A small but intriguing place, Northern Ireland forms part of the United Kingdom. Its capital Belfast is a vibrant and bustling place which offers up plenty of entertainment, culture and a glimpse into the areas troubled past. Londonderry is yet another favourite city for visitors to Northern Ireland – with enticing restaurants, bars and quaint coffee houses, hiring a vehicle here is often a great decision.

" Worked all very well via Auto Europe, thank you. "
" I don't often comment however on this occasion I have to say how great the Hertz staff were at Dublin Airport. Having satisfactorily dropped off the car, I accidentally left a small holdall bag on the transfer bus to the Airport Terminal. On realising this at bag drop off, I called Hertz in the hope they'd be able to assist. Within a couple of minutes, they'd called me back having found the bag and then arranged for the bus driver to drop it back at the Terminal for me. In all it took me 10 minutes from realising my mistake to having my bag back. Thank you so much Hertz Dublin, you really pulled out the stops. "

" I received a final bill from Europcar with an additional charge of £59. It was classed as a charge for them not being able to provide the vehicle at the original price. I queried it and was directed to their T&Cs pages and pages long. Anyway they will not back down and expect me to accept the charge. As you were my broker in this transaction can I ask you to take this up with them and ask for a refund. Many more of your customers will be experiencing this issue and should be directed to a different car hire Co so as not to incur the same issue. The prices you quoted me are not what I paid. I accept that I paid a cross border fee and added an additional driver for which I am willing to pay but a supplemental fee for which they cannot provide proof of is totally unacceptable. Please take this up with them or I will not be using or recommending you again "

Unfortunately we will never book with them in Belfast again due the extra charge for crossing the border. Which I explained previously that it should be made clear when making a booking. "
" When picking the vehicle up . I was asked if we were going to cross over the border to the Republic of Ireland. I said yes. They then informed me that would be another £157-50 . I asked why it was so much as Hertz (who me usually use) only charge £25-00. To which they informed me that we have to pay for breakdown cover and insurance. As the have no franchise in the South of Ireland so the would have to send someone out if we were to have a problem with the car. I reluctantly paid this charge.

Only upon my arrival at the desk there was nobody in attendance & I was informed by another person that they had left & gone home & because of this I lost 1days rental on the vehicle I had hired, not only that but I had to make some further arrangements with the accommodation which I had booked & I also had to contact a relative of my own to pick me up from the airport at great inconvenience & distress to this person as it was so very late at night! I then had to make further arrangements with this same relative to then come & pick me up & take me to the airport in order for myself to then get the hire car from Auto Europe & again this was at very great inconvenience & distress for my relative! I had, upon returning the vehicle to the car hire office, discussed the matter with the manager, I can not recall his name, who was in attendance at the time & who was very helpful & attentive to my plight! I was told that by way of recompense that I would receive a discount of up to 20% off my next car hire & also a free upgrade! I was also told that I would receive an email with regards to this, I have received an email but it is not what I expected & was told that I would receive as it only requested that I fill in this survey!

" Not sure what/who Keddy is. The counter staff were efficient. However, we were sure my husband had taken out the waiver policy for the trip. But I was told by the lady I hadn't and the excess would be £1600. As it was icy this alarmed us and did question whether it had already been taken out. She advised us it hadn't so we took out a waver policy with the counter lady. When we picked up the car it was frosty and not having a de icing scraper in the car, had to de ice using a credit card. Not ideal. Upon starting the car a warning light for low air pressure lite. We got an assistant to one and look. We were told nothing to worry about they'd looked at it and it was just the fact it was cold conditions. It would right itself when it warmed up through driving. The light stayed lite for the whole period. There were several lights and bleeps during our whole drive. Not confidence inspiring. Not manual. So couldn't check out whether a recovery vehicle would be required. No brief as to using an unusual hand break. So trial and error needed for that. It being icy conditions we had a lot of salt spray on the window. Which had it been checked, we would have had screen wash in the car! We had to find a garage, buy screen wash and, because their water tap was frozen, buy water to fill it up. Not grest, as this made us late for our funeral. The whole point we had come to Belfast for. Not overly impressed, sadly. To top it off when I returned home, my husband was absolutely fuming, because of additional charges to our credit car. I am livid too, now I am even more out of pocket. Having told the lady we thought we had purchased the waver cover at the time of booking and she said we hadn't. We had. I need to sort this as my husband is so angry, he scares me. Please can someone get back to me to try and sort this out. Thank you "

When driving out I noticed the fuel wasn't full so had to ask them to make a note for return with same. The vehicle was 5 years old and not in very good condition with body damage, on the day of our return the engine cut out twice with an oil pressure & STOP alert both times after going round a roundabout and then accelerating up slight inclines and it cut out in very dangerous busy roads. I pointed this out to the returns team and the Europecar airport desk. Apart from apologies nothing else has happened. We also had to pay £187.43 to take the vehicle into ROI for 6 days! which we feel was very unreasonable and that cost more than the rental charges! Some sort of compensation would be appreciated. "

" Not sure if it was Firefly or Auto Europe that had cancelled my car hire. Due to my BA flight been cancelled at short notice I attempted on seven occasions to have the pick up date and time changed, but without success? Contacted Auto Europe at 6.45am on the day of the pick up and explained that my BA flight had been cancelled and that I was rescheduled for the following day and would not be able to pick up the car at 9.30am as planned. The agent said that she would email Firefly with my request and to contact Firefly later on to confirm if they made the change. Spoke to Firefly at Belfast City airport at 11am and the person said that they had not received any email request for a change of pick up time or day. Again contacting Auto Europe another four times during the day, I think I was being given the run around, putting me through to Firefly, which eventually ended the call. The last person I spoke to, having asked would I have a car hire the next day, said that the car hire had been cancelled and that I would not be getting a refund. "

" Drop off, the inspector honed straight in on the nearside rear tyre, ignoring the rest of the vehicle. The tyre had two small cuts in the sidewall. The car displayed a dent in the nearside rear door and scratches around the sill both Infront and behind the tyre. All of which were evident and shown on the pickup photo. When I protested the tyre must have been in that condition on collection, I was told that was impossible and I should have checked the tyres before taking the vehicle. Even if I had I doubt I would have noticed the cuts, both not being obvious. Consequently I was charged for a new tyre and given a number to appeal. I now feel that I am party to some kind of scam and very dissatisfied with the whole hire process. "

I have to photograph everything - mileage; car refuel receipt; petrol tank full on dashboard; every tiny scratch or dent or scuff; every document; and date and time stamp everything (particularly depot return time). And even then hope for the best. Will I get any comments back about incorrect £ values? "
" The Voucher booking stated the blocked amount would be £1,200. Hertz desk blocked £1.517. Why? There is no explanation by anybody how exactly the rental contract is cleared, email saying so and when, and when and how the blocked funds are released - all VERY important. The Hertz desk was manned by just one person - not enough. There was nobody to sign in the car return requiring a key drop off at the Hertz desk for which no prepared receipt was offered or given for Car Reg; Date; Time - VERY important. The Hertz desk should have emailed the pre-inspection pdf document to me at Sign In - I only learnt about this from the collection point Hertz employee (though this is a useful digital document). The car itself was good and Hertz staff friendly (but frantic!). The hire cost on the Hertz rental record was wrong but manually crossed out (£317.57 but should be £264.87). The pre-advised driver info process to Hertz was a good thing and speeded things up. "

" BA cancelled my flight and stuck me on a later flight. 3 days before the rental, I phoned the counter and was assured that it would not be a problem. When I arrived, however, the counter staff told me that I was late, they had no cats available, and it was all my fault! Apparently, I should have notified them on the day of the rental. Indeed, I was effectively accused of lying about the phone call because "no one would have told me what they did." I also rang AutoEurope but there was little you could do after 7pm that day. The next morning I rang the counter again, and this time spoke to someone different. After hearing my story, he got me a car later that morning. So all was not lost, but I still lost a day's rental "

" I would suggest that the business practices of Hertz and their treatment of customers who have prebooked through Auto Europe are damaging the reputations of both companies, and alienating potential return customers. "
" The handover/collection experience was abysmal. Despite pre-booking, and arriving late due to a delayed flight, no car was waiting for me on arrival at 19.20. Two other clients were also waiting, and were ahead of me in the queue when a vehicle finally arrived. I was told that a car was being driven through from Belfast to Derry, and that it would be 1 to 1.5 hours before it arrived, thus leaving me to start a 90 minute drive into Donegal at approx 2100 hrs. I was told that the lack of cars was because previous customers hadn't returned their cars on time, but there was a printed notice in the side of the Hertz kiosk, stating that handovers of hire cars could take as much as 2 to 4 hours at the moment. The only possible explanation is that either Hertz are booking cars that they don't have available at Derry airport, or that they are giving pre-booked hire cars to walk-in customers, who can be charged a much greater hire fee, despite knowing that this will cause considerable inconvenience to pre-booked customers. The car actually arrived slightly earlier than estimated, and the Hertz staff were helpful. In addition, I was given a better car than I had actually paid for, but none of this excuses the appalling business practices that would make me very reluctant to use Hertz/Auto Europe in future. The return/drop-off experience was satisfactory. "

" I contacted AutoEurope two days ago to alert them to the unexpected surprise cross border fee applied to this booking on collection of the vehicle and am still awaiting their feedback. "
" I was advised on collection that I would have to pay a £25 cross border fee to drive the vehicle in the ROI, this despite my having alerted AutoEurope and Hertz of this requirement at time of booking. No prior mention of the cross border fee was made to me ahead of collecting the vehicle. The vehicle had an unsightly damaged wing when I collected it. This is the first time I have ever been expected to accept an obviously damaged car (beyond occasional scuffs, scratches and damaged alloys). "

" When I eventually found the reception I was told that I couldn't take the car as my use of my wife's credit card wasn't acceptable (the driver had to have a credit card). Although I was shown this clause by the receptionist (Hertz employee) and I agree that I had overlooked this when I made the purchase. Why did the booking system not flag this up? When I put in the details it didn't have a name that was remotely like mine. Although we have a joint account. We have frequently hired cars in numerous countries and never had this problem. I was told that my Firefly insurance wouldn't cover the insurance. But if I took out cover with Hertz it would be ok to drive the car. I contacted Auto Europe/Firefly at the time and they said the original purchase and insurance cover was adequate and acceptable to them for me to take the car? But the Hertz receptionist over ruled them. So I took out the Hertz insurance which was considerably more than my initial purchase for full cover by Firefly. I asked for a refund of my insurance cost from Hertz but they said it was out of their hands? As the contract was with Firefly? And I would have to contact them. I did this the following day they have acknowledged receipt of this but I haven't heard from them since. I hope you understand why I can't give you a favourable rating for some of your requests. But I will be very aware when I hire my next car Yours sincerely Ramon "

" Autoeurope was very helpful. A colleague called Joao Silva (in Lisbon) was extremely helpful, polite and answered my initial questions after booking very promptly after booking. He alone made my experience with autoeurope a 10/10 experience. Please pass on my thanks to him in particular "
" Overall very good. Very easy collection and drop-off, partly due covid-19 rules. Only downsides were: 1) Cost of taking the car over a national border was higher than had been quoted 2) The drop-off process meant the car was not checked until well after we had left (again, due Covid I think), so if any issues with the car were raised by firefly, it would make communicating and liaising between the customer and the provider much harder, and potentially puts the customer in a harder position to argue their case as they aren't physically present with the firefly rep to look at the car together and discuss any issues. Fortunately, this wasn't a problem for me - but I was a bit unhappy about the prospect of not having any information about deductions and costs incurred (if applicable) until 3 days after the rental.

Also we had an issue with tyre pressure warning before we left the airport, which on going straight back to Hertz, we were told it was a faulty sensor which had been checked and that the tyre was not punctured. Over the period of the hire we had to top up the tyre pressure twice as it clearly had a slow puncture. We reported this the Hertz on our return and I have pointed it out in my answers to a questionnaire from Hertz. "

" I found Auto Europe through the Travelsupermarket comparison site. I was very satisfied with the cost (cheaper than if I would have booked directly with Hertz), the ease of booking and the full protection offered as Hertz own scheme to cancel excess payment is very expensive. I will definitely use Auto Europe next time I need a car hire - thank you! "
" Generally satisfied. The only problem was that the car (orange mini registered in the Republic of Ireland) had an analogue speedometer which only showed the speed in kilometres. I called Hertz on the 2nd day to check I wasn't missing anything and the person I spoke to said he was very surprised and thought all their cars showed speed in miles per hour. He said that I could change to another car but this wasn't practical due to the time and effort it would have taken to drive all the way back. There are numerous speed cameras in Northern Island so my wife had to tell me the mph equivalent whenever the speed limit changed which was quite tedious to put it mildly! Also, you might be in interested to know that the only documents that staff required to see was my driving licence and credit card. They didn't ask to see my passport, car hire voucher or DVLA check code which I was told to take with me. Of course this wasn't a problem for me. "

" Auto Europe good price, if you book early . Not very flexible with changing parts of the booking . My husband wanted to fly in early to spend more time with family . I tried to change the driver's name to mine but they said I would have to cancel and rebook - the price tripled . I could change the flight for free but the car hire was £200 more . I still wanted the car for the same duration, same dates, same car but different driver. My husband had to stay at home and wait . With the changing times we live in, flexibility is the key "
" The car was scratched and scrapped . The windscreen was chipped ( right in driver's view ) . It took me a while to check the car, as so many to take photos of .The car was not very old but maybe they should get the cars fixed ( well at least the large chip as that could have cracked and who's fault would that have been??? ) . Made drop off stressful as so they had to check the same issues all again - I was not being blamed for them . None done on my watch. I have given the car a 3 as it was a good aged car, big enough for kids and luggage and nice to drive. Expected better from Hertz "

" Auto Europe is helpful in finding the best price for a hire car "
" I have used Firefly on many occasions and it has always been a good experience but unfortunately this time as I drove out of the airport a warning message came up saying tyre pressure was low and I must stop at nearest garage. I duly pumped up the tyres (all four were very low,) but I couldn't reset the gauge so the message continued to be displayed. Two days later I checked it again and once again the tyre pressure was low (this time only one). This caused me unnecessary hassle as I no longer felt confident that the car was road worthy. I then had to spend time emailing for assistance, taking the car to a garage and having the tyre repaired - all of this added to the stress I was already under as I was hiring the car to visit my mother who is at end of life. Whilst George Evans was very helpful in getting things sorted out I do feel the tyre pressure is something which should be checked before allowing a car to be rented out. The car had a tyre that had been patched and this was leaking hence causing the problem - this is not what I expect from a reputable company such as Firefly and I have been disappointed. "

" The brand came across as a low budget, low customer experience, low value cars not in good condition. Whilst I have hired similar vehicle types from other providers, they have always been in better condition and the overall experience has been smoother. Also, when you do hire a car with several marks and they email the pictures to you so you can 'check' if there are any others when you collect the car, that assumes that everyone has access to their email on their phone. Also, the alternative of taking a picture doesn't really help as you are them stood outside in bright sunlight trying to zoom in on a picture of a picture. Overall, not a satisfactory experience and would not like to use again if given a choice or would not recommend. "
" The car was in a poor condition, several bumps and marks including the door frame having markings / frame was slightly bent (as though someone may have tried to break into it).

" Good morning, The rental was okay, the car a C3 Aircross a little bit too light and sensible to the wind for the coastal road of Northern Ireland and creating us a bit of insecurity (compared to the expected ford focus). The main problem has been that Budget has requested a Credit card to put for the car, which I do not possess, without a credit card they have compelled me to purchase the policy to remove the excess on any claim. While I already have one with another provider... this has resulted in an extra 100£ fee which was twice the price we paid for the car. So overall, not very impressed with the staff from Budget, their policy, or the service provided by Autoeurope when we rang the operative to explain the issue. "

While I already have one with another provider... this has resulted in an extra 100£ fee which was twice the price we paid for the car. So overall, not very impressed with the staff from Budget, their policy, or the service provided by Autoeurope when we rang the operative to explain the issue. "

" The car was a good car and was as expected I had no problem there my problem is with being expected to pay more insurance all the time when you think you are pretty adequately covered. "
" When we booked the car we took out additional insurance for any damage that may have occurred. When ever we turn up at the collection desks the people handing over the car always always want us to pay for additional insurance. I feel after a long journey that to be pressured into trying to get people to buy more insurance is unfair. We were presented with the scenarios that you could only take out the insurance at the desk and friends that travelled with us took out additional insurance when I am sure they were already covered. It just feels like a bit of a scam when you collect the car. Next time I will be ringing up to make sure that at no point can I be asked or charged additional charges you would like to think that when you pay for the car online and you check the box that includes additional insurance that you are covered and you will not be expected to pay more when you arrive at the desk it has happened to me on a couple of times now and it's very frustrating when you are tired you just want to collect the car.

Asked for a quote, was quoted £106, this was way above what I thought and am use to paying with budget. The customer service assistant suggested I try the other desks, they were even more expensive (it's 10.30pm at this point) I go back to budget and ask if it's there best price. I get advised a city car has just been returned and it will be cheaper. I am Asked if I have avis prefer and I say no but I have heard of it and I am traveling to Florida in a few weeks. Assistant tells me all the benefits and I decide it sounds great and download. I get a new price of £44 for the rental, I am relieved, delighted and the stress is gone! On reflection I feel like perhaps I was being taken advantage of because of my situation (stuck at the airport) can you really drop a quote by £62 in the space of 10mins?? Appreciate the assistant was just doing his job and have no qualms with his service, he was great. Perhaps it's the underlying procedures in place. "

I called the national numbers and after 10mins of looking and not being able to find the car - "it doesn't exist" they said , they told me - ah no, we don't have NI cars on the system. this was despite the start of the conversation identifiying the rental was from Belfast international airport!! then I tried the Avis national number. I told them of the NI issue - they said "no problem" and after another 5 mins on hold told me - ah no we don't have it on the system. I ended up renting from a competitor. "

" I booked the insurance cover with Autoeurope, but when collecting the car, the Hertz representative tried to sell it again. When I said we had already paid for it, she said I hadn't and that she advised that should. It was only after checking my documentation with you, that I could prove I was right. Can this information not be shared with Herts, so that people are no coerced in to buying it twice? (Hertz in surname was also much more expensive). "

" Completely conned when picking up the car due to not having a credit card in drivers name. Tried to use wife's card but was told the only way round it was to pay £90 for insurance! More than we actually paid to hire the car! When booking we read through t&cs to make sure we wouldn't be caught out but once you arrive at the airport with no other way of transport you have to pay! Realised after we could have changed to wife as the driver of the car but we were not given this option and told that the only way round it was to pay for the insurance! Complete scam!! "

I believe they hired a car to us that had a small very missable, not clear to the naked eye until you ran your hand along it, dent which had been done by someone that had taken out their insurance. We didn't take out their insurance as we have our own. We checked the car and took pictures before driving off and on our return. The dent does not show in any pictures because you need to feel it to see it. I have reported this to Hertz and am awaiting their comment "

So i would just like to say thank you "

" So, although I booked the car for pick up from Belfast City Airport (BCA), the ticket/invoice from Auto Europe stated pick up was from Belfast International Airport (BIA). I only noticed this just as I was about to leave for my outward flight. I rang Budget to see if I could switch airports but they replied in the negative as it was less than 48hrs before pick up. Upon arrival at BCA I traveled over to BIA to pick up the car, only to be told it was at BIA. I then had to travel back to BCA. Combined costs were about £40 and it took about an hour of time time, adding considerable stress to a long day. It was quite clearly the fault of Auto Europe in having the wrong pick up location and I'm considering my options in terms of applying for compensation "

" Very efficient process with good, clear comparison of quotes. rating systems are helpful to compare the rental companies. "
" I have rented cars from every rental company at both Belfast airports and Enterprise/Alamo are by far the best. As their office is on the plot they inspect the vehicle with the customer and offer to show the vehicle controls if needed. Other companies I have used often provide the keys in the terminal stating that the car has no damage only to find the damage (often in a darkened carpark at night !) and have to return to the terminal to register the damage (then finding that they are serving another customer and have to wait !). Enterprise also do not try to "hard sell" the extra insurances. Overall, I would highly recommend Enterprise/Alamo to anyone renting at either Belfast airport. "

" The budget car hire experience was brilliant except for the fact that we had to pay an extra £20 a day for extra insurance (which we did not want) as I did not have a credit card on me. I had my debit card which I had booked the car with. The man on the counter would not accept my husbands credit card even though it is joint account as 'it is not the same name' This meant that we had to pay over £80 extra which meant that budget car hire was now more than double what we had budgeted for. I think this rule needs to be changed as I had the debit card I had made the booking with and my husband had our joint credit card. Is there any chance of a refund? "

" Appalling service. Budget DID NOT carry out this contract as they could not provide a vehicle. Were told it was a 2 hour wait and 11 people were ahead of us. I called your helpline soon after, they called the Belfast desk to check my account of events. The desk LIED and said we were told it was a half hour wait and we were sorted anyway as we went somewhere else. I told your adviser that they have lied, her response was as it's summer you have to expect delays - why? They entered into a contract stating they can supply a car at that time at that Airport, when they fail to do this they aren't in the least apologetic and just presume people will go elsewhere- after already paying for o be with Budget. Why offer a reservation service when you know you can't uphold it. It is a daily occurrence apparently they offer appalling service by taking bookings they CANNOT commit to and still get paid. "

You did work out the credit card details needed ammendment.

" Deceitful company! "
" Extremely poor. Having booked the rental online, I was asked at the terminal on pick up if I would like to take out the additional insurance. I have always previously declined, but the rep said it was only £7.32 per day and would reduce my excess from £1400 to £300. On this occasion and due to the low cost decided to take up the offer. A total of £36.60 for 5 days. I queried on the rental agreement before signing, the figure of £278.76 to be charged. I was informed that this was only a standard pre authorisation figure and that I would only be charged the £110 rental fee plus additional £36.60. I returned the vehicle fully refuelled and with no additional damage. I then received an invoice for £278.76 that include a fee of £129.15 Premium Protection Package. I have contacted Europcar by phone and E Mail to obtain a refund of £92.55 as I did not agree or ask for this Premium Protection Package. I have been told that as I signed the agreement I am liable. There has been no investigation into the deceitful behaviour of the rep at Belfast City Airport in offering one insurance package, but inserting a more expensive one on the agreement. Clearly an incentive or bonus for them! Europcar's attitude is basically 'tough... you signed.. You pay'. They are questioning my integrity and calling me a liar. I will not use them again and will advise friends and colleagues to steer well clear of this unscrupulous company. "

" Unfortunately I am currently speaking with trading standards regarding the hidden fees which were imposed at the airport. After paying for the car on line I was applaud to find that there was an extra £100 deposit to pay on arrival. This extra money had to come out of our budget which left us a little short, and to be told by counter staff that if i has read the small print then i would have seen the excess charges. As your web site did not stipulate any excess charges I am taking the matter up with trading standers. It is unfortunate as the rest of the service was very good. "

" I paid for a Ford Fiesta or similar, to which we got a Skoda Citigo, which, as stated above, is not at all similar. We also paid for zero excess, which was described as covering any damage that may happen. The price we paid should have included the insurance however we were forced to pay an additional £105 at the desk with budget. If selling a hire car, the price we pay through a company should be all that needs to be paid. In all, a horrific experience and put a real downer on the beginning of our trip. We fully expect a reimbursement of the zero excess payment. "
" Despite booking a vehicle through auto Europe and paying extra for zero excess, we were forced to pay additional £105 for the insurance with budget. In total we paid £300 for a Skoda citigo, which in my opinion is not at all similar to a fiesta that was shown on our booking. The man on the desk did very little to help explain what the extra charges were for and acted in an arrogant manner which annoyed us further. In all the experience was a complete disaster and we will never be using or budget again. "

I also had to pay £80 for an additional driver and I would have preferred to have been given a price for that upfront.

" Trainee staff member at collection. Took almost 50 minutes to book out car. Advised to collect car from a designated bay but found on arrival that it was not our vehicle in the bay and there was no one about to help us find vehicle. After a further 15 minutes of searching a member of staff turned up and we found the vehicle in a corner sit away from the designated bay. Although I thought I had expressed to the Desk Trainee that I was hiring vehicle on Full tank and return full tank I only found out when I returned the car that I had actually purchased a full tank and any unused fuel would not be refunded back to me when I returned the car. The charge was £72.60 for the full tank of fuel and the returning member of Hertz staff advised that I had only used about a 1/8 of the tank but as I had signed a contract for purchasing the full tank there would be no refund for unused fuel. Given the Trainee status of the staff member and the Irish Brogue accent this element of the Contract was not really properly explained and I am therefore out of pocket. I have hired a lot of vehicles using Auto Europe but never come across this method of adding a full tank of petrol and charging for it. I thought I would only be charged for the fuel I had used and that Hertz required to add to the tank to refill it!! Very unsatisfactory. It was also explained that the cost per litre was less than that charged at Fuel stations outside of Hertz and this lead me to believe that I would be getting a further benefit in selecting Hertz for my car hire. This was not the case!!!! "

" On the whole, good. I phoned the hire company before return on Sunday evening, so I knew no-one would be there and what to do. That took a lot of the worry out of it for me. Otherwise I would have been concerned that I had not handed the keys to a member of staff or in at the desk (also closed). Maybe they should discuss your return time with you and what the proces will therefore be. "
" It wasn't actually Keddy I dealt with - key collection was from the Europcar desk and car was in one of their parking bays. But it all seemed to go smoothly. Drop off was at 7pm on a Sunday night, no-one there, so it was a case of putting the keys into a drop-box and hoping for the best. The price including all the extra insurances possible was less than £20 a day, so I was happy with that. The desk staff still frighten you with all the talk of £1000 excesses when they pre-authorise your card but in theory the extra insurance cover would ensure that would be recouped in the event of a claim.

It was only when I interrogated this that it became clear that I could avoid the fees by making the call myself - something that took less than a minute. In light of this, this charge is both unnecessary and excessive. Even the DVLA staff member was shocked when I explained to them that the car hire company ordinarily charged £15 to make the call.

I told the assistant so and he promptly took the cover off ,broke off the two wings of the seat and told me it would be £5 a day to hire it .He wasn't unpleasant but I told him that it must be a joke! I therefore bumped my way around Northern Ireland on a child's booster seat !!!!! 15 minutes after taking the car the oil light came on .It was a Friday evening, nowhere in the country was open so I had to wait until the next day and drive slowly. The garage told me it was an electrical fault and there was plenty of oil in ,The light stayed on the whole time so I visited 2 other garages just in case. Next ...the alarm went off all the time for example ....12 times an hour for 30 secs up to 2 minutes ,then it wouldn't go off for 2 hours and then start again.Before you ask I had nothing on the passenger seat so it wasn't the warning for the put your seatbelt on . The last day was the most frightening....I was driving on a Motorway to Belfast and it went off almost constantly .There was a very string smell of fish and chips ,,,I can only say it was an oily smell.All in all it was dreadful "

On then inspecting the car before leaving the car was still dirty, I don't believe it had been cleaned between rentals. On the condition of the vehicle it stated that there was no damage on the car. After having a look around the car we found a dent, some scratched and chipped paint on the bonnet.

" This was a horrible experience, I was unable to get the car as when collecting I was being charged an extra £400 on top of the 140 already paid, this was for 'young drivers fees' even though the website stated these were only applicable to the ages 22-24! As I am 25 when I went to collect the car their policy was actually under 26 required young drivers fees. Was stranded at the airport approx 2 hours drive from my final destination at 10:30 at night! And to top it off when I rang the following day to get a refund o was told I may not get it! I have given all the information that was asked for and I have still not received any refund or correspondence! "

" Was taken aback by the amount of cover if we didn't pay a lot more per day on insurance than the basic quoted. I have a car and know what insurance costs! Paying more to go into the South seemed unnecessary as well as I thought we were European with no border charges and we were going to Dunfanachy we could have gone further on the North. Said and done we loved the car and all in all it didn't break the bank though could have if we'd had a accident. "

" I paid about £60 for the car hire initially! I got an offer to up-grade (I think it was about £50 again) and to get (what presented as) full comprehensive insurance. This was not the case! Ended up paying another £40 per day fully com as I had to add another driver at a cost also if £10 per day (this was previously stated). And also got charged another £20 for some premium of where the car was hired (in Belfast). Absolutely disgusted with the whole carry on! "

" Firefly turns out to be a sub-brand of Hertz. They use it to rent out their older crappier cars and obviously think that using a sub-brand will protect their master-brand. That is the sort of information Auto Europe should be highlighting to their customers so that, forwarned, they may take sensible steps to ensure any given car is really going to meet their needs. There is no reason why Auto Europe cannot demand rental companies tell them what car types typically make up say 80 percent of their fleet at any given location. Your current processes are lazy and just not good enough. "
" Whilst appreciating that Autoeurope cannot illustrate the precise car a customer will actually pick up there really does need to be some sort of common sense link. We booked a Renault Clio or similar. We were offered some unpronouncable brand which looked like a Noddy car and was obviously smaller than a Clio. This was important because as a family holiday I had deliberately not booked the cheapest car available but had chosen to trade up two sizes. When I asked for something more similiar to the Clio we were offered an Opal Corsa with 40,000 on the clock, a part worn tyre on the front axel, no radio ariel (and hence very poor radio reception) no air conditioning despite specifically booking air con, a speedometer marked only in KPH despite being in the UK (is that even legal?) and the car's information sysytems in Polish and no obvious way to change it. A really disappointing experience which negatively impacted the entire ten day holiday. "

My flight was delayed which was traumatic enough but then on top when I ring auto Europe I was told I would miss my car, be stranded at the airport and get charged £110 out of my £180 for cancelling! I was also told it would be ok as I could pick a car up the next day at the airport at a cost of around £360, gee thanks. Even when I told Yvgeiny I wouldn't be near the airport the next as one way or another we had to get to our destination that night he still said we could pick it up at the airport the next day. It took 20 minutes to get through and then put on hold for a further 10 minutes and told me the poor options. He said I could ring Hertz but in all this time he could've rung which would've been good customer service. Hertz were fantastic start to finish whereas Auto Europe just tried to make a bad day even worse and laid all the blame on me when we were upset enough by a four hour plus flight delay which clearly wasn't our fault "

" I was not aware that I could arrange the 0 excess damage waiver payment at the counter when I picked the car up at the airport branch; therefore I rang the Auto Europe customer services and kindly requested if I could be refunded the extra premium I was charged for. The customer service agent was not very helpful and did not even allow me to speak to a supervisor . He declined my request stating it was my error of choice. When I spoke to Hertz they said when this happens the third party normally refunds the money as a good will gesture as the terms are not very clear. I'm not happy at all and won't be using or recommending vAuto Europe ever again. "
" Hertz was good but they should tell customers that they can pay the waiver damage which covers the vehicle for 0 percent excess at the counter when they pick up the car. "

" My experience with AutoEurope was excellent as always. "
" When I picked the car up, the experience was excellent. When I dropped the car off it was a VERY different experience. As soon as I dropped it back the Hertz man was inspecting the car, within minutes he had found a chip on the windscreen. The chip was so tiny, I would have never seen it when I picked the car up, it was in my line of slight when driving and I hadn't even spotted it. It was like Dave knew exactly where to find it. I was then charged £400 for a new windscreen. He knew that I had no choice and as we were clearly in a rush I didn't have time to argue the charges. He told me not to worry and to contact the complaints teams and it would all get sorted. I contacted the complaints team when I got home. To say that they were unhelpful it an understatement. Hertz customer service is an absolute joke. I did not take out a Hertz insurance policy as I have my own insurance for hire cars. Hertz didnt know this and I feel as though they charged me this as they thought I had no insurance. I would love to know how many other people have been charged for this 'chip' as it seems Hertz must make a lot of money on the side by charging customers damage for damage which they haven't caused. Hertz do not take photos of the windscreen prior to you taking the rental and its clear to see why, I would have had to go over the car with a magnified glass to find this chip. I can not prove that it was caused in my care, but they also can not prove that the 'chip' was not there when I picked it up. I am a fair person and had I caused the damage I would have no problem in sorting this out and paying the money, like I said I do have a private policy for hiring cars. I would not recommend FireFly or Hertz, awful customer service and smug workers when you drop the car off as they know you have no choice but to pay. AVOID HERTZ AND FIREFLY!! "

" Very hard to find counter in airport. It was not clear on the voucher Firefly are actually Hertz. Hertz requested paper copies of a proof of address such as bank statement or utility bill which I dont usually travel with, otherwise they were not going to hire me the car. This policy was not outlined during the booking. It caused much inconvenience Once the car was picked up it did not have a full tank of gas, which I payed for. They send the pre-inspection report by email. So if you dont have a smart phone or internet there is no way to check the pre condition. I had to do a hand sketch of all the damage tat took extra time Staff did not check the vehicle once I returned it "

" I hired this car for 24 hours to attend a funeral. I travelled barely 15 miles in total without incident. On returning the car, the chap in charge immediately flagged a chip in the alloy on the left front wheel. This was not apparent in the photos I was shown when taking the car, so he attributed this to me in quite an aggressive manner. These photos however were not clear enough to show detail of the alloys. We subsequently took further photos of the car when I returned it. The so-called damage was not apparent in these photos either. I had a flight to catch and could not contest this for any longer. I completed a form explaining my position on this, however have not heard anything since. I was assured this form would be emailed to me within 15 minutes - that has not been forthcoming. I am most dissatisfied with this standard of service and the accusations. I most certainly would not recommend Firefly and would warn others against using them. "

The same well established and long serving staff always meet and serve us well on both arrival and departure. Excellent vehicles. Very much on top of their game and too be applauded for their excellent customer satisfaction and care. No stunts pulled like additional charges upon arrival for going over the border into the Irish Republic or attempting to charge for a single stone chip to bodywork, hardly visible to the eye, allegedly found upon return which occurred with other companies we engaged in the early years and too whom we would not return. Well done Team Hertz "
" Better communication between Alamo and enterprise. The representative attempted to charge a surcharge for taking the car into Southern Ireland even though this was covered in the rental agreement. "
" Very helpful friendly staff. No queue . Car ready. Helpful staff on return . "
" A bit concerned as I am made a booking over the phone and did not receive an email confirmation. A few days later I phoned Auto Europe and the person on the phone could not find my booking.

" The staff were friendly and helpful especially the person who handed us the key as he gave me a quick training on driving automatic van as it was my first experience with automatic ones. Only drawback was the vehicle started displaying 'Injection Fault' after we travelled for some time and we had to switch off and back on to get going. "
" I stupidly forgot my credit cards , but my wife had hers. She had no license with her but I had mine. We had both passports and offered to pay the extras in cash and leave passports etc. Budget refused to give us a car. You/they obviously have their reasons which I respect but it was the way it was dealt with. "
" Good service although very unclear that the driver needed to have credit card in their name. Also insurance was unclear as this was not through Hertz and we were still liable up to £1200 if accident happened and would have to claim back from your insurance. "
" We arrived at the desk at 8.00am to collect car. There were a couple of issues about insurance and driver and the woman at the desk was awful. She had no customer service skills whatsoever she was very rude, abrupt and most unhelpful. Not a good start to the holiday! I hope your computer system can identify this woman by the fact that she dealt with us and she is spoken to accordingly. I would not recommend Hertz to others because of her attitude. "
" Tried to sell me insurance at £27 per day - more expensive than the hire car itself - especially when I had already put in place excess insurance at £2.10 per day. More damage on car than was annotated, which meant a journey to the drop-off area to get that noted before I left. Agent on front desk very friendlyand helpful "

" I use Hertz in Derry quite frequently and always find staff very welcoming and efficient. "

" Friendly, quick and efficient. However, the car wasn't clean and several dents weren't noted. Also I felt the £1200 excess was excessive (pardon the pun!) "
" The car hire itself was great but because I had put in 8pm as a rough return time for the car when I was getting a quote, I assumed it wouldnt matter if it got returned an hour or two later as I had in fact paid for 4 days i.e. up until early afternoon the following day . When I rang you to ask if it was OK to return the car up to an hour later, I was horrified to be told we would have to pay extra for this. Out of order. Angela. "
" Car very standard and without AC which I had originally specified. Not sure if this was down to Budget or AutoEurope though? "
" Having used them previously I find they are always too keen to oversell their additional fee-daily liability insurance and not altogether pleased when you don't take it out. "

" Easy to book good value "
" Friendly helpful staff "
" Smooth booking online, good prices. Must inform about minimum £1200 credit card limit, as this is not the average limit to have for 'normal' people "
" It didn't say straight out that one needs £1200 as credit card limit in order to rent a car. I was forced to pay for the full insurance because: 1) I don't have £1200 limit on my card, 2) I was not allowed to split it up to two cards, or use a card of my friend (who was the passenger). Secondly, I was not informed about the fee for paying with a card, so I wasn't given a chance to not be charged for this. I signed my initials by the first line of the receipt (where the costumer service agent told me to), which was the price excluding the fee and some of the full insurance. Very misleading and horrible information! Will never use Hertz again. "

" NO ONE AT MAIN DESK AT AIRPORT AND ONLY ONE PERSON DEALING WITH EVERYTHING OUT IN THE CAR HIRE AREA... "
" Generally satisfied though I found the information on the booking website a bit deceptive. Having booked a car from the smallest category around 4 weeks previously, I opted to book the next size vehicle up to have a bit more space. I was therefore surprised when I got to the airport rental desk to be offered the same model car as previously. I was told that the cost for renting a car from the smallest category and from the next category up would have been the same though I have no way of proving that. I was also told that there would have been no mid range models available so why did the website not advise me of this at the time of booking. Although satisfied with the car I did get, I felt I had been deceived. "

By the time I was served there were 4 customers in the queue behind me. I was served promptly as I advised from the offset that I had an annual policy for excess insurance and would therefore not require their cover. Also the car I was given had ROI registration plates which restricted where I could park the car overnight (yes even today) and also the speedometer was in km/hr and I was constantly trying to work out what speed I was doing in mph to ensure I didn't exceed local speed limits. "
" All went as planned, good car, clean and economical. "
" Good service, the new system of e-mailing any defects on the car is good if its not raining when you pick it up, also anyone who is not tech savvy will not be able to compare the damage without a paper record. "
" Only problem was when I returned car at 8pm the returns yard was closed and I had to go all the way to where I originally picked it up and walk in pouring rain to the terminal to return keys while keeping my ride home waiting. Otherwise it was a great experience and a nice car to drive. Thank you. "
" I have used Auto Europe several times and I have always been very satisfied. "
" I have been using Budget for several years and I am always satisfied with their service. Staff are always polite and efficient and car is always clean and reliable. "
" Made it very easy to compare and select best deal for car hire "
" Very friendly and efficient service. Pleased with the car provided, size/model as expected, in good condition, fully fueled etc. "
" Great service, good to get a Ford at this price. Would use again "
" Car a ford fiesta was good however they gave me a roi registered car whose milometer was in kilometers and not miles with no conversion. Very difficult to observe speed limits!!!!! Luckily I am familiar with the conversion and was able to cope although frustrating at time's apart from that car was excellent "
" 30 minute queue at check in desk, then a further 15 minute wait for car to be ready. "
" Friendly and helpful. "
" The lady at the desk was very helpful and friendly. "
" I was disappointed bythe amount of local extras I was expected to pay before they would release the car to me. It certainly left me short of money for my holiday. "
" The car was fine however they did not advise me there were no filling stations close to the airport, this was a problem on my return as I couldn't find anywhere to refill the car, and I didn't have time to drive back to the city. The car was returned half full and I was advised I would be charged over three times the price of patrol per litre. Very disappointed "
" Having hired cars world wide, and company wide (Large companies, to small independents) Enterprise Aldergrove, were the most sensible, customer service I ever received. Enterprise communally attempt an "Americanised" service, that is not welcome to non USA citizens. Aldergrove Enterprise have got it right, and should be used as nationwide benchmark. They are business like, and flexible - **Other Branches take note**** "
" The service I received from Enterprise was excellent. The only thing I disliked was the fact you took the money for the rental at the time of booking (even though it was done months in advance) and you took the excess charge at the time of collecting the car. Very quick to take but not very quick to refund the excess, I also put additional petrol in the car which I am sure they will not off set against my costs - disappointing but better than running out of fuel in the middle of no where. "
" We did not see anyone from ALAMO, desk was empty in the airport, queue at Enterprise so we made our way around to the Enterprise depot / collection point. Very good service from Enterprise - it would have been nice to get a map with the car - Satnav only really works if you know where you are going not if you want to explore. "
" I was not informed of car rental company name before arrival. "
" See issue below. "
" We were charged over £100 extra when we picked up our car from the airport as I didn't know my pin for my credit card and their swipe machine was broken, also they wouldn't accept my wife's credit card. I will be making a complaint. "
" Confirmation of rental had not been emailed to me 24hrs after booking, and I had to phone Auto Europe to ask for it to be sent. Although I booked 3 days' ahead it was considered by Auto Europe to be a "last minute booking". "
" I was not advised that Hertz now charge £5 for use of a credit/debit card, but noticed this when I looked in detail at the rental printout the next day. On returning the car I said this was the first time I had ever been charged for using a credit card for car hire - I think it may be impossible to hire a car without one so, in my view, it should not be charged for separately. The Hertz agent said the £5 charge would be refunded if I paid £60 cash for the additional driver insurance - which I did. Let's see if the refund is actually made! "
" Thought everything was paid for in advance. Turned out the insurance still needed to be paid for. Lady made me feel pressurised to buy. Not convinced I got the best deal now Really didn't understand the whole fuel thing either "
" I would recommend this company for pricing and availability I have reduced the recommendation by one point due to confusion as to where BELFAST was. Alder grove airport is described as Belfast international airport but is at Antrim some distance from Belfast. On reviewing my booking quickly I saw that my booking was for "Belfast, Belfast international airport" Not city, I believe there should be some more clarity in this addressing. Nevertheless the counter staff at Belfast City Airport resolved my mistake. "
" Great service from desk staff who took time and seemed to put extra effort into resolving a booking issue "
" Always smoth and easy. Excellent service. "
" Excellent service and very friendly. Cars always in great condition. "
" Auto Europe need to clarify in detail that a credit card in the named drivers name needs to be presented at the hire desk. Not everyone has a credit card and hence upon getting to the desk and finding this out you don't get a hire car and you don't get a refund either. It just needs to be brought more to the buyers attention. "
" The woman behind the desk was unhelpful, rude and unwilling to even let me finish my question never mind answer it. She was in a rush and pretty much told me to move away from the desk. I was then stranded in Belfast international with my 3 year old son. Not every one has a credit card these days as Visa/MasterCard debit cards are supposed to be as acceptable. I was told that money couldn't be held against a debit card, which is rubbish as I've used this service before. "
" The booking experience online was fine, I printed the voucher and read the small print which I was happy with as it seemed all quite normal stuff for car hire. When we arrived in Derry at the Hertz desk we were advised we needed to pay/hold £1200 on a credit or cm debit card. This is very excessive I have never been asked to hold that amount of money before in a cars for a hire car, needless to say I didn't have that kind of available funds in my account so I then had to pay an additional £20 per day for the exclusive package! This has now cost me an extra £80 on top of what I originally paid for the car hire! Your small print should show that in Northern Ireland the cost of hiring a car is a lot more than anywhere else in the world!! "

When we actually collected the car we noticed that the fuel tank was not full but we had to take the car back full! We did not have time to complain at the time. "
" Competitively priced car hire and happy with your service! "
" We arrived at Belfast Airport and found the Budget Cars desk which was manned by just one person and it took 40 minutes to get to the front of the queue whilst the desks for Europcar, Hertz and Enterprise were all manned by 2 or 3 staff who cleared their queues within 15 minutes! Eventually, we were given the keys for a Nissan Micra and directions to the car lot where we were to pick-up the vehicle and told - 'if you have any problems, speak to the guys down there'. Unfortunately, the car had more damage than was indicated on the paperwork given to us by the rep on the Budget desk but there was no one around to query this at the car lot and we had to return to their desk in arrivals to sort it out! I would NOT recommend Budget to anyone! "
" No Queue on arrival or return - all went smoothly on both "
" The car given to us was registered in Southern Ireland and the speedometer was therefore in kilometres/hr no guidance was given in this, we were not even warned of this before setting off. Luckily we had s smart phone with us so we could check a the common speed limits and convert them into kilometres/hr. This I feel could and should have been done for us or in fact a cheap conversion sticker could have been placed in the speedometer in advance. I mentioned my surprise at the speedometer being in kilometres/hr on my return and no apology was given it was just simply stated that they were busy thus the southern registered car, not very good customer service for such a minor thing to eliminate "
" Perhaps someone could be at hand to show you the main controls of the car. It took me sometime to find out how to operate the rear wiper. "
" Very pleased with the service I received, and enjoyed driving the new Focus that I was given. "
" Very difficult to complete your survey using a phone. Particularly as you're tagged straight into an advertisement. Easier possibly on a tablet or pc. Guys at the airport were great to deal with from pick up and drop off. Good people. Thanks "
" Limited hours service; no-one to answer questions; no-one to verify car on check out; "
" Car was poorly maintained. Tyres were almost bald but I was informed they were "OK for a tiny bit more" when I pointed this out. "
" Good service, as always. "
" Terrible. Car was registered in the South of Ireland therefore I had no idea how fast (or slow) I was travelling as the speedometer was in kilometres and no MPH on the dial. Car was really really badly scratched and damaged. Embarrassed to drive it. Big stain on the drivers seat. Very poor. I paid for a Ford Focus with A/C. My car was an Astra without A/C. I did inform the Hertz employee in the airport when I returned the car but I doubt if he will report my comments back. He explained the cars condition away as they are "working" cars! In 30 years of hiring cars this was the worst example of one I've ever driven. "
" Staff were friendly enough but I had ordered a child's car seat as I was travelling with my 2 year old. On collecting keys I was told to go to the office and I would be given a car seat. I found this strange as I assumed the car seat would be fitted in the car already. I went down to the office area outside in which I met a friendly and helpful gentleman. he 'carried' the car seat to my hire car but told me I had to fit the seat myself as he didn't know how to. I found this very disappointing as I had to make my daughter sit of the grass at back of the car in order for me to do this and keep her safe(as we were travelling ourselves). I have hired cars from other companies and have never had to do this. "
" not enough staff at reception desk, had to wait in queue for some time. staff were very good but when a lot of people come off a flight looking for car hire more staff are needed. we had pre booked our car hire but if we had not we would have gone to one of the other car hire firms at the airport due to queueing. "
" Auto Europe was good and the prices better then the actual company website. However I wish someone would of told me about Hertz taking £1200 from my account in case of any damage and that I wont get it back until 25 days later. I have rent to pay. "
" Hertz taking £1200 from my account in case of any damage and that I wont get it back until 25 days later. I have rent to pay. It was lucky I had that in my account. "
" Extremely pleasant and helpful. "
" Will use again - no problems encountered. "
" Hertz lack of charging for taking car over Irish border assisted our decision "
" Much better than sixth which I used to use when going to Belfast "
" I wasn't happy that the car was considerably more marked and scratched than had been pre-marked on the sheet I had to sign to obtain keys. When I pointed out the other defects in the car aprk I was told that they didn't matter - how am I to discern between marks that do and don't matter, when I'm told that ANY marks. bumps or scrapes will be chargeable? "
" The guy at the counter at Belfast airport was very curt and unhelpful. He practically insisted that I had to buy Budget collision damage waiver insurance for my trip, which I didn't want as I had my own. I accidentally locked out my PIN on my card, he insisted it wouldn't be possible to use an alternative card to pay, but for some reason the charge was accepted on my card anyway. He gave no explanation or apology, and I found the whole experience discourteous. "
" I was given a total wreck of a car. It was a disgraceful mess. I could not take it on long journeys as it would have stopped working. I have emailed HERTZ. "
" Over charged me, held £3255 deposit which maxed my credit card leaving me no funds for my trip away. This was a friends wedding which I was paying lots towards rooms for guests etc, however thanks to Hertz it all went very very wrong. "
" There was a hidden 144 euro charge that I was not made aware of when booking. It was not until I had made all my flight and accommodation bookings that I was advised of this charge, by which time it would have cost me more money to cancel all those bookings. Very unhappy. "
" I was charged £5 for using a credit/debit card and 144 euros for taking the car from Derry to Dublin. The car was a RoI registered car therefore needed to go back to Dublin anyway, so why was I charged this when I saved Hertz the cost of a driver. Very unhappy. "
" Easy to use "
" The staff in Belfast International Airport were fantastic- thanks again for everything "
" Very pleased as always with Auto Europe. Efficient service, value for money costs and good information provided re the rental. "
" Generally we find the cars good from Hertz and the one we had was too. The service at the point of collection and drop off was also good. However, the documentation was unclear so I have put towards dissatisfied . We have just received our credit card bill and we have a debit amount from Hertz for £187.30. We have no idea what this is for as there should not have been any charges as we had prepaid the car hire with Auto Europe. We handed the documentation in to the Hertz desk at Belfast airport and did not agree to any additional charges. As is usual they took our credit card number. All was said to be satisfactory on returning the car. I wonder if you can help us with this please. Late responding as I have been in hospital. Thank you "
" very pleased , staff very friendly and helpful. "
" No suggestions on service, all very good. "
" Great service. "
" excellent service "
" fantastic, supportive and friendly service "
" £84 for a 10 day rental just can't be beat, excellent prices, I always use Auto Europe. First class service. "
" Waited about 1 hour in a queue due to a lot of passengers booking through Hertz, but got a free upgrade, so not too bad as the staff were trying to process as quickly as possible. "
" I had no issues to complain about at all. When I wanted to change from one class of car to another online it was completely hassle free. "
" Excellent service by Mathew at Belfast International airport and by the young man who took re delivery of the vehicle at the end of the hire "
" Excellent "
" Great friendly staff "
" No problems everyone very helpful. "
" No problems "
" Great deal which included an extra driver at no extra charge "
" Trouble free booking process and I'm very happy with the service I received. "
" Excellent service received both on pick up and drop off. "
" as always, very smooth operation, all worked out well, thank you "
" very friendly assistant, who gave us good advice and help. "
" Efficient and professional "
" Very professional "
" I am very satisfied with the service "
" Very good, clear documentation and great communication! "
" No mention of the 'premium location' fee, everything else was first class! Would use again. "
" Always great prices through Auto-Europe! Also easy to change your booking if you need to. Sometimes don't get the best cars through the car hire companies, but they hire them out through Auto-Europe to obtain business share. "
" Hertz usually have great cars, but they now use an email system instead of a paper sheet to record vehicle defects. The problem with that is the email takes too long to arrive, 10 minutes plus so that you are left waiting by the car to check the recorded damage or you leave without checking. Also, the photos in the PDF don't show the slight but significant damage that well so it is impossible to check the car against the recorded damage. Apparently the photos are taken every time the car is returned, but they have a lot of cars coming and going. In saving a bit of paper, they have created quite some frustration and worry. "
" Just keep up the good service. "
" All good. "
" no comments re improvement. My booking was sorted quickly and efficiently and I was away from the airport in quick time "
" as above "
" Excellent service, fast efficient and cheap! "
" No improvements, we booked in advance and despite there being a queue we were seen to in less than 10 minutes. "
" Very helpful and customer friendly. "
" Very helpful and customer friendly . "
" I have used Auto Europe many times before and have been totally satisfied by their telephone booking. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the car hire company Hertz. "
" This the second time that Auto Europe have provided me with a Hertz car- I have been dissatisfied both times. This time the vehicle provided smelt very strongly of cigarretts and the 'service light' on the dashboard remained lit. There was no Hertz man at the collection point so I phoned Hertz in the terminal building with no reply. I had to proceed on my journey because of an urgent appointment. On my return I was told that they knew about the Service light and that they could not stop customers smoking in the vehicle!!! There was a 'no smoking' sticker inside the vehicle. I had to purchase an Air Fresher spray, sprayed every time I entered and left the vehicle. This was not a satisfactory or acceptable excuse and very unpleasant fo me. "
" used many times and very good "
" Gave lots of lovely pictures of the minor damage before pick up.Should also have checked the exhaust banging on the chassis in low revs. Really annoying. Also there was nobody there to check the condition of the car on return, which means they could say the car had been damaged (which it wasnt) whilst I had been using it. Rather dissatisfied with such a large company. "
" As always and I use you quite a lot, it was very satisfactory. All went smoothly which made it stress free. thank you. "
" very smooth operation, pleasant staff and all went well. "
" The booking process is helpful and the communication is great. I like the way you operate. "
" The assistant at the airport desk was only interested in selling me extra insurance. I repeated twice that I had Platinum cover for my car hire, because I use car hire also in Europe. Then when I asked to confirm that I got the car with a tank full of petrol the assistant said yes and I had to return the car with the tank full. Had hate looked at the paperwork he would have noticed that it was indicated that there was limited petrol in the tank. I had to call the desk and tell them that the system showed only two 'black bars' for the level of petrol. I was asked to take a picture of that, which I did and I still have. All of this I told the assistant when I returned the car, but I received no apology. Returning the car could be improved. "
" very pleased "
" very friendly and efficient "
" Was a lot cheaper than going direct and I got the car they said "
" Very well organised and very good car "
" Easy to book and much cheaper than direct booking "
" Although all members of staff in Belfast were very friendly they were short staffed on the day and the young woman assisting the guy with my collection whilst still serving herself faiked to see I had already got excess insurance cover with my original booking which I had forgotten, but was clearly shown on papetwork. She didnt tell me the fee was a daily fee not for duration of rental. I rang to complain but as yet 10 days later I have recieved no response. I am most upset and feel it was missold and misleading. "
" Everything was great!! Easy site to use, Good price and we will definitely use this again! "
" Everything was great!! Lovely car and good service! Will certainly do this again!!! "
" Auto Europe ROCK ! Consistently brilliant ! "
" The 2 dents on the car were marked on the wrong place on the pre-rental. I telephoned the office from the car park and it was corrected quickly (I hope). "
" Easy booking, cheap rates. Travelling to Belfast by boat, park your car in Cairnryan, go as foot passengers and hire a car through Autoeurope and save lots (we saved £112) verus taking our own car "
" Quick and friendly service, car was as described "
" Easy booking great price "
" No car available on arrival had to wait two and a half hours for car. Once car arrived it was great no problems "
" Very happy with your service "
" Overall the service is good. However, the return office in the returns area at Belfast City Airport is often unmanned, which means that returned cars are not inspected and signed off when returned, but some time after the renter has left. Other hire companies seem to have more staff available for returns. "
" Efficient booking of hire car which lead to a smooth pick up "
" efficient service at the arrival desk and the returns office. Not totally happy about the pre-inspection report being a series of photos online which do not show any detail whatsoever - preferred to have a bit of paper with the marks drawn on the diagram of the car - might be old fashioned but it showed where the scratches were! "
" Very easy and straightforward booking process. "
" Very pleasant staff. Car was really nice. "
" Good information and competitive price. Also ability to travel into the Republic of Ireland without an extra charge. "
" Very pleasant customer service attendant at desk when I picked up the car. Also very helpful attendants when I returned the car. Well done Hertz. Only down side is the Hertz £18.99 per day excess protection charge quoted by Hertz.... if more reasonable I would have considered it. Got a better deal online. More competitive price there and you'd make more money. "
" I founded the best deals on this website! Super! "
" Always very helpful and great. Cars very good in condition and very clean. No hustle at all. Highly recomend. "

" very pleased with the service we received, The Gentleman on the desk was extremely helpful as were the men at the compound. "
" same comments as above apply. Car was very clean and in good condition. "
" Good value for money. Good choice of car hirers. "
" Had a problem with a car from Enterprise (through Auto Europe) last time round and they gave me a complimentary upgrade on this latest hire without any fuss or bother. No problems. "
" Will use again , great service "
" Great company "
" Auto Europe always give a choice of car hire companies at very competative prices. "
" I have hired from Hertz in Belfast several times now and the staff are always very friendly. I am always happy with the cars provided and the price has always been competative. "
" Very easy to book and v good value "

" Excellent Service. "
" Totally satisfied web site easy to use and well informed with emails great value for money. "
" Excellent service from collecting car in airport to returning car and the car was in super condition lovely and clean . "
" The only problem I ever have is with the long pickup delays at one of the counters in Cagliari. It's the counter that services several rental firms including Sicily by Car, Dollar and Thrifty "
" Excellent helpful bunch of people "
" Have used Auto Europe on many occasions and have always been happy with the service. "
" Very good service would use again. "
" very quick and efficient. "
" quick and efficient. "
" Needed to change time of pick up. spoke to Auto Europe representative who dealt with my request quickly, competently and in a very friendly manner. "
" On returning car, I was informed that there was a small mark by the rim of a wheel due to grit from the road and that there would be a charge. I asked to see the manager as that in my opinion was regular wear and tear. The manager agreed with my opinion and swiftly dealt with the situation. All Budget staff need to be aware of what is perceived as reasonable wear and tear. Therefore that experience made me feel most uncomfortable and I would certainly be wary of using Budget in the future. Trying to get money out of customers by fabricating faults on the returned cars, is not a way of keeping customers returning. "
" Competitive pricing. Efficient website. "
" Efficient staff upon arrival at airport. Car was clean and just what we ordered. Car conveniently located just outside airport "
" Excellent web site, booking online very easy and effective. Competitive pricing structure, no complaints. "
" The car was clean and in good condition. All marks shown to be identified on paperwork by Budget staff member. Car had full tank of fuel as expected. No issues with Budget and would be more than happy to use again and recommend to friends. "
" Very good value, simple booking system. "
" Our booking was made out of hours by accident of the international booking process. However the Hertz rep waited 90 minutes longer to meet us at the booking desk with no qualms to help or assist us. Excellent service. "
" Website is very easy to use. "
" Staff friendly and efficient. "
" No problem hiring the car. "
" I am not happy about the attitude to most car hire companies in UK regarding the excess arrangements. Most of my car hire experience over the past 10 years has been in the Canary islands where there is no excess liability - why can't UK companies operate this way? "
" Auto Europe is very good and Leo at your call center is the best I always try to use him "
" New check-in system at BHD where they get you to sign on a ipad type device to accept any damages on car yet you haven't even seen car. this should be done i the car park after customer has had a chance to check over car. Our rental had several other marks/damaged not listed & no one from Hertz around. Also we did return car full of fuel but noted they charge OVER £300 if you don't - this is extortionate and cannot be justified!!! "
" good service ,helpful when we had a problem with credit card,they sorted it for us.car was excellent spotlessly clean and very economic ,well pleased all round. "
" had problems at dublin airport 2yrs ago was a bit apprehensive about using hertz again ,but was well pleased with the excellent service at belfast international,my faith restored "
" The online booking procedure was very easy & I had my car sorted out within about 20 minutes. "
" The pickup & drop off procedures were simple. The staff at Belfast was friendly & helpful. "
" Booking through Auto Europe was trouble free and the rental was as expected. "
" Hertz rental desk is conveniently situated within the airport hall. I received good service and provided with the car which I expected in a clean condition. The Ford Focus was very suitable for my needs. Returning the car also went smoothly. "
" Really good thank you. I was very late in -10 hours late in fact and the car was still waiting for me and in almost brand new condition. Thank you Auto Europe -that service is why I have used you all over the world for the last 15 years and have no intention of using anyone else. "
" A little tricky to find initially but good. "
" Booking was easy and straight forward. "
" Having hired cars recently Hertz are by far and away the most organised hire company. The is minimal queuing or waiting time. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. The are located for pick up and drop off in the most convenient place. Importantly there are no added extras or unwanted suprises and you get a car equivalent to the one you actually ordered. The car we got was extremely good. All in all a very good car hire experience and highly recommended. "
" QUICK AND EASY WEB SITE BOOKING AND INEXPENSIVE "
" EFFICIENT, FAST AND FRIENDLY CHECK-IN TO PICK UP CAR. WAS UPGRADED TO AUDI A1. ONLY SLIGHT PROBLEM WAS THAT CAR PARK PICK-UP POINT HAS NO HERTZ STAFF SO I HAD TO RETURN TO TERMINAL BUILDING TO REPORT A MINOR CHIPPED PAINT FLAW THAT HAD NOT BEEN PRE-IDENTIFIED TO ME "
" Can't fault you, very very Pleased "
" Didn't expect to get a Dacia Duster. Brilliant "
" I think the description/dent/scratch form should have a legend to show what kind of damage already exists. "
" Very friendly at the desk "
" Disappointed that there was no manual in the car for instructions on how to use the sat nav... "
" Best value for money I found when searching online. "
" Staff on the desk on arrival were very friendly and efficient. Member of staff met us immediately on our return. Whole process was very smooth. "

" An easy trouble-free car hire experience. Love the excess refund cover which I always take as it's so much cheaper that the waiver option offered by the rental provider..... thankfully I've never had to use it in anger!! "
" Quick & efficient pick up. Was offered an upgrade option for a small premium but was very happy with the vehicle provided. Would definitely use the Auto Europe / Hertz combination again "

" Excellent value, Excellent service. "
" No problem in hiring the car and picking up at Belfast City Airport. Returned to city Airport where car was checked while we filmed the car in case of any difficulty. Something I always do "
" Easy to deal with. Car is checked on return. See coment above "
" all seemed good keep up the good work "
" Budget when we picked up the car. they tried to hard sell their insurance. Basically said your excess refund is no good. fortunately theirs was so expensive we didn't fall for that. and we didn't need any claim. otherwise car was good "
" The car was ready on time and the rental company, Enterprise, were very helpful and courteous "
" Enterprise were extremely helpful and courteous. "
" Whilst the service I received from Auto Europe was absolutely fine, the car I was offered by Hertz on arrival was not as booked. It was changed on request. "
" The car I was offered by Hertz on arrival was not as booked. It was changed on request. "
" This is the second time I've used Auto Europe and I can thoroughly recommend them. Online booking was intuitive and fast and the voucher was accepted immediately by the Hertz check-in desk. Trouble-free car hire, thank you. "
" The desk guys were polite and efficient and made the pickup & drop-off appointments really easy. Thank you Hertz. "
" I had to contact Autoeurpoe by telephone as I have a problem of not being able to complete my business on line. This happens every time which is frequent. On the last occassion when I checked the voucher I recieved on line i found that the pickup and drop off locations where incorrect. When I phoned to get this ammended it cost me more money for a mistake which wasnot of my making.The person took down the wrong airport in Belfast. However this will not stop me from using Autoeurope as I find them to be usually very good. "
" Very helpful and effecient. "
" Easy to navigate website; easy to arrange hire "
" easy collection; easy return; polite and competent friendly staff at desk and return centre "
" Excellent service. Very helpful staff. No issue when flight times were changed twice!!! "
" Very friendly & helpful staff. Car was ready to pick up on arrival. Staff out to check car as soon as we had parked. Great service. "
" No real problems, but found the voucher system confusing...never received an e mail with attached voucher, had to login and find it. I think I should have had an e mail. "
" Car supplied would have been great...however.... There was a dent in the bonnet which was not picked up by their inspector on his check list. (I spotted it myself) The tax disc had expired in March (I was told this "wasn't a problem" when I enquired). The handbrake was in a dangerous condition and the cable was so stretched that I had to leave the car in the appropriate gear, even on a very slight slope. The car should not have been supplied in this state! "
" I don't know anything about Auto Europe, as all my dealings were with Budget "
" Everything with Auto Europe went without a hitch especially as I needed to make some changes to before the trip. "
" Not happy at all - when I got to the desk to pick up the car the lady said I didn't have any insurance, I challenged this and said I thought I had but she said no. The person who was travelling with me also heard her say this - so rather than going with our insurance I ended up paying more. Once checking this out we realised she meant 'full' insurance - she was not clear and I feel her tactic was a little underhand and unfair. "

" Hertz at Derry airport are always great to use "
" Very easy process. No hassle "
" A little delay at the desk. One person attending but on the phone. Would have thought there would have been back up "

" I was told the wrong location to pick up the car and the vehicle seemed as if it hadn't been prepared before handing over to me. But I was still reasonably well satisfied given the price and the fuel economy. "
" Website really easy to use, terms and conditions very easy to understand and the prices were extremely competitive. "

" Budget are only interested in selling their own insurance to you. When you mention that you have bought insurance online, their comment was that it was not possible to buy insurance online. When they are shown the insurance, their comment is that it's not worth the paper it's written on. "

" you do yourselves an injustice . i phoned to confirm that you were on site in teh airpoprt terminal and was initially told i was. the paper work however told me i needed a shuttle bus and i was very unhappy . however of course the company was on site at the terminal "
" could do with a few more people at the check in . there was only one person there and a queue of 10 people for cars. fortunately i was secodn but others were very unhappy "
" Very simple and easy to follow on-line booking process and competitive price quoted. Will definitely use Auto Europe for my next trip. "
" Very friendly and helpful staff at Belfast International Airport. Quick and efficient service when collecting and returning car. Would definitely be happy to use Budget again. "
" Easy to use and competitive prices "
" Offered upgrade to BMW for £15 per day- the worst Car i have ever driven. Uncomfortable, gear box awful, access restrictive, all in kilometres when road signs in mph. Feel conned into a worse vehicle than I booked "
" great service provided "
" customer skills very good , very friendly and helpful "
" Good service,, quick and efficient. "
" Have used this service many times. The staff at derry are always pleasant and efficient. "
" The booking process was simple and easy. Car hire is very reasonably priced and lower than the competition. "
" There was no representative available to receive the car and check in my presence "
" Very good service. Usually cheaper than booking directly. "
" The vehicle was fine, however the hard sell of their Excess Insurance policy is aggressive to the point of being intimidating. They offered it to me at the Arrivals Hall desk and, on my refusal, attempted to discredit my annual policy covering excess insurance. Upon collecting the keys from the car park office they told me that there had been a mistake at the arrivals desk and they needed my credit card to process payment for their excess insurance policy. I explained, again, that I did not want to take their excess insurance and they again tried to push the policy aggressively. All the hire companies try to sell this policy but the other companies do not continue to push it aggressively after a refusal. "
" All went well, checkin and check ou were fast and efficient "
" Fast and efficient collection from the Budget desk. "
" See above comment. "
" the additional driver charge and the full insurance charge hertz wanted was extortionate. "
" see above "
" I've been using Auto Europe for a while now and they're my first choice when it comes to renting a car. Good prices, flexible and reliable. Very happy in my dealings with them. "
" Friendly counter staff and hassle free, returning the vehicle was straightforward. "
" Having to wait 1 1/2 hours in the queue to actually get the car is not acceptable. The car once we got it was fine. "
" same as above. Having to wait in the queue for 1 1/2 hours with 2 young children, going past the time we actually rented the car from is disgusting and a lot of hard work trying to keep the children happy in a line. Put everyone in a grumpy unhappy mood "
" fantastic great service "
" friendly great service "
" Convenient, easy to use online, competitive price "
" Car was very nice to drive and service at the desk was good. However, I am very unhappy about the policy of charging £850 excess to my credit card upfront in the assumption that there might be damage. Is this because I would not pay the expense of Budget's excess policy and took out my own good yet much less expensive policy in advance? This has not applied to other car hire I have taken recently and seems like sharp practice to me. I think I will avoid Budget car hire in future. "
" Excellent price good car easy pick up and drop off would recommend "
" good car easy pick up and drop off would recommend "
" What I found useful about booking through AutoEurope as opposed to similar sites is that the options returned displayed the hire company the car would actually be booked with. WIth other sites this is not always known until you have made the booking. For me it is important to see this information over others as I may prefer to pay a little more to go with a company I have used before that I've had a positive experience with rather than one that I haven't or haven't used before. "
" Overall I was satisfied. We had no issues with the car and it was checked over and signed off when we returned it so we had no concerns that they'd try and hit us with an additional bill after we'd returned home. What I did have a BIG issue with was having to pay for some sort of insurance at the desk on collection. The staff member on the desk essentially made out that this additional cost was compulsory and insisted that we should get it. This ended up costing us more than the car hire its self. If this cost is compulsory I feel that it should be included in the cost of the hire at time of booking or there should be some sort of notification that this is what they'd advised. I have never had this sort of additional cost before. "
" Excellent value and very easy to use "
" Very high excess but good service "
" Efficient service and good price. What else do I need? "
" Very high specification car supplied (SEAT Leon), which was clean and well maintained. VERY convenient for the terminal building. "
" We didn't get the car we expected we got a Ford Fiesta (bigger car) which was great for value for money! I had to chase up the booking confirmation email originally as the money had left my bank account but no confirmation email followed- other than that, good service! "
" We arrived 15 mins early and had to wait for the car to be ready but that was fine. We got a bigger car than we anticipated which was great as we didn't have to pay anymore money. "
" Very pleased "
" Friendly helpful staff "
" Very easy to book and excellent value for money. "
" Easy pick-up and drop-off at Belfast airport. Thought the £515 refundable deposit was slightly excessive. "
" Excellent service, liked being able to see rental Company name prior to booking. "
" No problem with the car. However, I suggest 'Class' is clarified as they provided a basic, Ford KA (mini) when I had paid for an Economy (i.e. Corsa or equivalent). They offered to upgrade for £5/day. I appreciate that it is always difficult to be clear with this as different rental companies have the same/similar cars in different rental classes. "
" very helpful and resent my car voucher as there was an error on it straight away, great price compared to the hire car sites. "
" i was informed that there was a couple of marks on the vehicle, but i was not happy about the cleanliness of the car as it was dirty inside, this was a bit annoying. "
" Always good value for money. "
" A bonus that I can collect Nectar points! "
" First class service, cheaper than going direct to the car hire companies. Will use again. "
" Good class of car "
" Great service from start to finish ! "
" GREAT RATES BUT AT WHAT COST TO THE HIRER? SEE COMMENTS BELOW RELATING TO THE HERTZ CAR THAT I WAS GIVE "
" THE CAR WAS OLDER THAN USUAL FOR HERTZ HIRE CARS WITH SIGNIFICANTLY OVER 30K MILES ON THE CLOCK. THE REAR TYRES WERE AT OR BELOW THE LEGAL TREAD DEPTH AND THE CAR HAD HEAVY VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT ESPECIALLY UNDER BRAKING. THE HERTZ REP WHO RECEIVED THE CAR ON MY RETURN TO BELFAST AIRPORT CLEARLY KNEW THE CONDITION OF THE TYRES AS HE TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT THEY WERE JUST WITHIN THE LEGAL LIMIT WITHOUT EVEN INSPECTING THEM. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT DEALT WITH ME WHEN I COLLECTED THE CAR WAS PARTICULARLY UNPLEASANT ESPECIALLY WHEN I ADVISED HER THAT I WAS A MEMBER OF THE HERTZ PRESIDENTS CIRCLE TO WHICH I WAS ADVISED THAT IT DID NOT COUNT FOR BENEFITS. IT WOULD SEEM THAT A-E ARE GETTING GOOD RATES BY BEING GIVEN POOR QUALITY CARS "
" Very good service. "
" Quick and efficient "
" Very easy to book any car and happy with service "
" Very good service and good assistance "
" Extremely good value "
" Very helpful "
" Very helpful, called me to warn re. lack of child seats at my selected rental agent and helped change to one who did have child seats. Exceeded my expectations. "
" Also very helpful: I misbooked for a car from Belfast International when our flights were into/out of Belfast City. Gave me a car (small premium for a bigger car than ordered) within 5 minutes, helpful, friendly and efficient throughout. A complete pleasure to deal with! "
" The whole rental process was easy and without complications.Thank you. "
" The staff on the desk were very friendly, helpful & professional. All in all a very good start to our visit. Thank you. "
" I got a much better offer here than dealing directly on company car hire websites. I hate hiring cars but everything ran smoothly. I was satisfied with the car hired and the ease of booking it through Auto Europe. "
" I was offered a free upgrade at the airport desk which turned out to be the model I usually drive. This was very welcome and the service at the desk was friendly and courteous. "
" no great service as always "
" car great, though reception guy at Belfast, was very very pushy, trying to get me to upgrade to bigger car and very pushy over insurance, when i said no for fourth time, his attitude changed and couldn't wait to get rid of me asap. Apart from that very happy with Hertz "
" No problems whatever, very straightforward, an acceptable price with excess insurance, quite a saving on in airport price. "
" Hertz upgraded me to a good spec 5 door diesel Fiesta. Quick and easy pick up and drop off "
" No problems with Auto Europe. Good price! "
" No problem with staff or car, however whewn we collected the car at 9pm there was nobody to show us the car and its workings. Where the light switches or heating buttons were etc. When we mentioned this on our return we were told that hanbooks got stolen. I understand this but how about an abridged version with the basics? No problem with the car! "
" I was really impressed by the service and the hospitality of the agent. It was a seamless transaction, no fuss and very simple. It was very reasonable price and the car was full of fuel on receipt, just had to return with the same. I was very satisfied with the service overall. I would recommend to all my friends and family. Regards Raymond Britton London "
" They were just great, very pleasant, helpful and hassle free "
" No problems with bookings "
" The car that we had, had diesel spilt in the boot which we didn't discover until we reached our destination. We had traveled for a christening and couldn't wear our coats even though it was pouring with rain as the smell of diesel was so overpowering. It really put a damper on the weekend which was supposed to be a special family occasion "
" We were quite happy with the car, however we felt the extra charge for the excess waiver was far too high. "
" Not having booked with Auto Europe before I was initially unsure but the whole process turned out to be ok and at the Europcar desk they dealt with my rental just like any other. "
" The rental was smooth in general. There was only one noteworthy thing: I ordered a manual and they only had automatics available, but said I could wait 30min if I wanted a manual. I just took the automatic. "
" great service. great car. thank you very much "
" Very easy and no hassle "
