Sep 2019
Cons:
The personal service from Sean on our pick up to James on our drop off was easy and efficient.9.2 Wonderful
Aug 2019
Pros:
The staff were wonderful and very helpful.Cons:
We had difficulting finding the drop off location when we wanted to return the car. Once we made it to the return location we were told the directions were located in the love compartment. We wish someone had emphasized this when we were picking up the car.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was sooooo nice and friendly! They made the process smooth and easy and answered all my questions.2.0 Poor
Aug 2018
Cons:
Manager told me I needed to have a letter proving insurance coverage or buy insurance. I was covered but was still forced to buy coverage.6.0 Okay
Sep 2017
Cons:
Sorry car too small for me and getting stung with extra insurance, over twice as much as the car rental.9.2 Wonderful
Mar 2017
Pros:
I didn't get insurance.. broke a mirror and they added insurance after the fact. Changed a near 3000 euro bill into a $250 euro deductible plus daily insurance fees.Cons:
Gasoline is so expensive due to liters.. not on website.. not close to advertised price7 locations in Dublin

Pros:

They tried to blame me for damage that was on the car when I picked it up. Good thing I always take pictures!7.6 Good
Jul 2019
Pros:
We were able to pick car off at location in Dublin and return it to the Dublin airport.Cons:
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 car6.0 Okay
Sep 2018
Cons:
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.4.4 Mediocre
Jul 2018
Pros:
The car was grey.Cons:
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.6.8 Okay
Jun 2018
Pros:
Agent at airport was very helpful.Cons:
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.4 locations in Dublin

Oct 2019
Cons:
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.7.6 Good
Aug 2019
Pros:
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.2.0 Poor
Aug 2019
Pros:
Did not disclose mandatory insurance that had to be purchased making the final rate $775 Euro. Much higher that what was quoted.Cons:

Got a charge for refusing their insurance, I was not happy about that.10.0 Wonderful
Jun 2019
Cons:
The only thing that would be better is to have a map available in the car that shows more detail. The one we received wasn’t useful. Our cell phones drop service overseas so getting to our hotel and a phone sales location was difficult. Really not their responsibility, but nice nevertheless.2.0 Poor
Mar 2019
Pros:
NothingCons:
Was told my total at booking was $120. After all the required ad ons and fees at pick up I paid over $500. Absolutely absurd and when I need a car for a week there’s nothing that can be done about it. Will never book with budget or Payless or this site again.5 locations in Dublin

Pros:
It was a quick drop-off, just like I'm used to in the US. Everything was in order, and there were no hassles. The shuttle came within about 5 minutes.5.6 Fair
Jul 2018
Pros:
Very friendly and personable, and after an hour wait, for service, the care they delivered was great.Cons:
I had verified that I have full collision damage insurance with my credit card and had the policy, but they wouldn't give me a car without a letter or call from the card company. This proved impossible to do on the spot so I had to take the $15 Euro a day for redundant insurance.2.0 Poor
Apr 2018
Cons:
Didn’t even take the car. Got to the counter and was told that the actual price was 950 euro as basic insurance was not included in the kayak quote- which I was quoted at 145 euro. Ridiculous misadvertising on kayaks part.3 locations in Dublin

Nov 2019
Pros:
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.Cons:
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.4.8 Mediocre

Oct 2019
Pros:

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.9.2 Wonderful
Sep 2019
Pros:
Staff when doing the paperwork to pick-up the car more helpful & friendly. Staff at the actual car pickup lot less helpful & one a bit dismissive when you asked questions. Staff when dropping off the car a bit unfriendly & seemed a bit irritable.Cons:
If you are going to Ireland, do your homework about what your personal auto insurance will cover (call them & let them know where you are going) & also call your credit card company to see if they have primary or secondary insurance when renting the car because many credit card companies don't there4 locations in Dublin

Pros:
Staff were very helpful at Avis but the insurance fees were outrageous and tripled the cost of the rental. That being said, I cannot commend them enough for how they handled our return of the car early due to COVID-19Cons:
Quote insurance in advance and do a better job describing luggage space. We did not have enough space for 4 large pieces of luggage in this car2.4 Poor
Aug 2019
Pros:
Extremely rude staff, particularly the woman working at the counter in Terminal 2 and the shuttle bus driver. Additional charges applied at time of collection which were not transparent during booking process. Car provided was much smaller than that advertised for the category. Slow pick-up/drop-offCons:
Everything, would never rent from them again9.2 Wonderful
Jul 2019
Pros:
Good vehicle, easy drop off.Cons:
Expensive extras, ie insurance + additional driver. Took way too long to collect the vehicle in the first place - 45 minutes.4.0 Mediocre
May 2019
Pros:
The outside of the car was dirty, the transmission would easily slip into reverse (no down press, or button to engage). They were going to charge me for a dent in the hood, fortunately my wife had taken a picture of it when we picked up the car.4.0 Mediocre
Oct 2018
Pros:
the second car was very good. they helped us at the airport which was a better location. However, the agent that helped us was less than helpful. it needed to be clearer that if you didn't take their insurance they were going to put 7500 euros on your credit card. he was unwilling to provide options. In comparison we dealt with another company in glascow and they provided good alternatives with reasonable costs. A much better experience.Cons:
The first car they gave us was old and not in good working order. we returned it and got a much better, newer car that worked well.9.2 Wonderful
Sep 2018
Pros:
Mark was the BEST!! We were sold an insurance policy from a 3rd party that ended up being invalid in Ireland...we never would have known without Mark! He brought it to our attention, helped us confirm this fact with the 3rd party, and helped facilitate our refund with them. He then helped us get a a valid policy, and even upgraded our car to help ease our pain of the day ;) Would recommend!Cons:
Dirty bathrooms with no toilet paper in men's OR women's bathrooms.3 locations in Dublin

Ordered a minivan in advance. When arrived they had none. Forced into a 900eu upgrade to the largest vehicle, a BMW X5 which barely fit 4 adults, one child seat and our luggage. We were cramped for 2 weeks of driving. Tried unsuccessfully to swap cars for a minivan in Belfast.8.8 Very good

Dec 2019
Pros:
The car we eventually got kept working and did not break down - that is the only nice thing I can say.Cons:
The fact we were left standing outside at night for over and hour waiting on the shuttle service, that we were given a smaller car than that booked, that there were loads of extra charges we could do nothing about was appalling! No sprinkler in the car so could not wash windows! Problems dropping off car - no one at the return location. Lost so much time was late for my flight. Like others, what appeared to be a good deal was really not one. I will never use this company again!2.0 Poor
Jun 2018
Pros:
nothingCons:
Can't find shuttle pick-up easily and it's far away. Shuttle is cramped. Poor customer service provided by the booking staff. Poorly defined conditions of sale -- not easily known that if not picking up car within 2 hours then sale is forfeited and no negotiation to change this. Flight delay lead to the rental agreement being voided and no other cars available. Very rude. Hearing other poeple that were returning cars, definitely recommend getting extra insurance coverage because they were changed a lot for a scratch that may have been there -- they don't do 'walk arounds' on the cars so you can't prove if damage has already been done. Would NOT recommend to anyone.2.0 Poor
May 2018
Pros:
Nothing really. The rental car pickup is not really "at" the airport. Dierctions to where their shuttle picks you up are non-existent. They tried to get us to rent a GPS, they brought out 3, none worked properly. Didn't take the GPS off the bill. The car was not advertised properly. Too small, sure it could "hold" six people, but forget luggage. Will never rent from them again.9 locations in Dublin
