It was a brand new car so it was great. Heard a lot of horror stories about renting in Ireland so went with Alamo because of the good reviews. Not a single problem or issue and the staff were fantastic. Will most definitely use them again on future trips!

Upselling of insurance at the rental counter did take place but we rejected it. Others not in our group at the desk at the same time had a similar experience. Seems like common practice.

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.

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.

Considering the high volume of customers they were dealing with on both my pick up and return, they really couldn't have been quicker or more efficient. And they were quite friendly as well!!

They rented us a car without working headlights. We discovered the problem on our second evening (of five day/nights) and had to drive back on tiny Irish roads with almost no lighting. It was terrifying. When I called the next morning, they told me to go get them fixed and that I would be reimbursed. We were in a tiny village on holiday so we just decided to forgo that experience. We didn't drive at night again but that was quite inconvenient. I would like to get a partial reimbursement since I do not consider this a fair or reasonable rental situation.

The staff at the store were warm and welcoming. The car was very new and in excellent condition, equipped with features like a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, and seats that offer both heating and massage functions. On Ireland's narrow country roads, it's unavoidable to occasionally brush against roadside tree branches. The rental company explicitly stated during pickup that such minor scrapes are not considered damage. During the rental period, the left side mirror had a minor collision. I initially planned to claim insurance for it, but the staff member didn't count it as damage.
