Very kind staff. Fast pick up and Return of the rental-car. The explanation where the shuttle picks up the people could be also send by mail with a map since there are two Stops at Terminal 1/2. We hope the rental-cars will be one day affordable for all people again ..it got really expansive the last years.( esp. during Corona. Thank you so much for Everything.

Nice staff, didn't pressure upsell the insurance like I was worried about. Drop off in the city center was not as easy as expected, due to the lack of parking instructions. Value was outstanding.

Need to provide clear instructions that if you are dropping off at the lower Drumconda location, there are no parking spots in front of the office. You need to pull into a bus lane and park there, which isn't ideal, but workable.

They try to rip you off on extra insurance. Concerned they’ve charged us extra. Have to keep an eye on what they actually charged. They did put a 5000€ hold on the card because we declined their insurance.

In Ireland - at Avis Budget - your American car insurance is not valid. They will not make this clear in any messaging leading up to the rental counter. This is to encourage purchase of their own insurance which is a profit center. Some credit cards cover this insurance but you need a written letter from the card issuer stating this.

Did not enjoy the "bait and switch" when picking up the car of needing extra insurance and then paying another fee for my husband to drive the car when I never intended to drive on the wrong side of the car, on the wrong side of the road. I had to pay to drive the car even though I was never going to simply because I booked the car and paid for it. The AC did not work as well.

When I booked through Kayak for a car at 10 pm collected at airport, it recorded as 9am from the city depot. Sixt would not change it without rebooting the whole thing at twice the price. Kayak just referred me to Sixt. I had to change my inbound flight to arrive a day earlier at a cost of 400 euro rather than pay Sixt 700 euro more to rebook the car.

Insurance is a bit of a rip off and they don’t recognise our travel insurance covers their car. Car was given to us with a low pressure in a tyre, no water in the window washers and a drivers door handle loose.

Before booking you need to make it clear to people, that they can avoid a large excess by paying for insurance and you need to do this in advance. You also need to confirm that your office is not on site and give instructions in advance on how people get to your office. You need to resolve your phone connections because sometimes the number that you are expected to call does not work.

I recommend getting taxi from airport to pick up car as the shuttle they send could take long or is hard to find and spot. The drive there is very short. If you miss your connecting flight and are more than 2 hours from pick up time they will rent your car to someone else. This happened to me I called and let them know but our car was rented out. They were kind enough to find us another car but it was manual not automatic. The car they gave us cost more and had adblue. I never heard of adblue and had no idea how it worked and it was not filled up as it should have been. The car also had scratches and was not clean. The diesel was only a quarter tank. When I drove it the adblue warning lights were going off telling me the car would not start after a certain number of kilometers. This was stressful. These alarms continued for over a week. I called customer service which were easy to reach. They suggested going to a dealer to have the adblue reset (I bought adblue myself and refilled it but it did not help). No dealer would reset my adblue so easirent drove out to me and swapped with a petrol (not diesel) car which was a great car. The rest of my experience was great. It should be noted that the time I rented this car was a time post covid and high inflation started that renting cars was very expensive. For 2 months my bill was $5300. This sounds expensive but compared to other estimates from other rentals ... If any were available were between $8000 and $12000. So I feel kayak gave me a great deal.

We were able to pick car off at location in Dublin and return it to the Dublin airport.

When we booked car we were quoted $132 for the week. When we picked the car up we were told we had to take $500 in insurance. They told us you could deny it, but if you did they would place a hold on credit card for total cost of car

My credit card covered rental insurance fully and Europcar asked for an email from my bank/credit card company before giving me the car. I had to call my credit card provider and have them send an email to Europcar. Pretty damn ridiculous. All told, I wasted three hours getting all this sorted, and even after I finally got them what they needed, they put a EURO 5,000 authorization charge on my account, an obscene amount for a one-week rental. Also: There's a 25 EURO airport surcharge that I was never made aware of, and a 35 EURO charge to travel into Northern Ireland, which I also wasn't made aware of until the time of payment. I recommend you book elsewhere, because a Google search tells me that not all car rental companies charge for traveling into Northern Ireland.

The car was grey.

Upon arrival in Dublin we were shuttled to an outside airport location. The quoted vehicle was not available, altho we had reserved it several months ahead. In fact they said Dublin NEVER carries that model (a 9 passenger van). So we were given a smaller (7 pax) vehicle which was way too small for our 6 adults to enjoy for a week. The quoted price was 1/4 of what they ended up charging. We had insurance but they would not accept it and required we pay the Europcar offered policy. We have rented in many other countries without all the insurance demands. We would never have booked with them if the initial quote had been correct as other vendors had just what we wanted. Europcar is a real RIPOFF.

Agent at airport was very helpful.

Insurance charges should be stated more clearly when booking. Insurance was nearly three times the price of the car. Car smelled like someone had been smoking in it.

I used my credit card’s insurance guarantee, but nowhere in the reservation did it say that to do do ALSO required a letter from my credit card company stating (1) that they cover the Republic of Ireland, (2) they will cover the lace loss if totaled, and (3) the last 4 numbers of my cc account. So at the Europcar desk I had to make that phone call, wade through a few phone trees, then talk to a couple of humans. I did get the letter (great service by my cc bank!) but I was lucky - that approval process may take up to 24 hours. The Europcar desk agent said this happens “quite a bit” with the brokers because you don’t provide the information about what each rental car company requires to use the cc insurance waiver benefits. I suggest adding a link to your process that will take your to the specific rental car company page for their CDW. I did use the link provided for my rental but it did not say I would have to get the letter etc.

The lines were really long with people complaining and not moving. The Payless personnel were in the same space as Budget and Avis and it was hard to tell the difference in who was working what. Eventually all personnel worked on the same long Payless line. Then the price of our car quadrupled.
