Unexpectedly hit with a £1500 deposit that was hidden in the small print that you don’t actually get a copy of. The customer before me had an even higher price. Sales reps obviously know this is dropped on people picking up cars as they immediately go from lovely to defensive and aggressive as soon as the customer is like “wait, what?” You can waive it by paying 150% extra to your initial rental….sort that out and they also take another £100 deposit for fuel! Hired a medium car and got a tiny Kia Rio with a driving performance tracker box.

The team at Belfast City Airport really went above and beyond to make sure that our rental was as stress free as possible. Great customer service. Highly recommended.
A couple of hours after returning our vehicle to an unmanned drop off location, we received an email claiming there was damage on the vehicle. We will fully dispute this claim through all legal avenues. It is deeply disappointing that Avis representatives would seek to fraudulently abuse foreign tourists in this way.

Poor|Nov 2021
When I arrived they asked for £1200 Excess cover. This is on top of the £600 I was going to pay for the car. I did not use AVIS in the end
Found the check in confusing due to the reprasentative talking in circles and lying about my insurance and talking me into buying a second insurance. Also the fact that i brought the car back a week early and have not recieved a refund or and email from the customer service that i sent the info to. Will probably pick another car rental service the next time in hopes they will be easier to deal with.

Nice car, price is high but I think that’s Ireland. Insurance is what adds cost.

Hertz has the wrong address for car pickup on the booking confirmation. Address is for the train station, real pickup location is down the road in a weird area.

Poor|Apr 2022
Had vehicle booked for pickup at 10 am , arrived at 11am, and they had given vehicle away, advised they only hold for 30 mins of pickup time, and were very rude and not helpful, then they finally found another vehicle (basically same one) and wanted us to pay an additional 800 british pound sterling on top of rental agreement. So we went to enterprise and received a vehicle from them I would never recommend this Company

When I arrived at Belfast Aldergrove.. Hertz Which I usually book direct ..but made a mistake using KAYAK I spoke to Michael and advised me to ring the company as they had not insured the car …he was very apologetic…but there was nothing he could do ….he gave me a local number to ring …but I couldn’t speak to anyone . I just went outside and got a taxi which cost me £28 to get to my elderly mothers house ….don’t use KAYAK …speak to Hertz directly …they are a fantastic company …but because I used a 3rd party to book with them …there was nothing they could do. I will in future book with Michael direct as I always get 100% …I just made the mistake going cheaper through KAYAK.
