I have rented a car and prepaid all taxes and service fees before travelling to Ireland with a fully paid and non refundable reservation number from Kayak. My husband was the driver of this vehicle and presented to the airport for pick up on August 19, 2023. He travels extensively for work and has a credit card that covers Collision Damages Waiver and Theft Protection. He explained this clearly to the agent Michael, who insisted that he would be required and it was MANDATORY (the words exactly used) to purchase these. He upsold him the Supercover insurance and told my husband that this is mandatory. I examined the contract when he returned and told me the nature of this conversation. Having lived and studied in Ireland myself for 5 years, I did my due diligence and inquired from other car rental agencies and examined the legislation within Ireland to determine the validity of these claims. My clear understanding is that Third Party Liability insurance is a legal requirement in the prepaid price of all car rentals in Ireland, protecting from property damage, injury and death. Fire insurance is also included in this prepaid price. If the CDW and TP is declined or that written proof is required and the customer declines this, a credit card authorization of a larger amount can be applied to the rental. These options were not presented and in fact, miscommunicated at the time of rental by your agent Michael. This should be investigated and the insurance reimbursed, or at the very least the supercollision insurance that was in fact, not required.

Car was technically "similar" to what we reserved (5 person + luggage) but actually much smaller with tiny little back windows so rear passengers couldnt see much. Also, crazy stupid requirements to waive insurance were not stated ahead of time.

All good everyone was terrific thank You Rich 2023
The car was good, the staff efficient. My big problem was that there was no insurance within the reservation and at the rental desk I had to pay 400 euros more (for just the car to insure, not the passengers, and for a higher price than usual). It was a very bad surprise as during the reservation online it was not clearly said that the reservation was without the insurance. I insure my personal car for less than 200 euros per year, how can an insurance for 6 days costs 400 euros with a 2000 euros franchise? I advice everybody to double check the insurance condition during the reservation!

I booked on your site for a 77 year old man and when we arrived, they refused to rent us a car. Luckily I myself had my driving license even though I didn't want to drive in Ireland. they also insisted we had to take their insurance as we couldn't opt out even though we were insured through our visa card.... Amazingly inefficient service on your part and not much better at Budget!

Very easy to collection and drop off. Would have liked to be able to drop off at the airport rather than use the shuttle as we had two small children with us.

Staff was really professional and friendly. I did pay 120 EUR for 2 days rental, basic insurance only and had to leave 2000 EUR deposit for Skoda Fabia that was so basic, it did not have Bluetooth to play music. Comparing that to rentals I had in other countries or even in Ireland few years back price is extremely high.

Very kind staff. Fast pick up and Return of the rental-car. The explanation where the shuttle picks up the people could be also send by mail with a map since there are two Stops at Terminal 1/2. We hope the rental-cars will be one day affordable for all people again ..it got really expansive the last years.( esp. during Corona. Thank you so much for Everything.
Their pick-up and drop-off locations were almost impossible to find. They run a paperless system which, if you're not travelling with a smart-phone, is very unsettling.

Best value that we could find for renting a vehicle in Ireland. We ended up arriving 12hrs late but they still had a car waiting for us. No fuss declining the CDW with a confirmation of coverage letter from our credit card company (other firms we rented with in the past have tried to scare us into using their insurance). They did initially give us a vehicle that had the 'check engine' light on all the time, so we turned around shortly after leaving the rental compound and brought it back. Told us at first just to ignore it, but then agreed to swap it for an identical vehicle (Fiat Panda). Drove it for five weeks and no problems when dropping it off and shuttle to/from the airport was available promptly.

The rental was fine. My only negative was the car insurance they surprise on you at pick up. It was almost the price of the entire rental and we did not expect that at all. Much too big of a surprise and should be available to book online to avoid the last minute, very large fee!

Pick up from the airport took ages and getting a vehicle once we got to the depot also took a long time. We booked a small car and I got a 7 seat van which was fine for me but had one mirror held on with tape.

I know car rental companies make most of their profit from selling insurance but easirent’s insurance more than doubled the cost of the rental. Seemed excessive. Also the pick up was slow. Other than that the car and staff were fine.
The pick up at the airport was good, no issues. On the drop off the attendant "claimed" that the back passenger door was dented during our rental. However, we looked at photos taken when we picked up the car and the dent was already there. On pickup there was no prior damage report supplied. If we hadn't taken the full comprehensive insurance package, I am sure we would have been on the hook for the damage. I find this disturbing and felt accused of the damage when in fact I wasn't. Fortunately, no out of pocket expense for us but still concerning nonetheless. Otherwise, the car was perfect and everything else was good.

They did not inform me in advance I needed specific documentation to avoid making the insurance mandatory so I was forced to increase my rental cost by 120.

Very poor communication and I think we got scammed. They charged us $61 per day for insurance and said it was mandatory. Everyone else we talked to paid anywhere from $17-$30 per day for insurance. When we asked if there was any cheaper insurance option they said this was the only one and absolutely required otherwise we could not take the car and we had already paid for it in full. There was no information anywhere before or during of insurance requirements or costs.

They did not accept a letter from my credit card company for CDL insurance because it did not say Ireland on the letter. The letter said I was covered "Worldwide" but they would not accept it, therefore, I had to pay an extra €350 for the rental car. What an absolute scam!!!

This location was an embarrassment to rental car facilities. It took over 1.5 hours (with small children) to pickup the vehicle. The staff was adamant about selling their insurance coverage, which I did not need since my VISA card covers rental car insurance (fully). In advance of picking-up the vehicle, I followed all instructions and had letters issued from my credit card company and the insurer. The counter staff refused to accept the paperwork, since it said that the full insurance was valid WORLDWIDE. They literally indicated that it had to say 'Ireland', and that worldwide wasn't acceptable (!?). It took me 60mins on hold with my insurer (long distance, roaming) to get the letter updated. The insurer (a worldwide, large insurance company) indicated they had never heard of this requirement before. The counter staff was intent on charging me over 800eur for insurance, which is extortionate and ridiculous. Avoid this location at all costs - definitely something wrong with management/ownership (this is not a corporate Europcar facility, but rather a franchise location).

I had a great experience at Europcar Dublin. They served me very quickly, all of them were knowledgeable, friendly and willing to help me with any request and query that I had. The car was clean and we'll maintained. Really happy with the rent.
I was not informed that drop off was at airport. My drop off time was 10:00 and I was informed to bring back rental to rental park instead of airport.
