Cheap Car Rentals in Clonshaugh - Darndale, Dublin from ฿809

Fabulous

The hidden fees were a little surprising. Thought I booked a car for the price on Kayak, turns out I’d end up paying almost 3x that much when I went to pick it up

Car was good but insurance was outrageous. 30 for car and 48 for insurance! Then they billed my CC in $ instead of euro without asking so I lost another 3% to their bank. SUCKS

Generally good, friendly staff and efficient. Only real issue was that we couldn't use our CDW waiver with credit card coverage since: a) it required a very large authorization on the card (€5000, I think) which was rejected for security reasons, and b) there's a fee to do this! Never seen this issue before but I think it's avoidable via the aggregators. Car itself was good. Had more nicks and scratches at pickup than average but that's not a problem for us. Overall a good experience, just a bit pricy for a one day rental once all the added fees are taken into account.

Car collection not in the airport - long wait to get to a knackered car that’s was not to reserved specification

Excellent customer service

This was the most horrible rental experience I have ever had. The service desk was terrible and the manager was terrible at Dublin airport. We paid over $1000 for a weekly rental and then they said we could not take the car unless we paid an extra $500 in insurance . It was total bait and switch job. They also cancelled my brothers reservation without even letting him know. We went to Sixt rentals and they took care of us and couldn’t have been nicer. I will never ever rent from Avis again. Low class and terrible service.

Was vey disappointed in this entire experience really. Extremely confusing checkin and cad pickup process, car ended up costing about $500 more than originally expected, and they didn’t have the car we booked months in advance. If I would’ve listened to other reviews, I would’ve just paid more upfront (ended up paying it anyway), and went with My Irish Cousin for rental.

Kayak site sold us insurance which was not valid in Ireland

Too few staff, for one. Only 4 cars on the lot for 6 customers. Waited 90 minutes to check in only to find it would be another 3 hours to wait for a car.

Insurance is a bit of a rip off and they don’t recognise our travel insurance covers their car. Car was given to us with a low pressure in a tyre, no water in the window washers and a drivers door handle loose.

Heads up on European insurance

Convenient pick-up and drop-off at Dublin Airport. No problems with payment, and the people at the service counter were extremely helpful. I recommend the service.
