Heartily welcoming and overflowing with history and culture, Ireland is a prime road-trip destination with some of the most stunning landscapes in the whole of the British-Irish Isles. Affectionately known as the land of saints and scholars, Ireland has more Nobel Prize winners for literature than any other country, which is the main reason why Dublin, the capital, was classified as a UNESCO City of Literature in 2010. And it is in Dublin where most visitors start their Irish adventure, in the home of Guinness and the Book of Kells, an extremely rare 9th-century illuminated manuscript. Head for Grafton Street to catch up on your shopping or feast yourself on the famous Irish breakfast. One of the highlights of a car hire in Ireland is the chance to experience the Wild Atlantic Way, a well-signposted 1,700-mile route down the country's spectacular west coast. Essential stopovers in this part of the island include the beautiful city of Cork (popular for its English market) and the enchanting Dingle Peninsula where you'll often hear Gaelic being spoken. The Ring of Kerry further south is another of Ireland's breathtaking seascapes and a must for anyone renting a car in Ireland.
With over 65 years of experience providing quality car hire at the cheapest prices on the market, Auto Europe now operates in over 190 destinations around the world, including the Emerald Isle. With pick-up points available in around 28,000 different locations, our customers have numerous options available to them for their car rental in Ireland, including the capital Dublin as well as dozens of towns and cities across the country.

" 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! "

" 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. "

" Have used Auto Europe over a number of years as I feel they offer the best choice and value for money by comparing a number of car hire company prices. "
" Very happy with the service received but slightly disappointed with actual vehicle supplied. Booked expecting a VW Polo or Vauxhall Corsa sized car but actually got a Kia Picanto. Offered a VW Golf for an extra 10 euros per day but declined. Vehicle not fuelled fully upon receipt so was advised to take photo and return as same. Difficult to achieve when five eighths full so ended up returning in excess. Apart from these issues car was in good condition and clean so no complaints on presentation. Collection and return process seamless. "

" The Mg Hs hybrid was very good and drove well and economical, great shame it was the base model which means you can not adjust the height of the front passenger seat . My wife is 5Ft tall and had to sit on 2coats folded up to see out which is not ideal when your in Ireland doing the scenic tours . Plus the sat nav takes you off the main road and takes you up farm tracks with grass in the middle of the road and then puts you back on the same main road you were on a mile or two later . "

" Auto Europe were great, as usual. "
" Pickup agent just haded us key and pointed to a very large carpark behind office without providing a bay number. As it was late at night, he suggested flicking flicking the open button on the remote to set off the flashers. That did not work because someone had left the vehicle open. So, nearing midnight we had to search for the licence number on the car. Shabby service. Photos of the car did not reflect the extent of the damage on the car's body work. However, I sent replacement photos. Drop off was equally a nightmare. We were not informed the rental drop off would be closed. Fortunately, a staff member from another company told us that Thrift expected drop offs to be left in the short stay car park, and the keys handed into to desk in the terminal. The desk clerk at drop off asked us for the bay number (sic)!! You can't make all this up. "

" On arrival at the Sixt/Flizzr desk at Shannon Airport, I was given a warm welcome by Derek Quinn who was very helpful and explained clearly the details of my booking arrangements and the potential additional options. In hindsight, it would have been helpful if we had discussed the process when I was returning the vehicle ie we followed the signs to the returns area to find that we had to park it in the short stay car park and drop the key back at the desk. Derek was particularly helpful when, having gone to pick up the car, I noticed a number of "marks/dents" which had not been noted in the email rental agreement I received. I returned to the desk and he provided me with his email address to enable me to send photos of this "damage" and duly emailed me back to acknowledge my email a short time after I had sent it. Given that some of the marks/dents were very apparent, I am a bit surprised that no record of these appeared on the rental agreement. "

" 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.

The information I had was that the desk would be open until 1am but no information was provided about the late fee. I even rang the desk to tell them that I would be arriving at 12:30am - I was told the desk would stay open until 1, but was not told about the extra fee, until I arrived at the desk. I've checked and other companies in Dublin do not charge this fee. "

" Worst customer support experience I've ever had "
" 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. "

" Very disappointed with the car park pickup opposite T1 at Dub. The car was parked so tight to the adjacent cars I could not open any of the doors! 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 booked through you and paid EXTRA for car hire collection and drop off specifically at Dublin Airport.

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? "

" Overall very good. Just to correct location for hire vehicle desk and pick up is outside the entrance gates and not in the terminal as stated. It is only a short walk of 100m but it is a diversion if you go to the terminal desk that is still marked up with a sign redirecting you. The vehicle had minor but unsightly accident damage hence the 8 score. Otherwise Carhire/Europcar provided a very good service.

" It was not clear where to collect the car from initially. I had to stand in a queue to find out which queue to stand in. I was charged for an alloy scratch that I am certain I did not cause. I only drove the car less than 30km and only parked in car parks, didn't hit anything either. The return staff said it looked new, despite dirt being on the scratch.

" Collected the hire car via Europcar at Dublin Airport. Was a Hyundai Tucson, had a list of 10 existing damage areas on it so not in the best condition but was adequate for our trip. 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. "

Daylight robbery and if we weren't trying to get to a funeral I would have told them to stick it.

" Suggest you raise my bad experience with Carhire/ Europcar and consider taking them off your list of rental cars as thro no fault of yours a bad taste persists "
" Carhire in Knock seems to be part of Europcar and the car was collected from the Europcar agency at Knock Airport The car had not been properly cleaned (empty bag of crisps on floor) or prepared. In particular the gear knob came away from the gear stick ( very dangerous) and the tire pressure warning light came on even after ensuring pressures were correct. My biggest complaint however was I got ripped off because Europcar/Carhire considered I brought the car back with new damage. We inspected the car before driving away but did not notice the damage which comprised about three very superficial scratches a few inches long to offside front wing. I took pictures of the car before we drove it and they did not show the damage which was very difficult to discern visually- unlike several other dents and damage to the car which were recorded and which we confirmed with our photos. The Europcar/Carhire rep immediately went to the so called new damage and did not inspect any other part of the car suggesting to me they knew the car had these superficial scratches before I drove it. I was not involved with any accident and had no recollection of any event that could have caused them. They deducted euro630 from by credit card which is ridiculous given the superficial nature of the damage - eg no dents. The scratches would be removal with T Cut in my view. I had separate cdw insurance ( so am not out of pocket assuming my insurance pay up) and I suspect the fact I did not take out Europcar cdw was a factor. I will never hire from Europcar/Carhire again and would not recommend them to anyone else. Rip off artists! I have used autoeurope for many years and have always had good experience altho I have not as far as I can recall ever had an Europcar car. "

" I was disappointed that the counter was not in the airport terminal despite what the booking said. I was directed to wait for a shuttle bus to take me and my family in the rain to an off-site Hertz facility. Once there the counter staff person who served me was surly and unfriendly, which is not like my previous encounters with other hire companies. I found their approach to existing damage on the car to be vague and effectively placing all the responsibility on me as the hirer, telling me to take photos and upload them. However, their upload facility did not work. "

" Clear communication from AutoEurope, only let down by Flizzr/Sixt and poor state of car key. "
" The booking was with Flizzr, but there was no such signage at Cork Airport and we had to enquire as to which desk to approach. This added uncertainty and delay to the experience. On the first day, the key battery failed, leaving us at first unable to unlock the car and then to lock it. We were concerned it would auto lock but didn't. However being unable to lock the car for 3/4 days of the rental was v inconvenient and adversely impacted our holiday. Given the importance of electronic key opening, and despite the young age of the car, I would have thought key batteries would be regularly checked - clearly ours was at fault as they are supposed to last a lifetime.

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 "

This seems very sharp practice to me and very disappointing.

" 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. "

" When I picked up the vehicle I was advised that it was in good condition with no damage. On inspection it had scratches to both wings and damage to the bumper which fortunately I photographed. As I had arranged to meet a family member I left and continued my journey to Connemara where I parked the vehicle in a safe position. The car was not used until our return journey to Knock as we walked to the wedding venue which was 5 mins from our accommodation. Whilst trying to avoid traffic in Galway city my sat nav took me through a route of very narrow roads and the journey took much longer than anticipated. We arrived at the airport with minutes to spare before our flight and was unable to have car inspected in our presence. I parked the car safely and dropped the keys at the Thrifty/ Hertz desk and had to pay €140 for late check in of our 2 luggage items. On arrival back to the U.K. I received an email from Hertz with a pdf image of the inspection of the car accompanied by photos of the pre existing damage and attributing it to me. Coincidentally the cost of the damage was €2000.00, the amount which had been held on my credit card. I emailed Hertz attaching the photos of the pre existing condition of the car and was requested to resend with the date and time of the photo. All that was required was for the recipient of the photo was to click on it and the date and time is visible. I resent it and a day later received a condescending email advising me that 'after careful consideration Hertz were no longer pursuing the claim and advising me that in future I should check the car before leaving the airport' which thankfully I had done and had the photographic evidence of the dame to the car before I drove. In my view Hertz are dishonest and would have already claimed for the scratches which were superficial and they would never have fixed and were chancing their arm because I had to run to catch my flight and was not present for the inspection. Hertz charged my credit card £2200 and I was not refunded for 6 days. Of course this made some interest for them. I have hired cars on multiple occasions at Knock airport from Europcar and Budget and was never treated like this. I will never hire from Thrifty/ Hertz in the future even if their price is much lower than competitors. "

" 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.

Desk clerk tried to fob us off with different car at more than twice original price, we declined, and spent night in airport with no seating or source of food. At 5.30 next morning we went to second desk and sorted out car, this rep was trying to sell insurance by putting frighteners that the 1500 euro holding deposit will be taken in full for even minor damage. A horrible experience and would never use them again. I think we are due proper compensation, not just the days rental "

" Long queue at europcar desk 40 mins(Dublin). Only one staff member of the desk another member was on a personal call behind the screen. This member then proceeded to leave the desk to continue her call. Came back 15 mins later with no apology for the delay. Then had to wait a further 15 mins for shuttle bus to collect car. Found unreported damage on the car told to take a photo and send on email. Very poor service. Return was better with staff member professional. Only scored 8 as had to get a further shuttle bus back to terminal. "

" When we filled the car with petrol it became apparent that, despite the fuel gauge showing it as full when we collected the car, it cannot have been as we do this journey all the time and know how much the fuel is likely to cost. I reported this at the desk but have heard nothing back as yet. Your representative told us that we should have photographed the fuel gauge before departure but this gad never been asked for before and anyway would have served no purpose. We only used the car to get home and back, which was 162 km. We had to put in 15 litres of fuel. This means that we would have had to use almost 1 litre for every 10 km. We drive slowly as well and, looking up how many miles that particular car expects to do per litre found it to be between 15 and 20kms This has never happened before. "

" So disappointed with auto europe, who I have used for years. 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. As I flew in to attend a 2pm wedding I purposely hired a car from the terminal to which I was informed it was at the base and would need to take the shuttle bus adding so much time to our journey and putting us under pressure to arrive in time for the wedding. 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.

" 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 "

" I guess the bad car collection experience was not the fault of Auto Europe although the directions on the voucher to the collection point at the airport were inaccurate. "
" 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. "

" Unfortunately, my actual driving licence was misplaced the day before the rental in a parcel collection office in the UK. as the rental day was a Sunday I had no way of retrieving it before my flight to Shannon. I had a colour copy of the licence on my phone as well as the DVLA proof of a clean licence. I was refused the hire and there was no way the desk person would entertain any way of providing the car to me, despite the fact had hired a car recently through your selves to that company. They refused me refund and referred me back to you. I phoned you upon my return and was told to go back to the rental company, so I was back where I started from. I accept I did not have my actual licence with me but it was the unwillingness of anyone at the rental company or your offices to even discuss a refund for me. "

" Huge queue at Dublin Terminal 1 for pick up. We walked to Terminal 2 to avoid losing a day of holiday! The car had damage from previous hires. I guess this is always a risk when hiring from a second brand. Why does the hire paperwork take so long? Is there a way that personal data held by you could be passed to the rental company and prefilled? It would save a lot of time. I remember when I was a regular customer of Avis and just had to show my card and they handed over the keys. Job done! Brilliant! "

" At Cork Airport on picking up the car, I was asked if I wanted to buy insurance to cover the Excess. I said I didn't as I have an Annual excess cover policy with Eversure (available on request). When I returned the car last Sunday I realised that I was going to be billed 100Euro + Vat for Excess insurance. I raised this issue at the desk and they said it was a mistake and that I wouldn't be billed for it. Nevertheless, my Credit card has yesterday been billed for it. In addition, I still haven't received any final statement from Thrifty. This is either a genuine mistake or a scam by Thrifty.

" 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 car hire was with Partner car rental provider Hertz... Same very sociable and approachable staff for both providers at knock. airport.... All very acceptable. The only criticism I would level is the emailed photos illustrating the cars condition. In my case the front N/S alloy had damage to not highlighted, recorded or even visible on the images provided. This element need to be correct at point of collection... Emailed detail doesn't always arrive to customer before rental vehicle collection so missed vehicle have to be recorded and information updated by the customer...

" 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. "

" When I booked my hire car with you I filled in the drivers age box as being 76 but nothing flagged up that I need a medical certificate/current car insurance record of claims. This was buried in the terms and conditions - very devious of Auto Europe. Auto Europe need to amend your online booking form to flag up this requirement then and not hide it away in T&C's. I will never book a hire car through Auto Europe again as I wasted my money on a hire car I didn't get. "

" 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.

" Car - great as expected for the original price paid Staff - as expected, friendly and polite. Pick and drop off - ideal as this was all within the terminal and made the journey easier Insurance - not clear from the point of making the first booking, then the cost above that advertised when paying at the desk for" extra" and then being told an extra cost for traveling to Northern Ireland - stumped for words! "
" I paid up front as this was advertised as the cheaper and better option, then post several emails suggesting that £22 would give all the cover I would need for the vehicle, I paid £280 at the desk for the "extra insurance"! I asked why and was informed that this extra amount was because I was travelling outside of Southern Ireland into Northern Ireland, which I found shocking as I made this clear when making the original booking.

" Felt like I had my leg lifted with the incremental charges when we picked up the car. They wanted to swipe £2700 on my card or, for a fee of about £300, I could reduce this to a £500 excess. I was charged an extra £70 for an additional driver. Why? Only one of us could drive it any any one time. They also took £100 to cover the possibility of speeding fines.

" The vehicle was clean, high mileage VW Passat, the rental price was good. It had a full tank and it was fine to drive. F/O/S tyre was in need of replacement and was probably illegal, I didn't notice this on pick up as I spent ages photographing bodywork damage and emailing the photos. I did later photograph the tyre and the "replace tire" warning is clearly visible. The wiper blades were in poor condition and smeared the screen rather than wiping it. On return I reported my concerns regarding the tyre and the wipers and the staff assured me that it would be dealt with before the vehicle was reused. I hope this feedback is some value to you. "

" In view of the surcharge, I would like a comment from Thrifty. If they want something similar not to happen again, I suggest that they staff the office early and advise customers where they can go to fill up again at that time in the morning. It is impossible to find a 24 hour petrol station open in Ireland and it is disgraceful to be overcharged when it is not my fault. "
" The reason I have not given Thrifty as good a rating as I would have liked, is that I notice that I have been charged just over Eu.20 for something which I assume was fuel. I did fill the tank up when I left Bantry for my flight but arrived at Cork just before 5am as I needed to for my Ryanair flight but there was no petrol stations open at that time of the day. I did go round to see if the petrol station near the airport was open as although it was only slightly less than full, I didn't want to be charged but there was nothing I could do.As I only used just over Eu.20 diesel in the 3 days I had the car, I do not know how they can charge me now for that amount. I just don't know what else I could have done. "

However on booking I had thought that the car rental company was auto Europe since our paperwork did not make it very clear that the actual rental company was Flizzr. At the airport we could not find auto europe and had to ask another rental company, who checked our papers and said our car was with Flizzr. "
" There was an unacceptably long wait time at the airport, both queueing and while the booking was being processed, then after the shuttle took us to where the car was we had to wait even longer because it was still apparently being cleaned. "

" 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. Dreadful. "

" 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. "

" Counter staff was polite but refused to accept my credit card (a MasterCard) despite the fact that it IS a credit card (and has been used as such for over 3 years). Wouldn't even run it through the machine. I offered an alternative card but the there must have been a fault on the machine/or the operator because it didn't recognise the pin (I have since returned home and checked the pin in a local cash machine and it works fine). 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.

When we got there there all the reserved Sixt spaces were full so we had to park adjacent to them. When returning the key, no-one checked the car. The desk staff said someone would be in touch (on collection there was more damage than listed and I had taken photos). No-one has been in touch to say returned car was OK and holding charges were released. I feel a bit in limbo.

" On my voucher it stated that the pickup would be at the arrivals hall but when I arrived I was told that I had to go to the remote car hire area . Since we had a late night arrival ,I had to wait outside in the cold and rain with my young children, I was very unhappy. Also I felt that the counter staff were trying to get me to pay for an upgrade as my booked car wasn't available at the airport. I would not use budget again or recommend it to anybody.

" 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. "

" Very helpful with my booking query "
" 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.

" Excess waiver was very expensive - more than on Budget website. Car was advertised as Toyota Auris or similar. This car was an intermediate which I chose for larger boot space (has 412 litre boot). Car I was given was Nissan Juke which has a much smaller boot space (350 litres). Hence the car was not similar but much smaller. 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? "

This I did....but I just want to highlight that there were a LOAD of scratches and dents on the car...

" 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. "

" If a customer has their own annual excess policy, there should be no need to attempt to sell "scare mongering" policies - I was told my policy might not include a tow-truck!! If a customer tells you they will return car fully fuelled - DO NOT DEBIT - as with the "excess insurance" an amount can be reserved without charging the customer. "
" The reason I am not satisfied on this occasion is that I have used Budget car rental with Kerry airport many times recently without the need to create a charge/refund for any "additional extras" on the car hire fee. On this particular occasion my credit card was requested twice (one for fuel and one for "reservation"). I had already agreed to return the car with full fuel and on my last few visits there has been no need to "charge". If you are going to change your mind and re-introduce a charge/refund system, why can you not debit/credit in the currency of the card. I really do not see why the refund to my credit card is less than the original transaction. "

" Auto Europe is great, we used them recently - Hertz, rubbish "
" This was a scam. The car was good value but the excess reduction was exorbitant. I have rented cars in 7 countries & this was by far the most expensive I've experienced. The car was scratched, in a terrible state, the SD card had been removed & we therefore had to get a GPS. I will never, ever use Hertz again "

" I am not sure if you are responsible , but the scam of the insurance situation in Ireland , is such a disappointing and cynical welcome to the country. To charge 17 euros a day on top of what insurance comes with hire , is unbelievable . also there is no option unless one has a credit card and runs the risk of paying a surcharge for any accidents. It seems to be across the board with car hire in ireland , so I can't recommend any companies. I also feel it is unfair that your staff have top implement this expense.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to go back to the office,but luckily I took some photos Of the damage. We dropped the car back and a couple of hours later found that Thrifty had charged our credit card over €188 for damage to a tyre. On checking our photos we could see clearly that the damage was there when I collected the car. They have refunded the money, the €188 but only after I sent photos to prove damage was there,but nothing extra. Really a very bad experience and only for our photos,a very costly experience.

" 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 stated above, I was not at all happy with the state of the car as it also had damage all the way down the nearside & 2 dents. As I have used you 4 times a year for some years, I would have expected a better quality car. I know from personal experience that you charge for missing hub caps so would have expected these to have been replaced before putting out to rental. I am annoyed that the damage mentioned above was not noted on the Damage Report Form as had I not checked the car prior to leaving the airport would probably have been charged for the damage. This is not the level of service that I associate with Budget. I will probably use you again in December and would hope for a car in much better condition in view of my loyalty to you. "
" When I collected the car it had 3 hub caps missing, of which only 1 was noted on the Damage Report Form,. It also had damage to the offside rear & to the bumper which also was not noted.

The explanation of the procedure for this was very poor and staff did not appear interested in customer care. "

" Not so BUDGET hire "
" Upon booking it in the first place I thought I was getting a good deal. 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!!!! (Which I hadn't been aware I would incur) unfortunately this exceeded my credit limit. As it was the only card in my travel wallet I was then forced to take the non refundable costs, on the contact. So my experience with budget which I initially thought would be good value for money ended up costing me more than booking a high end car with one of the many competitors. "

" It was not clear booking through you that you were effectively my agent and I had not contracted with Budget. I paid you for excess damage waiver insurance but Budget told me that you and I cannot insure their car, and I had to give them a credit card credit of £1500 against damage etc, and my policy with you did not help. 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. Unless Budget and others do what you promise your customers it is pointless coming through you because the aggro and expense is duplicated "

May consider taking out waiver cover directly with the rental company to avoid having to pay in advance should a claim arise. "
" Very competitively priced. Receptionist was very polite and efficient at the desk at the airport. Drop off was very smooth and trouble free. Only negative comment is there was previous damage which was clearly notable on all the n/s panels. Didn't set a good impression particularly as there were other vehicles appearing unmarked. 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.

" 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! "

He tells me that I will have to pay for the roadside assistance if I've left the lights on. Calls back to tell me there is no one local to assist and they are going to deliver another car to me. Again, I will have to pay for that if the dead battery was my fault! All I see is money trickling through my fingers. I look online, find how to get the key out of the fob and get someone with a set of jump leads to help me start the engine.

" Apart from the problems with picking up the vehicle, we were very happy. "
" There was a problem on arrival to pick up the vehicle. The automatic 9 seater that we had booked was not available as it had been returned with damage. Was offered a manual version as a replacement which was rejected as not suitable. Had to wait nearly two hours for a replacement to be brought from Dublin City to the airport. As I was transporting a group of golfers it meant that we missed our booked tee time and could have missed our game of golf completely if the golf club had not had available a later tee time. Could not understand why, if they had known about the damaged vehicle, that a replacement vehicle wasn't ordered until we arrived. "

" I do not know if it is Thrifty, AutoEurope or the car rental business in general, but when you rent a car online, you expect to turn up, do security and leave. Instead we have a half hour negotiation about blocking money on cards or paying for insurance. I took out a "basic" package because I wanted a cheap car for a few days. 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. If I had known this I would have shopped around, rather than being held hostage at the reservation desk. If there are further charges that will be incurred at the reservation desk, they should be made clear at the point of booking (not hidden in 1.5 pt text in the T&C in the small print). I will not use AutoEurope for my next car rental to establish whether this is a "broker" issue, or if it is a scam by the car rental agencies to get more cash out of you as you are in a high stress situation.

" Hard sell at counter when collecting. Very unwelcoming and felt like we were under pressure to buy excess cover which we had already purchased through auto Europe.

Lots of scratches to bodywork. Asked that they be recorded on paperwork and took photos to ensure we wouldn't be liable. Breaks very slow to respond. "

" We used autoeurope three times on this past trip, once in Nice, once in Gatwick and the last time in Dublin. In Nice we had a Renault Twingo and it was a great little car. We booked the same size car for Dublin and got a Dacia and it was awful to drive. Gatwick was another story, they didn't have a car at all even though I had booked and prepaid a month earlier. After an hour and a half gave me a Volvo which they said would be £20 per day then tried to charge an exorbitant price when I dropped it off. I still don't know if the $300 Canadian I paid was put toward the bill. Very confusing "

We felt unable to use the car during our stay as we were afraid it was going to break down. When we dropped it back at the airport the man checking it in was very offhand with us, said that one light "probably meant it needed a service?"

" 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.

" 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 felt I got a lower standard of car (tatty) by choosing a cheaper provider instead of going to Budget direct.

I had already paid £850 and was given a car of a lower standard. A week later the full beam started to come on randomly. This is obviously very dangerous so I returned the car. This was 140 mile round trip to my cost and inconvenience. On the replacement vehicle an engine warning light was permently on and the battery for the remote needed changing. The whole experience was poor. A refund of some kind should have been offered but sadly was not. I would appreciate some form of compensation as the service has been subpar to say the least. "

" As a regular user of hire cars at Dublin airport, I was expecting the same old bad service, which I always experience at the airport, not naming the worst ever company, but hiring on a low budget I was totally impressed with every aspect of the hire, a breath of fresh air. Not a busy period I know, but none the less, I will definitely be using you and Sixth again, thank you both "

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.

" 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. "

" very good. as a regular hirer of vehicles in Shannon it was a very fast and efficient experience. However it is a nuisance as an over 75 to have to get a letter from my doctor to say I am still in good health. This is an expensive and time consuming exercise and unnecessary. Also if one has to book at short notice for family reasons it can be impossible to get the required letter from a GP. As driving licences are only valid for a three year period I feel this should be sufficient evidence of "fitness to drive". "

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.

" The vehicle itself was nearly 3 years old with quite a few damage marks. Just after pick up the front passenger headlight wasn't working so I didn't continue to my destination (in darkness) without it. Budget sent out the AA who couldn't replace it and I had to return to the rental company the following day for a replacement vehicle. They just changes the bulb, which after another couple of days was again not working.

" 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. "

" There was no suitable car available when I arrived in Shannon Airport. I was offered 2 different large saloon cars which would have been totally unsuitable for the narrow roads that I would be travelling on in West Clare. I had to wait an hour for a car ( and more time for it to be checked and cleaned) to be returned of the same size that I was expecting and had paid for before travelling.. There were 2 other customers waiting for small cars so I was not the only one. Blaming the busy nature of half term was not acceptable or appreciated! I had paid for a car through AutoEurope that Thrifty could not provide on my arrival. I have complained about this service to Thrifty and am awaiting a response. "

" Yes always a good service and options about. "
" I was disappointed with the vehicle which is meant to be mid range. The Opel Astra was an estate which was fine, but the back parcel shelf was not there, therefore our luggage was always on display. It was obvious we were touring as the car was being dropped off at Belfast City. Therefore, we had to try and cover our bags so it didn't entice anyone to break into the car, when we were parked up. However, we did have problems with a constant noise which appeared to come from the brakes. The emergency number does not work if you do not have an Irish phone as I was told later. I contacted Budget at Knock and to be fair a helpful lady did try to resolve and offered a person to drive an hour and change the vehicle. At first we accepted but we drove around to return and the noise disappeared. I therefore cancelled the option of a change of car mainly as we were touring and we had an event at 1pm and by changing the car we would have missed it and that would have had a knock on effect. I appreciate I paid a price for returning to Belfast, but really the car was damaged and look worn in many areas and certainly needed a good service. The noise did return which was very annoying, but on the last day it again disappeared. "

" 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. "

" Counter staff were friendly albeit tied by a bizarre policy whereby if you identify damage on the vehicle that is not on the report, you have to photograph and e-mail it to Sixt. That is inconvenient to customers when there's staff just a few feet away! The condition of the vehicle was the main issue. 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. I don't expect brand new spotless vehicles but 6 year old damaged hounds is not ideal and why i wouldn't recommend Sixt even through it what cheap. I'd rather pay a bit more for a better vehicle. "

" I paid for Airport terminal collection, not a shuttle bus (not great with a 1 year old in tow) Regarding pick up location - Auto Europe Car Hire sold me Hertz services as: "DUBLIN AIRPORT ** DESK IN TERMINAL ** - DUBLIN, IE" I specifically requested airport terminal collection at the point of purchasing due to us travelling with a 1yr old baby. 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. This tells me that not only had the car not been checked before I picked it up, it probably hasn't been checked for a long time. No windscreen washer fluid either. What else hadn't been checked?

" Sixt keen to upgrade car on the pretence that as a customer had been waiting at hire desk, however whilst that was good for them, was the upgraded car good for me? i had ordered a Renault Megane sportwagon, diesel which should have been very economical, ended up with a kia Sportage which was totally over sized. Personally think the upgrade was subterfuge, covering as no sport wagon available. Also, everything was in Dutch- even in Ireland the language is English. "

" I love Auto Europe, especially the straightforward way in which you offer the excess reimbursement warranty. This is the second time that I use this site and it's the best way to hire rental cars. "
" 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. My bank hadn't released my credit line from my previous rental a few weeks ago so I didn't have enough credit and the petrol deposit didn't go through. 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. Their policy and the incompetence of my bank made the experience quite uncomfortable. "

" My main problem with Auto Europe is the misinformation about the car. I booked a car that was advertised as 'Land Rover Freelander or similar'. I am aware that an exact make and model cannot be guaranteed, but when I turned up at the Budget counter at Knock Airport to find that I had been allocated a Kia Sportage, I was very disappointed. Land Rover is clearly a premium car manufacturer, while Kia is clearly not. A more suitable alternative might have been a Volvo, Jaguar, or Skoda. Even a BMW or Audi. I had numerous phone calls between both Auto Europe and Budget to try to sort this out, but was not able to get any satisfactory answers. Eventually, I was able to negotiate with them to provide me with a Mazda CX5. I was reasonably happy with this, but still disappointed and frustrated that I was not given a car that was comparable to the Land Rover that had been advertised at the point of sale. "

" 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'. "

" When i arrived at the desk to collect my vehicle there was a large queue for twenty minutes, I gave my details to gentleman at the desk and collected the keys . When i arrived at the carpark bay to collect my vehicle i notice it was not what i had booked online ! 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 "

" Easy to order a car on line. Good prices, plus option to insure the euro2,000.00 excess "
" The car I actually got was a diesel Kia Sportage SUV. I initially ordered from the web which gave a description of a Toyota Rav4 but i knew that another car could be substituted depending on what they have available The Kia turned out to be a lovely big car for 4 of us plus luggage. Great to drive. Air con, cruise control, really comfortable, reasonably powerful, despite the limitations of a diesel engine. The Sat nav was disabled so you'll have to rent one, but worth it to rent. Could also link iPhone to sound system. It was a shame to give it back! Easy to order car online with auto europe, plus they give you an option to purchase insurance to cover the Euro 2,000.00 excess which I did. Peace of mind! Easy collection at airport, tho' do check car carefully. You have to collect from parking area yourself. They put a ticket in car showing dents marks. Our car, although 99% good condition, did have some additional scratches not on their list. Take pictures and email them (or go back to desk). They tell you to email if needed, when collecting keys. Make sure you put your contract number on email and not reg no. Return of car was easy too. Flizzr must be popular as there were three people in front, yet no one at other car hire desks. It takes a while to go through renting procedure when picking up, so if others are also picking up in front of you when giving back, you'll have a potential wait, so DO allow yourself some extra time on getting back to airport, bearing in mind you'll have a plane to catch Would def recommend!!

And if I did have an accident I'd have to pay the £1900 to budget and claim it back off autoeurope. That should have been made clear or I could have ended up paying twice for the same thing. "

" At pick up the marking of existing damage seemed a little slapdash & vague. My friend took a video of the car. Lucky she did, because the chap at drop off immediately queried the damage and wanted to note the scratches to the bodywork as new damage. Without even looking at the paperwork. When my friend said, "no problem, but let's review the video I took at pick up", he immediately back tracked saying "oh, there's no problem" and cleared the vehicle, he didn't even bother to look at the video. Was he trying to pull a fast one? It certainly seemed so, maybe he saw us as an easy target, two women with a child...my male relatives have never had this issue.

The pre-inspection report of the car missed a large scratch on the door of the car. I therefore had to take a photo and explain that it was actually there when I picked up the car.

" Dependent on the outcome of item 3 I may not use AE again for car hire due to the experience of Flizzr. "
" Upon collection I explained to Neve (apologies if not spelt correctly) that I only needed one of the Child chairs for 2 days - not 4 as per the duration of the car booking itself. Neve agreed to reduce the charge for the car seat to 2 days as per my actual usage and told me to drop the car seat off at the car returns location on Sunday 5th August at 12:00hrs. I attempted to return the car seat at the agreed time to the SIXT drop off point where the car seat came from. WHen I handed the seat over to Marek he advised me that he was unable to give me a receipt / confirmation that I had returned the car seat - he was very obtuse in his response to me. I then advised him that I would not return the car seat if he couldn't guarantee me that the seat would a) not go missing and b) I wouldn't get charged additionally for it going missing when I returned the car. I also explained that the staff at the airport advised me to do what I was doing and his lack of help was very unprofessional. At this point he actually mocked my physical demonstration that I was using to show what I was doing i.e. gesturing with my hands that staff to the left of him told me to bring this over to him - he did it in a very condescending manner shrugging his shoulders and repeating what I was saying in a mocking way i.e. saying blah blah blah. I have never been spoken to by someone who works in a service where customers are the people who pay their salaries, and never will I be again. I did end up swearing at Marek as he drove me to a point where there was no progress that could be made. He also refused to phone Neve to get confirmation that what I was saying was the truth. At this point I filmed the car and seat being returned to the office - to which Marek remonstrated. I advised him that once I returned the seat to Neve at the customer services desk I would delete the video. SO over to Neve I went, I asked her for a word out of the hearing ears of customers who were picking up their cars and I explained everything that happened above. Neve advised that what I was doing was not the norm for them - to which I advised her that all I wanted was commitment from them that I had returned the car seat as I had received it - this is not too much to ask. Neve took receipt of the car seat and left a note on my file that I had returned it. I have emailed Flizzr / SIXT to lodge a formal complaint about Marek from the car returns team. Can Auto Europe please follow this up as well. They need to address this level of unprofessionalism. "

When dropping the car off I was helped by a lovely young man , a credit to auto Europe, the drop of point is quite a walk from the terminal, my mother is 84 and not very steady on her feet, the young man saw this and offered to drive us to the terminal . He was so different to the guy at collections. Because of the aggressive attitude of the counter assistant I would not recommend your company nor would I choose to use it again, maybe the young guy(wish I knew his name) could give your other operatives a lesson in customer service.
