Great trip to Ireland, rental car pricing in Ireland is astonishingly expensive

To not get the Europcars extended insurence as I feel it was way pricey then it should have been

The vehicle was great and fit 6 comfortably. The trips with our luggage was cramped. Most importantly, Europcar staff were helpful, courteous, and gave us no troubles. We brought our insurance documents, which was accepted without question. They were efficient and friendly; I would definitely use this car hire again!

I used the QEEQ app and the process was easy and seamless

When I arrived in Dublin they hit me with the insurance charge. Asked if I had a letter from my credit card company about insurance. Of course I do not. Another customer was being asked the same question. That is a scam!

The agent at check in told me she was upgrading my vehicle free of charge. This was not even an option to decline as she handed me the keys and told me she went ahead an upgraded me to a BMW for free. We later found out that we were charged over 300 Euro for the upgrade which the company then refused to refund. Re read your contract before signing anything! Lesson learned!

Car was good, pickup process was smooth and fast at pick up desk, attendant in car park was efficient and friendly for both pickup and return. I like that they allow for normal "wear and tear". However better signage is needed when returning cars to the actual terminal as it's very easy to drive by the return parking lot entrance.
