CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON AVIS IN DUBLIN

Quick service

The rental location was far from the airport, the car's condition was mediocre and not clean. When we picked up the car, it already had visible damage and lacked floor mats. It seemed like it hadn't been washed as there were dead bugs on the front of the car. We were given a car from the outdoor lot even though there was an indoor parking option; they insisted we go to their headquarters for an outdoor pick-up. It was raining heavily when we picked up the car, so we couldn't thoroughly inspect its condition. Upon return, we noticed a small scratch on the bottom, but we couldn't be sure if it happened during our rental since we didn't remember any incidents. However, we were held responsible and our deposit was fully deducted. They interrogated us for half an hour as if we were criminals, even though we had full insurance coverage.

Yes, originally asked for a Nissan Juke but they didn't have any. I was given a Nissan Quashqui. Nice SUV to drive

Simple booking and competitive.

The staff was very friendly and provided excellent service.

Dislike: The price for week 1 was a little higher than I would have wanted to pay (but, I booked at short notice so I was not surprised). The price for week 2 was good value. I didn't like that I couldn't keep the car over the two weeks rather than having to return the car to close out booking for week 1 and open booking for week 2. However, this didn't spoil my overall experience with Avis which was very good. Lovely helpful staff.

The staff at the counter was rude, strongly recommending insurance to me. When I refused, they questioned if I could drive a manual. I directly told them I had been driving in Australia for a month and had just driven in the UK for over 10 days before coming to Ireland. They shut up after that, but still blocked a deposit of 1550 euros on my credit card.

Exactly the car make and model as booked and very simple collection process.

Easy booking process and everything worked as expected.

The car pick-up was relatively convenient, but the car provided had some issues. Fortunately, we were able to smoothly exchange it later, so it didn't have a major impact.

Lovely service by the check-in staff. The car should have been serviced, as I had several notifications in the car (oil too low, service due). otherwise, a good experience as always.

Extremely dissatisfied. After failing to sell additional insurance, the sales staff demanded a EUR 1500 pre-authorization as a deposit for the car rental, which is utterly ridiculous. After much negotiation, I was finally forced to purchase additional personal accident insurance. Very disappointed with such practices by AVIS.

Service and queue time are okay, but it would be better if someone could accompany us to the car and teach us how to use it.
