickup to getting on the road was herendus and spoilt our long weekend for all our family, plus the extra expense which wasn't catered for, there was no PR at all from the airport counter people. very very disappointed, will not use them again for sure.

" The car was a disgrace. I appreciate that I selected a compact car (Renault Clio or similar) however I was given a Skoda Citigo - which I am sure does not fit into the same category as a compact car (more economy/mimi in my opinion). I was travelling with a small child who still requires the use of a pram and it barely fit into the boot, this would not be a problem in a Clio sized vehicle. The car also cost me as much as previous rentals where I have benefitted from a larger car. Definitely not value for money! "

I discovered at the counter that they could not let me leave with this "basic" cover. This is not good. I had paid for a basic service, and expected as such, but was denied this as they Thrifty would not allow it. The booking process does not make it clear that you will either need to block out an extortionate amount of money on a card or you will need to take out additional insurance.

" Overall the process of returning, refunds for fuel etc was great but other than the issues we had I would recommend the service just advocate and be firm on what it is you want from a car rental "
" On picking the vehicle up we were not told which line to be in as we had already paid for everything at the counter in Dublin Airport... we didn't know there was 2 lines and there was no one directing us to the pickup line or adequate signage to say as much ... when I asked if I could have a car with Apple CarPlay or a sat nav in it they had no idea what I was talking about and eventually I gave up trying to explain it I had reported this to the guys at the counter on returning the vehicle but the vehicle was a very tough ride the clutch was very springy and unless you are doing leg day every day would have been difficult to manage I ended up with a sore back and left leg constantly changing gears. Normally I have no problems with hire cars and changing gears because I'm British and learned on a manual transmission. The car apparently was also only a year old but sounded like it had been run into the ground. "

" Budget & Avis are linked & whenever we have had vehicles with them there always to be conditions & I don't want the aggravation of chasing the renter for refunds of our monies that they hold as a ransom. Not a seemless relaxing event!!! "
" Although I had additional insurance through your company. Budget took a 1,500.00 euro holding from my credit card. It then took numerous emails to their customer service to be advised that the refund could take up to 15 days & was the CC company that takes that long to apply the refund. I also had to pay for fuel but on return with a full tank of petrol the refund was applied & took 3 days to be credited against their charge. At No time did the booking clerk at collection advise on the delays in returning my monies nor did the clerk at returns advise that the 1,500.00 euros credit would take up to 15 days. When we rent from you again please advise what the renter will apply these conditions on collection of the car!!! "

" Be careful when choosing the 'super cover' or extra insurance. When booking through a third party this is with that company rather than with Thrifty. When you go to the thrifty counter you then are offered their own cover which is very expensive at €22 per day. The other option is €1600 hold on your credit card for the excess. You can't avoid this with any of the car companies so it's up to you which choice you go for. I would also check with your own insurance company if they would cover you. "

" I wasn't told the fuel deposit was charged, rather just a pre-authorisation like this insurance - this resulted in card fees for both the charge and the refund. Had it been made clear I could have chosen another payment method. (Not that I was told until pickup the fuel charge was a thing). I felt I got a lower standard of car (tatty) by choosing a cheaper provider instead of going to Budget direct. The car was not well maintained or checked as I has a type pressure warning within 10 minutes of leaving the depot.

So much so That we didn't get more than a mile from the collection point before we had to bro g the car back as there was plastic parts from underneath the car scraping along the road. Second car was running poorly with a clearly loose fan belt. Strong smell of burning clutch throughout our hire. We've had a good experience with Sixt in the past but this time was extremely disappointing. "

I found the staff most unhelpful, with one chap on the desk even failing to describe how you had to take a bus to collect the keys and the car. Had to wait for over 50mins for a car and only got a car because I went back up to the desk. Chaos. Short staffed and taken too many car orders. Will NEVER use budget again. "

I was under the impression that I owed nothing at the desk at Dublin airport. As information was not clear to me I believe there has been a breach in GDPR and would like this investigated as soon as possible.

" No problem with Auto Europe-an easy to use website. I would be interested to hear your comments about the service I received from Budget. "
" The car I was given had over 110,000 km. on the clock. Despite having taken out extra insurance cover Budget blocked out 1500 euro on my credit card and I'm still waiting for that to be removed. During our trip the Stop/Start System Alarm came on and thereafter was on most of the time, obscuring the digital speedometer. My son-in-law, who also had a Budget rental, had an oil pressure warning light which caused him to call out roadside assistance on Christmas Day. His car was also overdue for a service and when he returned it at Dublin Airport he was given a partial refund on his hire cost. I reported the fault with my car when I returned it but was offered no refund. Overall not a good experience and I will not be using Budget again if that is the standard of their cars. "

Next time I will book the car for later, so as to get a little more time for returning it. They took the cost of a full tank of petrol from my credit card (not merely holding the credit) and took a couple of days to refund it - funny how charges take less time to process than refunds.

" Counter staff at actual pick up point of car (not at the desk in Dublin Airport) were not great - almost like it was a real chore to be having to deal with a customer at 20:30 at night. A smile would be a great welcome to someone who has been travelling for the whole day, been delayed and also just wants to get to their final destination. I would have also expected someone to escort me out to the car to inspect it with me to ensure there were no issues and also to explain that the car I was hiring had an integrrated safety system for the ignition rather than me spend 15 minutes wondering why the car wouldn't start to then have to go back out into the cold wet weather to the office to ask if I was doing something wrong. Basic Customer service in my book. I also feel that the excess amount that is 'blocked' on your card is somewhat excessive.

" I'm really angry about the whole thing & will be contacting citizens advice. "
" I arranged the rental of a car, in my husband's name, to be collected from Dublin Airport. The agreement stated that we must present a credit card in his name when we collected the car, which we did. He was then asked to enter the PIN number for this card, which he doesn't know and the only resolution we were offered was to use a debit card & take out full insurance at a further cost of £111. We were told there was nothing else to be done & this was our only option. Later I realised that actually there were other options. I'd offered to add my name to the driver agreement & use my own credit card, but was told I couldn't do this. No one thought to offer us a brand new agreement in which I was the primary driver & could then use my credit card. There was also the option of entering my husband's credit card details manually (as you would if paying over the phone). I am really angry that no other options were presented to us, despite us following the guidelines & instructions & the only outcome the salesman was willing to consider cost us 3 times the original car rental cost.

" I went with the price "
" I queued up at the airport desk and when I got seen I was told that I didn't need to queue and need to take the bus directly to the pick up point. There was a bigger queue here and it was a bit disorganised with queues for four or five different counters. when i eventually got there was given a car that had a lot of scratches and dents and was dirty inside with soil marks and and bird poo on the inside of the driver window. When i went back to tell them about it they swapped the car over and gave me another car. This one had more dents including one on the number plate area. I was worried about getting blamed for them when I bring it back as there was no one who checked the car over with me and just a few notes made on the inspection sheet in advance. it wasa two year old car with 102K miles on it and the wipers (I realized this later) kept banging on to the side edge of the windscreen. The operation felt like a conveyor belt and they seemed more interested in getting the cars in and out. This was quite a different experience from the others I have used before. In my previous renting in Dublin (with Enterprise)I had a brand new car with less than 400 miles and price wise it was cheaper too.Drop off was smoother experience. "

" The exerience is easy enough. one point though is greater clarity over insurance as to whether the claim back insurance is included or not. and clearer information as to the paperwork that accompanies it. "
" I had to return the first vehicle given to me after driving it just one hundred yards as there was a loud mechanical groaning noise from the rear of the car. Probably a bearing, definitely not the engine. The return was handled efficiently and I was given a free upgrade for which I am grateful and that car was fine and in good condition. I expressed concern that the first car would require a check over and sought to be reassured that it wouldn't just be put back in the system to be hired to another person without mechanical attention. I did not however get such an assurance which would cause me worry not only about other hirers but whether the I would be given a car in the future which has potential defects not looked at. A verbal reassurance that the car would be taken off the road until it was looked at would go a long way to giving confidence for future hires. One more small thing. I would prefer budget to automatically take the M50 toll as other hirers do rather than have to go online ad do it myself after the return. "

" Good service from Autoeurope but totally disappointment with budget desk staff at pick up. "
" We forgot to bring our 2 children car booster seats so we had to hire with budget. We were told that the cost of the hire for the car seat was going to be almost TWICE as expensive as the actual car hire. To any normal person that would sound extraordinarily expensive and disproportionate but staff at pick up didn't care about how we felt, they were making jokes about our disappointment in having to pay so much for such a cheap item. the person who served us didn't want hear about our surprise with the booster seats price he wasn't friendly at all if anything he was hostile. Then our intermediate car arrived but the clutch wasn't working properly. We were about to travel on the motorway with 2 children and it was already late night. The staff gave us the excuse that certain cars have the clutch running out quicker than others however we expected the car to be checked before we arrive. They replaced the car but it delayed us even more. Not ideal after a long journey with flight delays and tired children. We as a family have in the past 9 years hired many cars and we never have experienced anything like how it was this time. Overall a disproportionate cost of booster seat hire, very unfriendly staff at the desks, disappointing car checks and unnecessary delay. "

It was a 62 reg Capture and had 93km on the clock - it drove like it had triple that. There was also a lot of damage on the vehicle and as mentioned, I had to send through additional pictures so i would not be liable.

With us having to get a shuttle bus, this meant my infant child had to sit on on my knee during the transfer on public roads in the mini bus. Is that even legal in Ireland? "
" The car wasn't checked prior to collection and was not road worthy. The car warned "car inoperable in 70km" due to low adblue. Most cars give a 1000 mile warning due to low adblue. We were attending a wedding on a tight seclude, with around 5-6 hours of driving to complete over the weekend.

" It would have been better if I'd known about the I insurance cost. I felt I was being ripped off as I had to pay almost as much as the car hire to ensure I was adequately covered. However the Yaris Hybrid was lovely to drive. I was confused that when I set up my iPhone as satnav if it was being charged there was no sound. I discovered by accident that when I unplugged the charger I got sound back - which really helped trying to get to my destination. Helen "

This time I was advised I had to take the shuttle bus to the offsite pick up when I had specifically requested on terminal pick up and paid more than I had to from other "off site" providers. Took 20 minutes for the shuttle to arrive, then spent another 50 minutes waiting to be dealt with and then sat in a waiting room waiting for the car. Was promised an upgrade and then just got a beat up Seat. Service was hectic and unorganized. Two experiences that were wildly different. "

" The staff is friendly and helpful, and I liked they don't push you to buy any extras, but they have a policy that requires two deposits: the usual 1500 EUR and another 82.50 for petrol.

I tried to negotiate another fuel policy (like buying the petrol from them) but they didn't allow that, so I was stuck there for two hours while I was trying to reach my bank in another time zone.

" You need to take greater care to ensure details appearing where hire companies are compared are accurate. If the hire is at the terminal then that's where the car and pick up should be. If hire companies do not provide specific cars when one has chosen a more expensive option within a class then you should list only by class with an illustration of which cars might be supplied, "
" Given I required an expedite drop off at the airport I took the liberty of telephoning Budget Eire to confirm that, as both their and the consolidators websites suggest, I could both collect and drop-off at the terminal car park rather than the hire compound serviced via the mini bus service. I was told this was possible. That, it transpired on arrival, was an utter lie. The in-terminal desk might as well not exist other than to direct one to the minibus rank from which you'll have to allow up to an hour before you'll be on the road. Transport is cattle-truck and on the short journey back it was a miracle the 'man on mission' behind the wheel didn't cause two high speed accidents. Got soaked waiting to collect, long delay, many customers and little cover or transport. Other hire companies appeared to provide larger and more frequent transport. When hiring a vehicle you might as well always choose the cheapest in class as Budget will invariably play the 'or similar' card. In my case I ended up with a Seat Ibiza, a car I know from previous hires should be avoided at all costs if, like me, you hate having random warning indicators flashing the dashboard every other minute. This time I spent pretty much 3 days being distracted by warning indicators telling me the front assist system was decativing itself, not surprising given the stupid design and location of the sensor. Note for all hires from the main compound when returning there isn't a petrol station for love nor money, so you're pretty much obligated to incur the excessive charges you'll get stung for - probably why Budget insist on taking a petrol charge in advance in addition to the excess cover. They don't bother to inform of the dearth of service stations, I wonder why? "

" I have commented at considerable length in section 3 above, and my comments apply to both Budget and Auto Europe. I visit Dublin several times a year, hiring a car on each occasion. I would be prepared to do business with Auto Europe again if you can make a significant gesture to assuage my annoyance and disappointment, but if not, you can say goodbye to my business. "
" I booked a LAND ROVER FREELANDER or similar, as advertised by Auto Europe. I was attracted to this advertisement because I normally drive an Audi Q5 at home and the prospect of driving a fairly good quality 4x4 while on holiday was very appealing, although a Freelander would obviously not be as good as a Q5. Nevertheless the Freelander had a very good reputation. One of my partners at work has a Freelander and she speaks very highly of it. When I went to collect the hire car in Dublin, I discovered that I had been allocated a basic model Kia Sportage, which fell far short of what I had been led to expect when I booked a Land Rover Freelander (or similar). I expressed my dissatisfaction and disappointment to the member of staff on the desk at Budget but she was completely uninterested in trying to generate customer satisfaction, and she merely told me that the car I was being given was in the same class as the one that I had booked. As we were very tired from having to get up so early for our flight, and we just wanted to get to my sister's house, I did not have the energy for a big fight so I reluctantly accepted the car that I had been given. The Sportage turned out to have a large number of scratches at multiple locations, some of which were not marked on the documentation that I had been given, so I had to go back in and get the extra ones marked in, in case I got the blame for them when I returned the car at the end of the week. Later, I looked up the Freelander on the Internet, and I found that it went out of production in 2014 (which I didn't know at the time of booking) so it was impossible from the outset that I could ever have been given a Freelander! There should be at least some chance that I could have been given the car that was advertised – in the case of the Freelander, there was never any chance that I was going to get this car. As the companies do not hire out cars that are four years old or more, you should not be advertising cars that cannot possibly be supplied to the customer. I must say that your advertising in this respect is misleading to the point of misrepresentation. You advertised a vehicle that was going to be impossible to provide to the customer, and then I was provided with something that I regard as being far inferior, and also which had numerous scratches and abrasions to the paintwork. While not exactly dirty on the inside, the car was very "grotty" internally and seems much more tired and worn out than its 2018 number-plate would have suggested. I was really very annoyed with what I felt to be misrepresentation and I was very disappointed with the car. At least it drove properly and did not give me any mechanical trouble during the holiday, although I only drove it enough to use a quarter tank of fuel. My recent very negative experience of Auto Europe was in contrast to my previous experience with your company. I am a return customer, and I returned to Auto Europe because the last time I hired a car from you I was very pleased with both the price and with the vehicle. I completely understand that when I book a certain vehicle "or similar" I am quite likely to get the "similar" vehicle, and this is perfectly acceptable provided that the "similar" vehicle is genuinely equivalent to the "headline" vehicle. I have usually found the "similar" vehicle to be acceptable. For example on a previous holiday we booked something like a Nissan Qashqai (or similar) and we were given a Volkswagen Tiguan instead- this was a perfectly fair replacement.I am not now inclined to do business with you again unless you can make a significant gesture to allay my disappointment, which significantly marred the whole holiday as I felt irritated and let down each day when I drove the car. When hiring a car from a company like Budget at an attractive price, I know that I'm not going to get a gold plated Rolls-Royce, but I have always been fairly pleased in the past; but definitely not so on this occasion. What can you do to put this right? "

" My credit card was declined when I came to pay the 1500 deposit. When I asked if I could pay with my debit card I was informed that this was only acceptable if I also took out the insurance. I wasn't prepared to take out the insurance as I had my own private cover. Please explain why a debit card is acceptable if the additional insurance is taken out and why it is not acceptable to use if the insurance is declined? I had to phone my bank to get an increase in credit on my card. The car was 3 years old and had seen better days. The seat was very uncomfortable as it was worn out. All in all, a poor experience. "

" Disappointed with Sixt, Auto europe fine. "
" Far more damage to the car than noted on the hire sheet, which meant a whole lot of photos. Refused to exchange car but advised to send photos to their website which we did taking about an hour to do. The outside was scratched all over with many small dents and damaged body, mirror, bumpers, and scratches around the boot. Interior was dirty, hadn't been vacuumed, seats were grubby, stained and dirty and the front panel was scratched all over presenting a poor image. After we had driven away we realised the front foot well carpet was soaking wet, and later found the rear carpet was also wet because it damaged our maps. The car mechanically and its drivability was very good. By buying the fuel up front ie. full to empty you save 35% on fuel costs as long as you use it, thats good but they could still refund what was left. We have to ask if we were given a second class car because we booked through 'Auto europe' however we have had many positive bookings with other companies previously with 'Auto europe'. "

I booked a full size 7 seater they where trying to pam me off with 5+2 vehicle i could of hired for £485 not £785 i had already paid. So with my bad mobility i had to walk back to the customers service desk to be told that the clark at the desk gave me the wrong vehicle! I was messed round for another hour to be told they did not have a full size 7 seater! I said to the assistant they will have to find one for me , so he go's off again to speak to his management and returns after another 30 minutes to tell me they have found a full size 7 seater but it would not be ready for another 45 minutes ! so i said we will wait for it to arrive, we where told they would get us some tea while we were waiting but nothing turned up not even a glass of water ! in the meantime one of my passenger who is a diabetic when into hypo! to be told my a member of staff there is a drinks machine over there you can use if you have got change. After over three hours we finally collected the vehicle we should have got in the first place. After all the hassle at the car collection point , I feel I should be refunded at least 25% of my rental . Kind Regards Eugene Sweeney "

" JUST WILL NOT USE FLIZZR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
" I have hired cars all over the world and this was by far worst company to hire from. Waited nearly half an hour for pickup at airport (appeared to have one small mini-bus and could not get on first pick-up due to number waiting). All other car hire companies had a multitude of buses at a far more regular basis. On arrival had a long cue and on average were taking over 20mins to sort car per customer. Even when I got to front girl then explained they had to try and source me a suitable car (again even though my booking had been done many weeks in advance and they knew I was coming!). When I commented that their car lot was full of SUVs girl made an excuse that they were all automatics. When I then commented I was happy to pay extra if it meant I could get my car quicker she then said none were available!!!!. From getting out of airport and getting my car took over 1.5hrs! When car came someone had sprayed with water in a very bad attempt at cleaning (or covering up scratches!). Last trick was that car fuel tank was not completely full and needle sitting short of full mark (probably saving then at least £5 of fuel), if doing for every car this is a great scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also had to insist someone walk round car with me and mark up damage as paperwork in car was blank. NOT BEST START TO HOLIDAY AND VERY STRESSED BY TIME I HAD LEFT THEIR SITE! "

I didn't accept their insurance as I had independently booked excess insurance of my own, however I didn't appreciate the disingenuous sales technique. Similarly I was offered Sat Nav at the counter and again by the assistant handing over the car. I again declined this addition only to find the vehicle had Sat Nav installed as standard!

" They gave me a two door car not a 4 door. The replacement was damaged yet the documentation implied that it was not, it was dark and I was fortunate that I spotted the damage before I drove away. Because of all these issues it took over an hour to get on the road, I only hired a car for the supposed convenience and speed! The car was supposed to have a full tank of petrol yet within 2 or 3 kilometres the gauge showed a quarter tank was gone. Upon return the refund to my credit card was lower than the amount charged due to the exchange rate, this may have caused me additional credit card charges, I am waiting for my credit card company to confirm this fact. I will never use Budget or Avis again if I can avoid it. "
" Very friendly, helpful and efficient "
" Very good prices compared to other agents "
" Very efficient on pick up and drop off, though did have to point out some rather noticeable damage to the staff that hadn't been already noted on the records. Other than that, it was very good. Would use again. "
" Looked after by a fantastic lady called Hilda "
" insurances is a nightmare!!!!!! "
" very good. "
" your service is advertised as "in airport" so I did not expect a shuttle bus. Flying these days is not a pleasant experience-queue after queue-and another "leg" although small is aggravating. The booking had been made by my wife with her credit card.She was present with me but her credit card was not acceptable. This led to further expense and I cannot see what was unacceptable about her credit card as the security you require. "
" Apart from comments made above, I found your service from all employees frindly and courteous. I would not recommend SIXT but could change my mind if I receive a satisfactory explanation reference the points made above-i.e location and my wife's credit card. "
" cheap,quick and efficient "
" Took out extra insurance cover with you , only to be told when I arrived that budget didn't recognise anyone else's cover so had to pay a further charge . This upset me and spoilt my break . Staff rude and unhelpful . "
" Don't charge customers twice for the same service . Will not use again and considering referring to trading standards . "
" None, it's a very efficient and useful service. "
" Worked well, speedy and friendly checkin. Good car. Only problem was I couldn't start it - ignition doesn't work without clutch pedal depressed. Exactly the opposite of what I was taught to do many years ago. Would be handy to have hints at the counter of anything quirky on the car you have been assigned. Otherwise, very positive experience. "
" Good car However had to wait for a long time for shuttle bus from airport terminal "
" Only one shuttle bus serving two terminals ?? "
" Very quick with dealing with the customer..nice friendly guy from Wexford behind the desk "
" Quick and easy "
" First car we got was damaged. "
" Yet again very straight forward and easy to book. "
" Quick transfer out and back from car pick up area, drivers pleasant and smartly dressed. Car was virtually brand new, so perfect. "
" Luggage space - as well as suitcases, maybe a good idea to also state how many rucksacks would fit in the boot, thanks "
" All good , just a bit of a wait while others were being sorted on a busy morning in Dublin. Staff polite and efficient and helpful. Early moring drop off was good but need to explain that the keys need to be dropped to the service desk in the main airport building. I will know fo rnext tjme. "
" Not really a problem with SIXT in particular, more a general complaint about CDW. The collision damage waiver for 5 days hire was around Euro150, otherwise there is an excess of Euro1400. We have taken out separate CDW for 1 year for £49.99. However, without SIXTs CDW, the car is carefully inspected on its return and a tiny indentation in the door was found. I photographed scratches on the car when I picked it up and inspected it before the return. I did not spot the indent on either occasion (it is barely visible on the photos I took of it). I am waiting to hear if SIXT will follow this up but, either way, the delay, extra paperwork and stress makes me think that I will drive my own car in Ireland rather than hire in the future. "
" Very efficient. Everything worked well. "
" Straightforward, friendly, good service. "
" Most times I have booked car hire through you (in particular Budget), the car hire company has tried to charge me for items supposedly covered by the voucher (airport surcharge, road fund, winter tyres, etc, etc). This time was no different. You should not be letting the care hire companies get away with this. "
" Dishonest car hire company. Damage to car not marked on damage report and attempt to overcharge items. "
" GOOD SERVICE. BUT WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND EXCESS WAIVERS. "
" HAD TO ARRANGE TOLL PAYMENTS MYSELF, USUALLY TAKEN AUTOMATICALLY ON CREDIT CARD INFO SUPPLIED. ALSO BELIEVE I WAS OVERCHARGED ON DEISEL USED. THEY SAID THEIR RATES WERE COMPETITIVE WITH LOCAL GARAGES BUT THE ESTIMATED TOTAL CHARGE FOR FULL TANK WAS 75 EUROS, THEY MARKED MY RETURN TANK AT SEVEN EIGHTHS BUT I WAS CHARGED 13.12 EUROS. I ESTIMATE IT TO BE MORE LIKE 9.38 EUROS. SO I PROBABLY WOULDNT BOOK THROUGH AUTO EUROPE IN FUTURE IF IT WAS WITH AVIS. "
" On arrival at the rental desk I found out (annoyingly) that the price I paid online bears no relevance to the price I was asked to pay in person. "
" - The car that was given to me for hire was damaged before I even started to drive it, and had to be repaired before I could leave the car hire area. This caused a delay and I would have preferred to simply be given a replacement car instead - When I returned the car I was told nothing at all about any outstanding charges, other than by a small piece of paper handed to me quickly on departure - which again didn't relate to my Auto Europe booking online. "
" My experience during booking was good but the problems started when I went to pick up the car. Firstly although my booking confirmed that everything was paid I was told that this only included basic insurance. This meant a £1750 excess that had to be taken in advance and held. It would only be returned when the car was returned and no issues encountered. On top of that I had booked an Opel Insignia but I was only offered a Toyota Corolla class vehicle. When I queried this I was told that was a higher class and not what was booked. On this point I would like a refund to cover this difference in vehicle made available by Enterprise. "
" The key issue is the surprise of the insurance cost. In fact the additional insurance I had to take to reduce the excess from £1750 to £250 cost me more than the rental. Also, I wasn't offered the tyre insurance and the car was not filled when I collected it. "
" Easy to use and book. "
" Picked us up from airport and took us to car. Quick and easy to get going. "
" Over priced insurance Insurance for windscreen Insurance to cover excess Insurance to cover tyres Insurance to cover insurance Worked out to about £60.00 a day £12 what a joke "
" Auto Europe got me a great deal with sixt who in turn looked after me extremely well with no problems whatsoever. Always a pleasure to deal through Auto Europe. "
" A pleasure to deal with and a superb car for our trip to Dublin. "
" Very friendly and efficient staff "
" Very helpful and efficient staff "
" Terrible insurance policy, 100% cornering people into paying you more money and giving them no option but to do so. Disgusting! "
" Did everything they could to help the disgusting situation AutoEurope put me in "
" Very poor, waiting for 1 hour in queue,even though there were only 7 people in front of me. Then 15min for bus to pick up car, then 15min wait for keys. Would never ever use SIXT again....totally incompetent amateurs.not one member of staff thought there was any problem... Must be the Norm "
" Maybe people need to be aware of the ridiculous amounts of money they add for insurances when u go to collect the car, had to pay another £223.00. "
" Normally use Auto-Europe, like the fact you are told when searching for deals which company reservation is with. Apart from at the busiest times (August) deals are good. "
" Customer service on the whole was good although I prefer Hertz due to the email of car condition. Biggest issue was that I booked Golf or similar, admittedly the cheapest version, booking said class C basic, but they gave me a Kia Rio, they rate as C1 but don't list on their website. I expected something a bit better but it was in decent condition, only done 5000km and did the job. "
" we were not happy with service, we had to make extra payments, had to wait a long time at collection office, and did not get car we had ordered. "
" not satisfied. we did not get car we had ordered, had to have other model, and pick up service was slow. had to make extra payments. "
" Very friendly and helpful lady at Dublin airport desk. "
" No issues. "
" Everything as it should be. "
" Booking process was easy and efficient with plenty of choice of car and price. "
" Staff at the airport and location were helpful and efficient. "
" Very easy to change booking to bigger car "
" Need to ensure car is full on pick up when chosen full/full fuel option. Other than that a very efficient service. "
" On returning car I queued in reception to have my car inspected prior to completing contract and people who arrived after me had their cars inspected prior to coming in to reception and were dealt with quicker. Maybe a system should be in place for queuing to return the vehicle such as a ticket system used in supermarkets. However all Budget staff were professional and friendly, a great advert for the company. By far the best experience of car hire at Dublin I have had in several visits. "
" Had to pay extra as only had a debit card not a credit card - blatent rip-off. "
" it has to control how its car providers behave and ask them why they do not accept CREDIT CARD which are credit card and not debit card!!! "
" they did not give me the car that i have booked and already payed because they said that my credit card was a debit card (but this is not true because i gave them a credit card) For this reason they said that i had to go to the nearby supplier that gave me a car which i paid again ...and a lot of money , 270 euros for four days ( this time my credit car was a good credit card)!!! "
" Great price on a rental! "
" Very polite and helpful. The bus driver even taught us a little about driving in Ireland! "
" Although the car had many scratches on it the staff came out checked car and said it was ok. Its was a clean car and I had no other issues with it. All staff were polite and helpful. "
" pleasant & welcoming staff "
" I have used Autoeurope many times and have never been disappointed. "
" As always. excellent service from Enterprise at Dublin Airport. "
" Quick and easy booking and payment, seamless collection and return of vehicle. "
" Seamless collection and return of vehicle, offered upgrade / accepted to Diesel Renault Fluence. Excellent service "
" I was told that the insurance could be paid for in cash when I picked up the car but I was told I could only pay when I returned the car which meant it had to go on my card and I was charged 5 euro for paying by card. I would not use them again "
" I was a little nervous with regard to how you have to agree to damage already on the car before taking it - you just sign a screen rather than get a paper print out that you can check against. It means you can not really remember all the marks, bumps etc when you see the car as you have nothing in your hand to check it against. I don't agree with this method. Other than that Thrifty were fine. "
" The car you supplied was in a poor state with about 7 dents and scratches identified in advance which made me very nervous at the beginning that I would be accused of creating dents. Not a great way to start your holiday. The parcel shelf on the back of car was broken and would not lie flat throughout our trip. "
" Shuttle service from airport rather confusing and waiting time was longer than I would have liked "
" Everything very straigjforward "
" Everything very straightforward Only issue was the blocking of the credit card, I knew about the 1600 euros for the excess as it is on booking form but 122 euros is also blocked for fuel. When I asked why this much, I was told it was that they charged 2 euros per litre + a 9 euro administration charge. I stated the car only had a tank of 42 litres which would make a total charge of 92 euros. They then said it was an average charge for all their cars which is ridiculous of course, but it was a case of that or no car. Would not pick thrifty as first choice in future "
" The best car hiring experience thus far. Staff were extremely helpful, polite and friendly. The vehicle was spotless and matched the size and capabilities advertised. "
" Slow customer service in picking up car. "
" Always good prices, and very helpful if you have any questions. "
" There was no screen wash in washer bottle, did not discover until I needed it driving to my destination. Something that could be overlooked. Staff all very helpful on site. "
" Process was as described. "
" Thrifty is part of Hertz now. Was offered a upgrade to a Mondeo at a reasonable rate. The Mondeo proved to be an excellent and very economical car. Try one! "
" Simple & very efficient online booking service .. "
" I hired the Audi A6 S Line & have to say it was perfect . The car was clean & lived up to my high expectations. The online booking was easy & very clear . Returning the car was fast & efficient . Within minutes of dropping the car off I was back in T1 by means of a fast transfer bus with friendly helpfull staff to hand . "
" Excellent customer service - friendly and helpful staff "
" Vehicle lost all 'electrics'; had to be replaced. As a consequence one of my days in Dublin was completely disrupted. "
" Great service (again!) by Chris. "
" Brilliant. Quick, efficient, no-hassle. Thanks a lot. Will be using you again, and will tell my colleagues how good the service was. "
" Brilliant. Quick, efficient, no-hassle. Thanks a lot. Will be using you again, and will tell my colleagues how good the service was. Staff were quick and efficient on getting us sorted out with a car, and when we returned it was even quicker. Great service, thanks. "
" Car was clean and comfortable. "
" All the staff very pleasant and polite "
" Fast & efficient. East to follow website with competitive prices "
" Had booked the car well in advance and was a little dissatisfied with the service. Had to queue for over 15 minutes to be dealt with to pick up pre booked car, car was not ready as had just been returned so had to wait yet another 20 minutes for car to be washed..... which was not worth waiting for as it had looked as if only a hose had been run over it. I cannot understand why having pre booked for a set time, why our car was not available and we had to wait over half an hour at the budget rental area to pick up the car.I know it was a saturday and they were busy but if I had turned uo to start from scratch in booking ok, but not having had a LOT of notice when and where the car was required. On return also slow pick up to return to airpor "
" i forget my xda holder in car if possible please send me on my uk address rest of sixth service was good i recommend it to my friend to experiance thier hestle free service. "
" Keep the customer costs down! "
" I DO wish the deposit taken could be kept the same as the deposit returned - it varies with the currency exchange rate, and it's a lottery over whether I 'win' or 'lose'. I'd rather just not take the risk of the loss... The 'damages' form ALWAYS needs updating before I take the car out - items like kerbed alloys, small bodywork and bumper scuffs, seat stains etc, are never listed, and I feel 'vulnerable' due to not using Budget's excess insurance cover. So I have to list every defect detail every time and get them to sign off on it - which takes TIME. "
" great service from beginning to end. "
" Description of car condition inaccurate. "
" You need to make it much clearer than you must have a credit card when picking up the car. I arrived in Dublin with no credit card ! Do realise now it's in the terms and conditions !! I had to re hire another care through Avis who offer cars without a credit card !!! "
" Comment as above. "
" good website,eat to navigate "
" need to be upfront with costings,they frighten you with the speel about insurance,our £35 car ended up costing £135,and the "Bring back full petrol" is quite mpossable as the nearest filling station on the motorway is 30mls away .they charge nearly double fot the top up____RIP OFF,wont be using againg and have e-mailed all out friends NOT to use. "
" Very pleased with pick-up and drop-off service "
" After a long and painful walk from the plane to Sixt desk (due to a hip problem) It took about 20 mins to arrange my car due to new member of the staff learning the ropes. I did try and keep a stiff upper lip and accepted their apologies! "
" between queuing to be helped by their staff and waiting for the car to be ready it took 45 minutes, not ideal "
" Arrived at 22.30 to collect my VW golf, was informed that no Golf was available so i was allocated a Skoda. Agreed this was ok but they stated they would have to clean it inside and this would take 10 minutes. 30 minutes later the car was still no ready, i stated i would take it no matter how it was now due to it being 23.00. The woman on the counter changed the car to a seven seater Renult senic (which was too big and thirsty) but we just wanted a car so took it and left at 23.15. Not happy "
" The insurance I paid for with auto Europe was basically worthless, I had to buy Avis insurance on top of it, either that or have 1400 euro held on my card... "
" The pick up location miles away from the airport was inconvenient and time consuming and the insurance thing was expensive and annoying but I felt like I was over a barrel "
" Extremely easy and efficient to use "
" Faultless "
" Easy to book and great value for money. "
" Very professional, quick and polite service the best I have had with any car hire. "
" very easy to deal with and very helpful friendly staff "
" very friendly and helpful pure professionalism "
" very helpful at booking stage and great value "
" seamless service. good shuttle driver, very helpful. car was ready and waiting, no waiting around. minor damage to front of car not noted on hire sheet but soon rectified. "
" Perfect service "
" Perfect, car was first class "
" Used Auto Europe many times over several years, always the best prices, very easy and straight forward to book a car with. I have recommended to several friends. "
" As someone who has rented lots of cars, the representative (Kim) on the desk at Dublin airport was one of the clearest, efficient and friendly I have ever dealt with, both on picking up and on return. The car was almost brand new and in perfect condition, will pick Alamo/Enterprise over others in future. "
" Great price, easy booking, what more could you want? "
" Shuttle bus took us to the budget office, virtually no wait and no pressure to take the additional cdw. Car was spot on, no problems whatsoever. Returning the car was just as straightforward, completely hassle free. Shuttle bus then took us to right outside of the terminal. Highly recommend. "
" very good "
" very good "
" All good. Used Auto Europe many times, always a great price. Bought my excess insurance elsewhere on line as it was cheaper. "
" No problems. Would have been good to collect car from multi story car park st airport instead of having to get courtesy minibus to offsite area. "
" The car that we were given was perfect for our family of 4 on our Ireland trip. Drop-off was fast and super easy and the agents were incredibly nice. "
" We will use Thrifty again! "
" Excellent brand new car at a very reasonable price with impressive personal service "
" See above "
" Reasonable cost and good value. Easy to book with. "
" All went very well. The car was more than adequate. The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Thanks. "
" Easy to use website. "
" Charges to switch card that was not advised. 138 for petrol even though car was taken back full. Left me with no funds in account all weekend. 5 card fee for payment for daily insurance. Was again not made aware of that additional charge therefore insurance worked out as 21 rather than 16. I hire a car once per month and will not use Thiffty again. "
" Good price, excellent service, good car. Very straightforward "
" Very good Slightly misleading about office in airport, when in fact it was just someone to direct you to a minibus to ge depot, but all quite quick and efficient. Liked the email with photos of the car damage "
" SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE WITH GREAT RESULTS "
" CAR WAS EXCELLENT AND THE SAT NAV INVALUABLE "
" We needed a small car to get us around. We hired a Nisson Micra which did the job. "
" Bussed from the airport terminal to car pick up point . Speedy process and on the road in no time. Drop off was just as easy Would definitely use again and recommend to others "
" Your service is excellent. In particular, I like the website letting me choose which car hire company to use. A few years ago it was "pot luck" as to which company for which I would be given a voucher. That is still the case for some other companies e.g.Atlas. Having experienced bad service from some car rental co's I do not wish to risk using them again. "
" Excellent service. I have used Avis before and they are always very professional. Special note - I use the M50 when visiting Ireland and therefore have to pay the toll fee. Many car rental co's now charge hirers for the fee - exacting more than the toll fee to cover "admin costs". To add insult to injury I am then charged by my bank for a conversion fee for euro into pounds sterling. No such nonsense with Avis. My advice to other people using your service is to avoid the scam undertaken by other car rental co's.. "
" Very helpful over phone , sorted out unnecessary insurance in very quick time , def use again "
" Very good service "
" I received a confirmation of my excess waiver insurance from Auto-Europe even though I had not booked this offering. I wrote to say I did not want this offer and received confirmation that it had not been charged, but never received an explanation of how this happened. "
" Car was a bit the worse for wear, clearly ready to be sent to auction. There were marks and scrapes all over the car, the clutch was on its last legs and the brakes were not very good. It did not bother me too much as I had only paid a cheap price for the rental, but had I paid full price I would have been fairly dissapointed. "
" Straight forward booking process with no problems. Will use again. "
" Overall good experience although the excess on the cars is astronomical at 2000! "
" Got an excellent deal with Sixt via Auto Europe. "
" Staff were exceptionally nice and helpful in sharp contrast to other firms I have used. Got a free upgrade and the car was excellent,good performance and very comfortable. Petrol tank 'full to full' was very welcome also. "
" Very pleased with your service. "
" Pros -they gave me a much bigger car .Very nice crew-cant argue about price .Cons-Its about the fourth time I have used Budget this year and the condition of the scratches of the cars all round have to be added on the sheet at the start as they conveniently leave it off.I also resent the fact that they take your credit card when you book in to debit the petrol and 1500 euro in £ which they all do anyway.It would be nice for once to have a car without any scratches and with the wheel cap unscratched. "
" So simple and efficient "
" Very efficient, friendly and trouble free "
" Very helpful I've never had an issue and have recommended. "
" Lady at desk was helpful. "
" Very reasonable rate for three days from Dublin. "
" Easy pick up and return and appreciate the fact the motorway toll is taken from your credit card when payment is taken for car hire. A lot easier than phoning to pay. friendly staff and didn't have to wait ages for shuttle bus. Straight on and they drove us two minuted to the Thrifty depot. "
" When booking I was unprepared but unfortunately the lady I spoke to had a poor telephone manner and made a mistake on taking my email so I had to recontact for details. Otherwise all went smoothly. "
" Very quick pick up and drop off. Could have been verbally warned about motorway tolls. Car reliable. "
" Excellent service, no queue at the desk. On arrival on the shuttle bus from the Airport to the Pick-up Office, we were met outside the Office by a member of staff who had our rental agreement prepared and the keys ready to hand over. Couldn't fault Enterprise! "
" All as I expected and would recommend "
" Good eal for a good car "
" i was very happy with the service from Autoeurope, as i value the chance to choose which car rental company i will be booking before i complete the purchase. The quality of service i have recieved from some of the companies has been so bad that i would not be happy to use them again. also, the conditions are clear and easy to follow, and i usually make a significant saving over booking direct. "
" everything as i would hope for. "
" I have recommended you to my friends and we all think you are brilliant. "
" Excellent service and I loved the Corsa x thank you "
" Straight forward car hire experience. Car as described, no unexpected extra charges. Auto Europe have not let me down yet' "
" Avis are a very fair and professional company. The staff at Shannon were very good and helpful and speeded me quickly to the airport as I had got myself late and was in danger of missing my flight ! ! "
" I always use Auto Europe and highly Recommend them "
" Very Pleasant staff. "
" Everything from booking to car collection and drop-off worked smoothly! "
" Quick and very efficient. Very good competitive price. "
" Very fast allowing quick getaway from airport. Avis were friendly and welcoming and as above efficient. Car was as booked. "
" booking is easy and outcome is just as expected. the most important thing about the booking process for me is that i can see who will be providing the vehicle, what the conditions are and that there are no unexpected shocks at the end of the day. "
" the customer focus at Enterprise is head and shoulders above the competition ,especially at Dublin Airport, which is where i usually pick up a vehicle at this time. That is quite an achievement, because, the average standard at Dublin is quite high already. As I have worked in a front-line customer role for more than twenty years myself, I understand that it takes a strong leadership commitment and considerable investment in training to achieve the results achieved in this case, I hope that it is sustained . "
" Sixt were very efficient and all stages went quickly and smoothly. This will probably be due to the fact it was early January and very quiet. A concern was on the paperwork there were no option to note any previous damage to the car as other hire companies do. We had to show the member of staff the damage and get him to write it on our paperwork before we left. We didn't want to be blamed and charged for damage we hadn't done and wasn't noted beforehand so beware of this. "
" Yes the rental was trouble free. The car was a bit naff, there was no heating unless you put the fan up to 4 which was very noisy. "
" Able to get car out of hours and the staff were efficient "
" make it clearer that renting a car is impossible if you don't have a credit card "
" good service "
" Can't fault them, will use again "
" Quick and easy process "
" Easy, quick and competitive prices. "
" Extremely professional from the check in desk calling for your shuttle bus to the driver informing the car depot when you are a few minutes out so that the rep is ready with all your paperwork and keys for the car. Polite and courteous staff at all stages of the handover. On return again a professional service. Minor discussion point would be the price of the fully comprehensive insurance. However this was the best experience I have had with car hire companies. Would definitely recommend Enterprise to all of my friends. Well done. "
" Good one "
" Reliable "
" Good service, great deals and easy to use and get the information. "
" Very good customer service and great attention before and after the renting "
" very competitive "
" excellent car easy process picking up and dropping off "
" I had to cancel my trip ti Ireland at very shot notice. Staff at Autoeurope handled the transfer of my booking to two weeks later in a very satisfactory way. Not only saving me money but also an upgrade of car. Well done. "
" Each experience we have had with Enterprise Dublin Airport has ben excellent. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Always a warm welcome when arriving at Dublin. We will continue to use Enterprise at every opportunity. "
" Fantastic "
" Very nice people "
" displays which company car hire is from. "
" tank not full as should be had to return to fill up. Took card authorisation twice . system problem. still waiting to be rectified. friendly customer service agents. "
" Very happy, easy website to navigate, will definitely use again. "
" Helpful staff, I had a few scratches on the car but went back in before I set off from the desk and they marked on to the docket. Easy to find on way back into Dublin & smooth handover, excess & charge for a full tank of petrol that was blocked off my credit card was refunded immediately once the car was checked. "
" Excellent service can't fault Auto Europe in any way at all. Thank you "
" Excellent service. "
" all good ! "
" charged 40 euro for filling up 1/8 of fuel tank. this is as much as whole rental costed. "
" It good customer service "
" Very good attiude n good staff worth use that hire car "
" The car was clean and reliable but could have done with a good quality road map or atlas "
" Staff were friendly considerate and helpful "
" would be better if at Dublin airport site not a busride to site "
" good value on internet,bit pricey for all inclusive insurance at desk "
" Excellent from booking to return of car. "
" Very happy with the service provided. "
" Excellent value for money. "
" Professional and courteous staff. Easy, quick process to pick up and return car. Staff were friendly & efficient. "
" Easy online booking facility "
" The form filling was unnecessarily slow/cumbersome but the staff were very personable (and on the return the proceedure was very swift and efficient) "
" Need to be able to book the full CDW online & not only at destination "
" They were very helpful & friendly but I was slightly annoyed as I asked for the extra CDW so I didn't have to pay any excess if I had an accident & not only did he add this but he also added personal injury insurance at a cost of 8 euros per day. Unfortunately, I did not notice this charge until I returned home . Also, the car was a Skoda Citigo automatic which was fine for us size wise but the automatic gear transmission was verging on being dangerous! There is a distinctive delay as the car changes gear to the point when your think that the car has actually cut out on you - very unnerving! I think it would be a good idea to withdraw the automatic Citigos. "
" i would have appreciated if the company had pointed out that the toll (i think the M50) needed to be paid either on line or in a shop as it this toll road does not have toll booths and could be easily missed then facing fines "
" too long waiting for bus to get to car hire and also long wait to get to get paperwork completed, also the hire of the sat nav had to return to the desk as it was set to Spanish language, also what i didn't realise was the setting was also set to avoid motorway which put and extra 2 hours onto my trip - you need to reset the sat nag "
" Great service at a great price. "
" Enetrprise's service and vehicle provided were both fantastic. "
" The initial rental price quoted always looks very good, but like all car hire companies.... they want you to buy their insurance cover ( which I suppose is advisable anyway). The only thing is, that if you do decide against taking out the cover, then you must have your credit card swiped. Unfortunately though, not everyone has the available credit balance on their card up to the amount required to cover this, so you inevitably end up purchasing the insurance anyway. Why not just make the cover compulsory. That goes for all car hire companies. But, even though I have had my above gripe, I think that Auto Europe were a decent company to deal with. "
" Overall, I would say that it was a speedy efficient service from Budget. "
" HAVE USED FOR YEARS AND AS ALWAYS STRESS FREE "
" Professional from every point of contact in hiring my car well done "
" All good - easy to use and a good price "
" Swift check in and good customer service. The car suited my needs too. "
" Excellent service, very efficient way of getting a good price for car rental and often less trouble than booking direct. "
" Brilliant service, much more than expected and makes AVIS look terrible. "
" The booking was very reasonably priced. Howver it was not made clear that a Credit card would need to be produced on vehicle pick up. "
" Budget tried to enforce us to pay an excess waiver insurance with them, despite being able to see from our paperwork that we had already taken one out with you. when we questioned this, she said that we should never book with a company such as yourselves and always direct with budget, otherwise these extra costs are not made clear! I flatly refused to pay the insurance but the lady on the desk would not pre authorise our debit card and was insistent that it must be a credit card to cover the excess. After about15 minutes of debate she finally rlented and swiped the debit card! Not a good start! "
" Very good, and all as described. "
" Excellent service, friendly and helpful. Vehicle was clean and in excellent condition. Very satisfied. "
" this was the best and easiest hire I have had in many years of coming to Ireland "
" very good service "
" Reception was first class when we arrived at the 'depot'. Very good communications from the man at the desk. Plenty of info regarding directions and our destination which he knew very well. "
" Have booked car hire abroad many times online and have never has as good an experience as we have on this occasion with BUDGET. A very good company to deal with and a straightforward and up-front approach with regards to pricing. would definitely use again and would make a point of looking for prices from BUDGET before any others. "
" Best prices around "
" Autoeurope offered a great deal "
" Enterprise were excellent - above and beyond.... "
" Efficient and well organised. "
" Waited over an hour to be transported to the dealership because they have no queuing system so people continually barged past. The car given to us had a damaged tyre which wasn't repaired properly and was extremely dangerous. There was also a lack of transparency around insurance and toll charges. I'll never use Hertz or Thrifty again. "
" Easy to book online. Didn't need o use customer service. Good choice of vehicles and value for money "
" Excellent customer service. Even refunded me for some unused fuel "
" satisfied "
" excellent "
" Very good as usual - sent the voucher straight away; I always know that you will get the service with Auto Europe which is why we always use you. Keep it up!!! "
" Customer service at Avis in Dublin was really good, very helpful, pleasant and efficient.. "
" Staff in Dublin very helpful "
" Brilliant service "
" Excellent service - compliments to Ray and his boss who transferred my booking to Dublin from Cork after my mis-booking with a small surcharge. "
" Again excellent service in Dublin with good signage to car rental car parks. It would be helpful if there is some explanation as how to pay the M50 toll as it was a hassle at home by internet. "
" It was very easy and convenient with everthing organised by Auto Europe. I am also using Auto Europe for my Spanish trip and hopefully everything will be just as organised there as well. "
" So simply yet so effective, always a great experience. "
" First class service, thank you. "
" the long wait in the car hire building at the airport was the only bad experience.one hour lost in a queue. "
" my only gripe was the waiting for one hour in the queue. "
" Booking process was straightforward "
" Very pleasant staff on arrival desk "
" Always find a better deal with Auto Europe than going straight to car hire websites "
" Generally good, but this time a bit of a wait at Airport to be bussed down to pick up car. "
" As always I was very happy with the service provided "
" Was given upgrade because there was a slight delay at the Airport desk so I was very happy. "
" Good value and easy to use "
" Need to check cars with client more carefully and not just issue paperwork at check-in. I was told the car had no damage but when checked it had a considerable large scrape on the front bumper and wing so had to go back to get this recorded. "
" Excellent very friendly and helpful "
" Perfect "
" Good value service, easy to book and easy to understand booking process. I will use again. "
" Efficient processing, good car. "
" AutoEurope was fine, however there was a disconnect between that and Avis. We thought we'd paid for everything in advance including insurance however we were advised that we still needed to pay 1k on our credit card to Avis (which was apparently in the AutoEurope small print) Thank goodness we had a credit card with sufficient limit on it. "
" Please see comments above regarding insurance. It was also quite a palaver to get a hire car. We had to queue at the desk at the airport terminal, then queue for a bus to take us to the hire car area, then queue to be served before finally collecting the car. With hindsight we could've got the bus and arrived at our destination at the same time! "
" Great value! Great car! "
" Heaps of advise given to where to go and how to get there. "
" Yes all good ! "
" Good Customer Service ! The Guy was very helpful. "
" Easy navigate site and car exactly what I wanted "
" Guy at desk very helpful "
" Booking and actual collection of hire car was really easy.It was also nice to have peace of mind with excess insurance cover sorted out by Auto Europe at very reasonable rates. "
" Easy to deal with .Very friendly helpful staff.No problems at all. "
" Easy booking process and great value for money "
" Car was very nice and a superior model to the one I had ordered. No car was ready when I arrived at the base and it took about 15mins to get the car, which, after a flight from Sydney, was a little painful. "
" 100% satisfied. Have used AutoEurope several times now and have always been amazed at the hassle free ease in hiring through them. "
" First time to use Avis and found them extremely helpful particularly when car I was offered was unfortunately one I dislike!!!! They facilitated me with another without hassle. "
" I use Auto Europe to get the best deal every time "
" I got a free upgrade this time very satisfied. "
" easy access online booking "
" onsite at airport,excellent service,with helpful advice will use again "
" As always hassle free transaction. I have been using auto Europe for years now. Thanks. "
" Efficient, good customer service, polite. Would use again "
" Very easy to use your online site "
" Very pleasant customer service. Was very kindly given an upgrade vehicle which was an excellent vehicle. Disappointed that the vehicle was only 1/8 full of diesel and not a full tank as expected. This caused me two problems 1. I had to leave the motorway to try to find a filling station for fear of breaking down. As I don't know my way around the Dublin area it took me about 40 minutes after filling up to find my way back to the motorway. 2. I found it difficult to judge how much diesel to refuel in order to make my return journey and return the vehicle with the same level of fuel I was given. I ended returning it with more. If provided with a full tank in the beginning I would have just needed to refuel to a full tank, easy...! "
" Excellent "
" Excellent "
" One of the cheapest brokers! "
" Car was not in great condition inside or out for a year old car. - Was told I HAD to take additional insurance out on the car even though I didn't want it. "
" EXCELLENT SERVICES WITH LOTS OF INFORMATION GIVEN "
" VERY FAST AND EFFICIENT "
" The booking and value was very good and easy. "
" It took far too long (45 mins) to get from the first Avis desk within the terminal, to be first processed there, then wait for a bus to take us to the Avis off airport facility and to then receive the car. Avis had run out of the car that I booked (Qashqai), so borrowed from sister company Budget, a smelly, older Zafira. I was too tired to complain and was travelling with family, so just decided not to make a scene. Very disappointed though "
" I needed to extend the hire by one day, however, AutoEurope could not help. The one day extension cost almost as much as the AE cost for 3 days. "
" The first car (1.2 Corsa) had under inflated tyres. The second (1.0 Micra) was a 12 month old car with 40k KM (25k miles). It was a bit of a wreck with the clutch bite point at almost full travel. Small cars like that should be retired from a hire fleet well before that amount of mileage. "
" Did not realise I should have advised that one of the party required use of a wheelchair, thus had to wait about half hour at airport while rented vehicle was brought to airport. Although this was not explained at the beginning of the wait. We would have been quite happy to get shuttle bus to Avis. Also directions to where vehicle was parked at airport not entirely clear. Had to go back to desk. So overall had to wait too long at airport, but when it arrived vehicle fine. Dropped of at Avis and got shuttle bus back to airport....easier. "
" as above "
" Didnt realise I needed a credit card with me when I picked vehicle up..got charged another116 euro because of it..would have been satisfied otherwise "
" Please let people no they need credit card when picking car up "
" I thin it's a gread service and I am very happy with it. If you could use your muscle to get lower prices for additional drivers from the rental companies, it woud be even better. "
" A great wecome but the overall service was a litte bit over the top for me. I felt as if I was being smothered with kindness "
" best customer service I have had when hiring a car, collection and return very efficent and welcoming "
" everyone connected to enterprise should be congratulated on their customer service "
" Great easy to use website "
" Very quick and efficient. "
" It was one of the best rental experiences I have had "
" well priced and good simple contract. "
" Pleasant and quick service. "
" Excellent All round "
" Had a bit of a misunderstanding. I had changed the time of picking up the car prior to travel, but unfortunately I did not realise the car rental company had changed. This caused a delay and I had to check with all rental companies to see who had the booking "
" Excellent service and staff "
" Make car hire companies show the car you are going to get. I often book a fiesta and never actually get one. "
" Rather than show a popular car to hire and state similar as you know what cars you have why don't you display the car people can book. I often book a fiesta or similar but when I am at the desk always get offered a Nissan Micra, yes its a higher group but I choose fiesta for a reason. "
" Everything went fine , good service from enterprise and no nasty surprises. I've used Autoeurope twice this year and I'm happy to use you again "
" Top team !! "
" Very good price. All went well. Not sure how it would have gone if I had had to make a claim on the insurance waiver though. I thought there should have been more information available about the insurance excess waiver before I purchased it - ie. that in the event of an accident, I would have to pay Hertz' excess to them then reclaim it from Auto Europe. "
" The car was great. However on pick up, I was told I had to pay £1,600 refundable deposit OR E14 a day (non-refundable) up front for Hertz own insurance. As I'd paid the excess waiver already I opted for the refundable deposit. The guy told me (I couldn't see his screen) that my card had been rejected so I'd have to pay E14 a day. I gave him a second card - same result. Neither card has EVER been rejected ANYWHERE in the world. He was insistent I should pay the E14 a day and told me the excess waiver wasn't worth it - AE were very 'flippant'. I said I would call my bank on his phone; he go annoyed and said that would take hours. I stood my ground and when he could see I wouldn't budge, one of my cards miraculously worked! Funny that! "
" Make the charge for the high excess transparent and book able at order. "
" I wasn't impressed my card was charged in sterling without asking me! "
" Excellent value and I got a brand new car! "
" They wanted to sell me excess insurance even though I had it and told me the one I had was no good "
" Excellent value but finding your prices with excess insurance included was difficult, you should show them as standard "
" Excellent "
" Brill value for the money and very helpfull "
" Very nice selection of cars and made very welcome "
" I had to change drivers name at the last minute and found your staff to be very friendly and helpful. It was also pleasantly surprising that this change didn't incur a charge, thank you! "
" Simple and well organised "
" NO PROBLEM "
" WAS MADE TO WAIT IN THE RAIN FOR 15 MINUTES FOR BUS TRANSFER TO THE CAR HIRE SITE "
" Booking process was excellent and price is very competitive "
" Staff were very friendly, (Fran) thanks to the warm welcome to Dublin, I think you are a great host and Ambassador for Ireland. Friendly service with nice reliable car. Would definitely return to Ireland and use service again. "
" Simple to book and much clearer than other similar sites. "
" Excellent, friendly service. The people I dealt with were very helpful and attentive to my needs. The pickup from airport door to collect the car was superb. I would definitely use them again without hesitation. "
" Inspection of vehicle upon receipt is difficult in poorly lit areas, and it was necessary to return to the reception desk to point out further bodywork blemishes after moving the car to a better lit area where closer inspection was possible. "
" Excellent price and service. I recommended it today in fact. "
" Friendly, honest and efficient. They checked the car when I returned it, while I was waiting, which was reassuring. "
" Really do not like the up-selling of insurance when you arrive to pick-up the car. You think you've paid for full cover when booking then informed the limitations of the cover and need to add extra. Make it plain and simple when booking so everything is paid for in one go. "
" Booked a Mondeo, received a Skoda. "
" A very stress free and pleasurable experience. The car was available on arrival. The formalities completed with minimal delay and we were on our way. The only area that could perhaps be improved is the return, which was quite easily found. The person receiving the car was very prompt in completing the documentation, then just pointed in a general direction as the return area was a distance from the departure lounge. Perhaps a little more interest and guidance would not go amiss as the walk involved crossing a fairly busy road with no crossing points. "
" Just a little more attention to guiding clients on the safest way to get to the departure lounge. "
" Very kondly recevied a car with a little bit bigger baggage room when asked for. "
" website easy to use and if any problems I call through and staff always very helpful - excellent customer service. "
" Staff very professional - particularly staff at car pick up and drop off site at Dublin Airport and cars always clean and in good order - I wouldn't hesitate to use Budget again. "
" Very good and great price "
" Really good staff and easy to deal with "
" Good price, all worked well "
" All went smoothly. Car was clean and no scratches (unusual for Dublin Airport, I've had some bad experiences). Drove well. Hand back was fast and bus service to airport was good. "
" I have been very satisfied each time I have used Auto Europe "
" Good service and price. Very attentive and proffesional staff in Dublin at Enterprise. "
" Excellant. Very friendly and attentive, "
" been using your service for years and never had a problem. Real value for money "
" excellent service with a smile "
" Great to have a care at the airport car park - not keen on waiting for the bus! "
" As above, car at the car park locally was great and recommended as I have little time. "
" Great price. Easy. No problems. "
" All good. "
" excellent service.very efficient. "
" Overall, very happy, when I can get a bargain. "
" Very satisfied with service "
" I would definitely suggest Auto Europe, there was a significant saving using the website rather than booking direct with any other car hire company "
" I have used AVIS on numerous occasions and find them very professional, I have no complaints. "
" Very friendly staff and good knowledge "
" excellent - friendly honest staff. Explained everything very well and offered good advice. Will definitely use Avis again "
" very helpful changed named driver at short notice with no fuss "

" Very good ease to use "
" Car ready transfer to and car site on time All staff A1 .thank you .would use again "
" Very satisfied with the price that Auto Europe offered "
" I arrived at location where I'd picked up the car to find the gates closed. It was a dark November evening and I could not see any signs on the gate as I drove by. The next gate (into Europcar) was open and I drove in thinking that I could get to Avis. Bollards blocked the route. Anyway, Avis office was closed. I was stuck in the Europcar compound. I had to go into their office. I waited about 15 minutes before the gate was able to open (not enough words available to explain). I drove round to Avis gate to see sign telling me to go to Block C zone 3 of car park. I got confused and ended up on floor 1 and had to abandon car at exit. It was a disaster. Caused because no one at Avis had told me the office would be closed. I now fear a penalty. "
" your male receptionist on duty on4/11/2013 at 2200hrs was so helpful going beyond his call of duty this chap deserves promotion. "
" staff most hepful "
" Have used Auto Europe several times this year and have always been more than happy with the service provided. I have recommended this company to friends and family without reservation. "
" great service "
" good experience "
" Easy straight forward booking. "
" Avid Staff were very helpful at Dublin Airport. "
" Very efficient and good value. "
" Great staff. Very polite friendly and considerate. "
" I use Auto Europe regularly (about 10 times a year) and have done for many years now. I always find it's simple, easy to use and provides the most competitive price available. Very pleased with the service and would always recommend it. "
" Good service and no complaints. The returns point was even open in time for me to return the car at 05.00 and catch a flight at 06.30, so good customer service. "
" Great service . "
" Great service - polite and helpful. "
" Excellent company to deal love the easy way it is to book and amend bookings. "
" Discuss with your car hire companies to give priority at the counter to per booked customers. "
" Customers who have pre booked should be given priority Santa the airport counter "
" Keep doing what you are doing!! "
" Good service, friendly staff happy days! "
" always had excellent service including the rental companies. BUDGET in Ireland could not have been better "
" Helpfuldesk in the termonal and excellent service at the Rental Office. Efficient, friendly and considerate "
" Very cheap, simple and no catches. "
" Easy to use, quick to sort my car, provided transport to and from the car. The only thing I would mention. I wasn't aware that I'd be charged £100 refundable petrol deposit until I got there. Just a heads up to others to be aware of this. "
" arrangements made easily as I wanted "
" Very good customer service both at Airport desk and when returning the car "
" Easy to use website. "
" Convenient pick up and drop off "
" All fine and was easy to change booking when the airline changed my flight. "
" Excellent service - we had a flight change and delay so I was four hours late to arrive to collect the car. Enterprise were really helpful and sent the van to pick us up at the terminal and got us on our way as quickly as possible. Excellent Service! I also really loved the Kia Cee'd CRDi for its easy drive and amazing fuel economy. Thank you! "
" Best competitive prices "
" Excellent service from start to finish. Enterprise staff were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. The whole process from picking the car up to leaving it back was painless. Would certainly use enterprise again. "
" Eas to use website with good comparisons across quite a few different rental companies. "
" It was very busy when I landed and had to wait about 20 minutes to be served, but the counter staff were trying to get people processed as quickly as they could. Similar problems when I went to pick up the car, but the staff noticed and offered a discount because I had been kept waiting. I was happy with that, normally you would have to ask in that situation but the Enterprise staff were proactive enough and showed that they car about customer service. I probably would have avoided them next time if they hadn't shown that level of care. Things go wrong and it's going to get busy at some stage in every operation, it's how you react in those situations that sets you apart. I would be happy to go back again. "
" Great value. "
" Requested Ford KA was in fact a gutless Fiat Panda, which was disappointing. But customer service was excellent. "
" Not immediately obvious where the Enterprise desk is at Dublin airport as it is hidden around the corner from the Hertz/Avis etc desks. "
" The best service I have ever received at an airport car hire desk! "
" Making information a littler clearer to do with each hire company's excess if you don't take the extra each day to waiver it would helpful.overall would use again as really easy and much cheaper then going direct. "
" Very helpful, easy pick up and drop off. "
" Good service as always! "

" very good "
" excellent service "
" always very competative "
" Must admit they were very well organised and helpful better than some of the bigger operations "
" My booking on line was hassle free and cheap and the pick up at Dublin Airport was quick and easy. This is exactly what I need when hiring a car - thank you. "
" On arrival at the Hertz desk, the service was both friendly and quick, the vehicle was located a short walk away (no shuttle required) and was as described and excellent value for money. Returning vehicle to the drop of point was equally quick, just taking a few minuted for the vehicle to be checked over and the paper work to be signed off and to be guided to a waiting shuttle bus to for the short journey back to the airport. Drop off staff were equally efficient and friendly and helped make the whole experience easy and hassle free. Thank you. "
" First class,friendly service at very good prices. "
" No praise is too high for the Dublin-based Enterprise staff, including shuttle drivers and assistants, and the administrative staff who completed the contracts and checked the cars in and out. They were all efficient, helpful and friendly. Go raibh mile maith agaibh go léir (Irish for" Many Thnaks to all concerned" "
