Located in the County Mayo province of west Ireland, the pretty town of Knock is one of the most appealing places to visit in the whole of the Emerald Isle. It is also one of the most sacred places in Ireland on account of an apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1879, which transformed this small rural village into an international pilgrimage destination. With Ireland West Airport Knock located just 12.5 miles away, the entire area is easily accessible with a car hire in Knock, enabling visitors to enjoy all the breathtaking landscapes and panoramic countryside for which the west of Ireland is so famous, including the many lakes, valleys and mountains to be found here. Few drivers can resist the chance to drive down the Wild Atlantic Way, stopping occassionally to photograph the many landmarks dotted along its spectacular coastline, including Croagh Patrick, Clew Bay, Achill’s unmistakable cliffs, the Stacks of Broadhaven and Dun Briste.

" 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 car I had was a small reasonably new budget car. It was comfortable and more than adequate for my needs. I was renting in rural Ireland and the roads there are not always perfectly maintained. The wheels were fitted with plastic hub caps, Perfectly adequate for the car however there is a risk of losing one on these rural roads. I would suggest perhaps possibly fitting them with cable ties 2no per wheel would eliminate the risk of losing a hub cap. "

" 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 wasn't comfortable doing that as I checked the dipstick and there was barely any oil on it so we were unable to use the car for the last days of our holiday which was a huge disappointment and ruined our plans.

" 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. "

" It's accepted that the price will reflect vehicle condition The dings, dents scratched paintwork, scuffed alloys will be the norm on higher mileage rental cars... Their second coming at rural airport for me is acceptable. The hire car itself drove well and was generally otherwise well maintained.... Well done on spotting the market potential. "
" 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... And that simple isn't right or acceptable for good customer experience. "

" No one available at drop off point at Knock airport to inspect car. Walking around in the pouring rain/cold looking for a representative. Had to call the desk and was told to just drop keys in the box. I refused to do this because they held 1600 Euro on my credit card so I wanted the car inspected and the deposit released/signed-off. This seemed to irritate the person on the desk but somebody eventually turned up. Very poor experience, we travel to Knock at least twice a year and this has never happened preciously. "

" 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. I had to call over a member of your staff to note these down. I also took photos to prove that the damage was there prior to my collection of the vehicle. "

" 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. "

I also had to work out how to release the petrol cap. All easy when you know how but being in a new place with no knowledge of the car or where garages were sitatuated it was not ideal. The car's screenwash wasn't working and I had to pull over and use my bottled water. On inspection the screen wash was full but was not working. The car appears to need a good service.

" 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. "

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.

" Totally un transparent t and cs meant that our insurance, purchased separately, was not valid and the waiver doubled the price of the hire. Totally unnaceptable. I will never use budget again and will tell friends and family the same. Also the fuel tank was nearly a quarter empty when we picked it up, the car was not clean and the child seats we were offered were spectacularly dirty. The only vaguely clean one was so difficult to install we were never 100% sure it was actually safe. As our flight was late and we were rushing, we did not notice that the agent had also added winscreen cover and roadside assistance to our bill which we hadn't asked for. Absolutely scandalous service which I wish I had spent more time challenging on the day but with a 14 month old baby and a tight schedule we didn't have time. "

" Before my trip I purchased a protection policy to cover the car hire excess for £20 which proved to be a waste of money as my hand was forced to purchase the additional insurance because unfortunately my credit card was no longer valid and the man at the airport desk would not take my partners c/c which was valid. This was an added cost to my trip that I had not budgeted for. "

" Rented car through Thrifty at Knock Airport. Speedy and efficient service, both on arrival and when returning the vehicle. "
" I received no communication from Auto Europe regarding the changes to the paper driving licences - why? This affected my rental booking and I find it astonishing that Auto Europe would not inform its customers that they needed to get a code from the DVLA no sooner than 72 hours before the commencement of the booking. "
" Excellent airport team and service from start to finish and I will definitely be hiring from Thrifty again "
" As always a very good service from Auto Europe but not Budget "
" Nobody at airport on our return journey. Another car hire company said that they would get Budget to call us to let us know that everything was in order and there would be no further charges on our credit card. Still waiting to hear from Budget - unprofessional and NEVER would we give anyone carte blanc with our cards. Would be appreciated if you could pass this comment on to Budget as we have tried to contact them at Knock since our return but without success. "
" Good service with valued deals. In particular the 3 day hire offers. If there is a draw back for me it would be the confirmation of the cars condition prior to collecting vehicle. The lack of the opportunity to have recorded any issues identified at the point of vehicle collection, leaves potential claims on vehicle returns. The paper system did at least allow this. I speak from the experience of being questioned on the vehicle's return of marking to the rear bumper! A marking that was not identified at point of hiring, but was highlighted at point of collection. "
" Generally efficient, but as previous comments, would like a better method of recording any issues identified by the customer at point of vehicle collection. There effectively is one! "
" Efficient and good prices "
" Efficient and good quick service "
" I was a bit bemused at the offer of even more insurance when I went to collect my car at the desk as I had already purchased all the extra insurance ,I thought it was just another ploy to get more money out of you,and my car was not full with diesel either nod I only noticed this when I was a couple of miles out of the import. "
" clear and informative booking process. "
" Superb customer interaction with speedy credit of returned fuel. Excellent fleet. Badly need more sensible excess waver insurance pricing. £5 a day is more than enough and would be incremental to profit v £3.99 commercially available daily rate. I would buy an annual policy with Budget rather than elsewhere. Say £50 per annum. "
" great service and a rate that is very appealing. One thing that does seem to trouble is the interaction between auto europe and the service provider...previous experience with avis not refunding my fuel todate (call logged with customer service) and now with hertz charging when auto europe has said there is no further costs. perhaps the notification is not clear or i am mis-reading it.... "

" We have been charged a total of £101.44 by budget compared to the £54.30 basic rental on your booking email. The car was returned fully refuelled with no damages etc. We were told by Budget we would be refunded with the amount of fuel which was included in the amount charged above but were not told of the amount. You comments regarding the charge would be very much appreciated "
" Car was old and not one quoted and yes I know it says "or similar to" but usually at Knock with regular user I get what is advertised and it is new. Also, it seems that the Thrifty brand is very secondary to the main one which is Hertz - almost like an afterthought - not sure I would use again "

Always take your full excess cover out and always have the dialouge of my credit card being swiped in the event of damage, on collection of vehicle and yet to experience the claiming back process. Hopefully never will. Would be great if the cover taken out with you was recognised by the vehicle suppliers at Knock. "

" I was unhappy about having to pay for the full tank of fuel at Knock. This was the first time in Europe ( I hire all over) that I had to pay. Though I would always go for full to full hirers. Damage was far more than on the sheet given in the hall, but the garage rectified the error. Good value hire and good car supplied (Skoda Fabia) "
" Excellent Service wirh Hertz at Knock airport, polite and courtious staff.. unlike Budget at Knock airport who are rude.. Auoteurope provides an amazing service, and as a frequent London to Knock commuter, has knocked hours off my journey time, and also saved me a lot of money.. I wish I had of heard about you before. I only heard about you while talking to a lady on one flight home. I did have toget a credit card though as you didn't allow the monies to be held on a credit card, but that is fine.. I will get over having a credit card.. ;-) You should advertise your services more? Thank you very much Stephen "
