getting a ride from airport took half an hour, initial phone contact number didn't pick up, 17 callers wait for call to be answered. At drop off in early morning the office was closed, fortunetly one of the hotel workers saw me and another woman and told us where to park and drove us to airport.There should have been a sign at door directing to Hotel.

Took forever for the shuttle to arrive. The people getting off of the shuttle told me good luck getting a car. When we got to the rental car facility, the customers that were already there had been waiting so long to get their cars, I called an Uber instead so I didn’t miss my appointment. Since it was a non refundable rental, I lost my money.

Please make it a obvious disclaimer that you need to have written proof of a third party insurance carrier and in certain countries that comes with a VERY steep deposit. It was so unethical the what they charged and how they made it so you had to pay them an additional $400-500 for their insurance if you could not pay the deposit. They stated it was REQUIRED to have insurance before they would release the vehicle. So in addition to the rental cost I had to pay a 5000 euro deposit (5000 is not a typo) and 95ish euros for gas that would be refunded when and if I returned it full. As I walked away from the counter the agents were laughing. It felt like I was doing a back alley deal instead of dealing with a legitimate and reputable business. Shame on you for putting on such pressure for travelers to your country (Ireland). For that main reason I cannot endorse or recommend this company at the Dublin Airport location. Other then the car sinking of smoke cover with heavy perfumed products the experience was normal. The car handled well, had the latest safety features, and keyless entry. I chose a smaller vehicle for fuel economy and am glad I did. It made travel outside of Dublin much easier. It took a couple of days to adapt to the left side driving. The return location was easy to find and the agent was pleasent and was efficient in looking over the car and once I got the all is good the shuttle bus was right there. A big THANK YOU to the shuttle driver was gracious and patient and help lift the luggage in and out and thoughtful enough to lift it onto the side walk at the terminal. For me the little things count because it shows people care and take their job serious. The customer service line they said is staffed 24/7 just rang and went to a busy signal. The email that was sent to make changes to your reservation was not helpful nor contacting kayak.com email address so I ended up paying for extra days. I did save a considerable amount booking through the site so you decide. I cannot speak to how long my 5095 ish euros "refund" will take since I just returned.

SCAM! They try and trick you with insurance! Yes, they say they accept your credit card as insurance HOWEVER you need to have a personalized policy with your name on it from your card company at the time you pick up your car. If not, you have to add their insurance, which is around double what the original cost is.

CarHire charged 1.5x the rental fee just for insurance. I was unable to use third party insurance despite what the booking inferred, and it is required, which I would always carry regardless; however, it is the fact that the booking was much more expensive than I had originally thought with no proper way to compare pricing since it occurred at pick up.

Expect to pay double what you originally book for - they’ll find a way to deny whatever insurance coverage you have so that you have to buy theirs

Jul 2019

KAYAK

Pros:

We were traveling with 7people and renting 2 cars. We had 6 very large pieces of luggage and 6 small bags. I figured there was no way we would get 2, five passenger vehicles to move all that luggage and 7 people and Alamo/Enterprise gave us there 2 cars with the biggest trunks and it worked perfect.

Cons:

The X insurance is expensive but the piece of mind made it necessary since driving in Ire is chaotic. Also, rented GPS was worthless since it did not recognize places, only addresses and in Ireland, addresses are only a convenience. The cell apps work much better, best pay for cell service in Ire.

Cons:

We arrived 2 hours late, due to air delays to find the Hertz pickup location closed (at 2pm). There was no notification on how to pick up our car. Instead, we had to wait until the next morning at 9am to return to Hertz to find out that they did not have our car.

the representative did not want to take the excess on my credit card and force me to take an insurance . so intead of 60 euros, the rental fees end up reaching 200 euros. the representative said I had to have a letter from my credit card issuer telling they agree to cover the full value of the car , she said the car is worth 30 000. they abuse customers which arrive in a fragile postiion. i have to rent car to visit my daughter in Ireland and such fees are to high for the family budget.

Pros:

The vehicle worked properly

Cons:

We were charged an extra drop fee of 65 Euros even though the original quote included this fee (verified by the US Budget office). When I questioned the local pickup office in Cork, they said to take it up with Kayak. We were also given a smaller vehicle than requested - a Nissan Juke, versus the intermediate Toyota Corolla or similar. We had a hard time fitting 3 people and three bags and it was supposed to fit 5 people with 3 bags. We then inquired about a different car and was told it would cost more.

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.
