Tucked away in the south-western corner of Ireland, Kerry is generally considered to be the most beautiful part of the Emerald Isle. With its gloriously moody landscapes and dramatic headlands, the area is renowned the world over for its sublime scenery (Charlie Chaplin was a regular holidaymaker here) as well as being the most mountainous part of the country with the three highest peaks, namely Carrauntoohil, Beenkeragh and Caher. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, the magical Ring of Kerry is one of western Europe's top tourist attractions and a favourite among visiting road-trippers. This 120-mile circuit leads you around the enchanting Iveragh Peninsula in south Kerry, passing many of Ireland's most picturesque towns and villages en route, including Killarney, Killorglin, Glenbeigh, Caherciveen, Waterville and Sneem. The Dingle Peninsular, likewise, is another of the island's most scenic motoring routes with dozens of attractions, beauty spots and prehistoric monuments to behold along the way. Leave yourself a day or two to explore the world-famous Wild Atlantic Way, one of the world's greatest coast-roads, a large portion of which passes through the heart of Kerry County. This magnificent 1,500-mile-long road promises a succession of soaring sea cliffs, quaint little fishing villages and wonderful beaches of the purest sand and seawater. With your car hire in Kerry you can enjoy the very best of the region and visit some of the most interesting places on the island, such as the lovely little seaside town of Kenmare at the south-western tip of Ireland and Killarney National Park, Ireland's oldest protected wilderness.

" 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. "

" There was no handbook. I suppose as an experienced driver I am supposed to know all about the lights and stuff like that. Schoolboy error, I left the lights on! Keyless entry, I can't get into the car to open the bonnet. The guy I phoned tried to explain how to get the key out of the fob. I couldn't understand. 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. I phoned the assistance line and told him to stop the truck with the replacement car. All could have been avoided if all the details were explained at pickup and there was a handbook to check light switch positions. "

" Always easy to assess different hire rates and usually cheaper than going direct to supplier. "
" Kerry Airport is small so wait time for car was minimal. Staff friendly and helpful. Only one problem was I had booked a car that had A/C and the Micra was not equipped with it. Not good in a heatwave! Other than that it was a very good experience. "

" As usual with Autoeurope (my friend and I have been hiring cars through them in Kerry for a decade now) the whole process of booking, paying and collecting car was seamless. Actually no matter which firm in Kerry we have used, all have been excellent and booking via Autoeurope is very reassuring. "
" This is the first time in 8 years that I have used Thrifty through Autoeurope (usually Budget) and I was very pleasantly surprised with how good the whole experience was. Very pleasant and professional staff greeted me. The car was competitively priced and a good small runaround and it was good to see the previous damage logged on photos which I had access to. Good explanation at start and good transfer at end. I particularly liked the fact that the booth was open and someone came out and inspected the vehicle on return (not always open on winter evenings). To be fair it is summer and in Feb/Mar very difficult to view car at 6pm in the dark. The pre authorised sum was removed from my card very quickly. All in all a very good experience indeed. "

" Great people to deal with. "
" A very pleasing experience, when I arrived at the desk I was informed that I had been upgraded to a limousine or an SUV at no extra charge. I decided to take SUV which was a Hyundai Tucson, which gave me and my wife four days of really enjoyable motoring around south west Ireland. "

" See above Re: loading on credit card "
" Everything was fine but deposit taken from credit card is way too high causing me to go over my limit and I got a £25 penalty for that! Not happy about that you should lower your deposit to a reasonable amount also car was a bit shabby to be honest otherwise good VFM "

" There was no warning that David's age, 75, would be a problem with Avis and that he should have brought doctor's letter etc. So I had to be the driver and this was a serious inconvenience as I needed to be able to stay at the house. letting David do shopping etc. Instead I had to do everything and we had no freedom of movement. We should have been warned. "

" We got an intermediate car for £100 a week, which seemed to good tp be true. It turned out to be a VW Passat, which was very nice and problem free. It took 10 minutes to pick up the car and 1 minute to drop it off. Overall I was very impressed. "

They dealt swiftly and efficiently with the large queue of clients from the plane. All aspects of the hire car were explained succinctly and without hurrying . Good value and a good firm to have on Auto Europe's books. "
" I have used Auto Europe in Ireland at least once a year for the last 5 or 6 years and have returned purely because of the great service and value for money offered. In fact I have a car booked again in 3 weeks time with you. The website is very clear and easy to use and booking is very simple which is a bonus. I have had occasion to telephone with a query and was dealt with in a very courteous, friendly manner with satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Auto Europe to friends whether visiting Ireland or elsewhere in Europe. "
