Most things were fine except the incredibly awful smell of smoke from previous users. They really should clean the cars properly before renting them out again or consider renting stinky cars to smokers.

Agent in Cork was very friendly with lots of info on things in the area. Car was a bit small for 4 adults and luggage but it worked. Only thing I didn’t like was the insurance thing. When I booked Kayak indicated we needed insurance so I bought some from their partner since none of our credit cards cover Ireland car rentals. But at the agency we were told what we bought wasn’t enough and had to buy more from them. Feel like I got ripped off.

The car was filthy when collected. Not enough hire agents at the desk so the cue was huge. The agent spoke in a European foreign accent and his English was very poor. Tried to talk me through insurances and answer my questions but struggled to understand each other, so I gave up asking. Drop off took too long. Nearly missed my check in.

On return - after a short rental I was fully charged the excess for 1 item that there was no way I would have checked when assessing damage the black wall above the wheel was missing - I would never have thought to look there and 100% certain it did not fall off when I was driving. I feel it is a scam and a rip off. Will never rent from them again and will not recommend them to anyone I know.

Your website does not indicate that easirent essentially forces you to get their insurance which was more than double the car rental cost.. 250 euro on top of car. If you don't use it's a 2500ish euro deposit and he said he needs a letter from my bank stating that I'm covered for insurance in ireland. It was the middle of the night where I am from and that was not possible. I was disappointed and paid way more than I thought I would.

Horrible experience, the required insurance added $1000 to the rental. The vehicle was in very poor condition, with dents and scrapes all over it. The check engine light and tire pressure warning lights went off constantly, and the USB port did not function, which was the recommended method for navigation (via phone).
