DUBLIN CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Only slight criticism is the process of getting on the bus to car pick-up. It’s a bit of a lottery because there is no queue system. Other than that, everything was very positive, especially the lady from Dooleys who booked us in as Enterprise desk had a queue.

Our car was ready for us when we landed, and I did not have any issues with the car while we had it. Car was quite damaged upon pickup, and vehicle revved very high when turning it on. It was hard getting answers about my rental, as it shows I rented with dollar, but when I had to call they had no record of my rental. Eventually I got in touch with someone who told me my rental was with Hertz, where they were able to find my rental agreement. Then upon confirming the pickup was told my rental was actually with Thrifty. In total I needed to make 5 phone calls in order to find out the answer to my question and where I was picking up my car. Having to drop my car off at a different location and be shuttled over to the airport was a bit of a hassle as well, as two elderly gentlemen were with me who had trouble moving around. I had booked this company because I was told it was in the airport. I understand space restrictments, however it would have been nice to be informed of this beforehand.

Never again, this is the worst rental car experience ever, I suggest removing them from your platform as I thought you were the same company. Shocking service, all the scam extras they charge, the delays in pick up, told I had to bring it back full of fuel when it only had a quarter tank when I collected. Rude staff who didn't care.

Lo staff che abbiamo trovato al nostro arrivo a Dublino, sia alla consegna documenti, che alla consegna auto, è stato molto disponibile e paziente, nonostante la giovane età. Forse proprio questo ultimo particolare ha reso meno difficile interagire con loro, dato il nostro scarso livello di inglese, in quanto la dimestichezza dimostrata nell'uso delle nuove tecnologie di traduzione istantanea ci ha permesso di capire e farci capire con pochi problemi e chiarire alcuni dubbi. L'auto che ci è stata proposta non era quella richiesta, ma una simile.

The car (Skoda Octavia) twice signalled drop intyre pressure in left rear wheel. Both times a false alarm - but disconcerting.

Over 69 mins providing proof of address and payslip without prior warning. Person before mr had same problem. Ridiculous and should be compensated

SCAM!!!! That's all I can say. After arriving to pick up my car the staff decided I'm a resident and demanded some insane documents to rent a car. "Well, sir if you read the fine print..." I DIDN'T GET IT IN THE END!!! Had to pay walk-in prices at a proper place, or lose all the money invested in the trip. Fine, keep the money, hope karma gets you!!

Robbed on hidden charges and surprise charges. Over €200 for 2 days hire.. never again

It took 90 mins from calling office for pick up to arriving at office for car .. then they didnt have correct vehicle , they tried to palm me off with little Peugeot, I'm 6ft 3 ! so then they offered another car , it was scratched and dented all around , front bumper was unsecure as it had a bump previously, I opened the car up and it was filthy , hadn't been cleaned, previous hirer documents , empty coffee cups , sweet wrappers , smelling of cigarettes.. anyway I had to take it as i was late for my meeting at this stage .. I drove a few miles down the road and realised there were 2 yellow warning lights on , and I couldn't check what they were for as there was no vehicle user manual and to top it off the whole media system was in spanish .. also there was insufficient fuel in vehicles..you couldn't make it up .. I sometimes get Hertz and I always get a new or new ish vehicle sparkling clean and fresh .. I have pics to back up all the above ..

Ended up having to fork out an additional £92 when we had only paid £52 for the rental as wouldn't accept the credit card as a deposit, although more than happy to accept the same card for more money!! Tried lying about a clearly rusty scratch which was on the car ehen we picked it up. Luckily we had taken photos before we drove away with it. My cousin also picked up a car at the same time as us and had nothing but problems. They also attempted to accuse her of causing damage which was already there. Absolute cowboys. Wish I had read reviews before I booked

Good service, no forced insurance sales

A l'arrivée sur place, on apprend tout ce qui n'était pas compris dans la réservation, à des prix exorbitants, le prix final payé est 6 fois supérieur au prix attendu. Ford focus réservée, Renault captur reçu, option plein - plein choisie, la voiture reçue n'avait pas le plein. Personnel aimable tant que l'on a pas encore payé. Une fois la carte retirée, antipathique. Personnel menteur par ailleurs (nous annonce un prix pour un plein "moins cher" car réalisé sur leur propre pompe à 66€! Le plein ne nous a en réalité dans une station normale coûté que 50€......)

I waited 40 mins for the bus at the airport to find out that it was going to go to the hotel first and wait 30 min. That is not acceptable. And they dont tell you this when they tell you where to go for the pickup.

Never ever again ... over two hours for the pick up process ... ridiculous

The pick up was horrendous. When I phoned I was told to go to area 16 (no problem) only to be told to wait 35 minutes for pick up & if I didn't like it is could get a taxi as pick up is a free complimentary service, then I was taken to hilton hotel 1st before drop off.Girl who dealt with my booking was excellent. When I dropped car back I was told to wait at tree outside, again 30/35 mins for pick up. After 30 mins I went back inside to complain. The staff member behind the counter was not interested when I said I was missing my flight. A senior member of staff told him to get any car and drop me back to airport. I was only in dublin for a day and lost too much time with your service so I cannot rebook with you based on this customer service.

Counter staff were friendly and helpful, but I was not made aware of the a weakness in the model (Honda Jazz) - yellow tyre pressure light coming on, which was a worry, as I had no handbook. The car drove beautifully throughout. Maps (as well as the aforementioned handbook) might have been provided. The 2000 Euros (security) asked for at check-in was a shock. I am still awaiting the refund (I was told to wait at least fifteen days). I left my sunglasses in the car, and e-mailed to ask whether I could get them sent to me (with me paying the postage) a week ago , but no reply so far.

Great upgrade deals available

The car was fantastic. The process at the desk not that good.

The pick up process from Airport to Car location took nearly 1 hour, very poor, as long as my flight.When eventually picked up taken to Hiton Hotel 1st, 15 minute diversion and then back towards airport for car pick up so annoying that Car Pick up near Airport where you start from.When completing paper work for car hire staff advise that additional insurance is required which is 3 times costs of car hire, so not a bargain.Car provided had several dents and passenger door handle broken, looks like repairs are not carried out even though customers have paid for insurnces

Very good experience, but pricey. Especially the insurance.

Can't make changes to existing reservation. They suggest cancelling and starting over. That's not convenient for me. Need to be more flexible.
