DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. I got the insurance and roadside assistance and when I called them during office hours when my car died on the tip of the Ring, they would not answer nor would Dublin, and the 800 number said they could do nothing. One recording said to call "AA" and gave a number. When I called that they put me in a recording loop and no one would answer. So far, they will not refund this charge. We were stuck for 3 hours and were saved my a local but missed a big part of our agenda. Furthermore, I received a Garda speeding citation that was sent though this group and the agency charged me $50US to forward the citation. They also did not warn me about any car monitor or automated speed checks for going 113km in a 100km/h. Essentially going 70mph in a 60mph zone. They could do way better and be way more helpful to their customers. read more

Easy reservation. Liam was great to work with and charmingly accommodating. Check them out for a good daily rate.

We rented a car through rentalcars.com which I fault a great deal wtih the experience since I corresponded with them and confirmed the $162 was "it" and all I needed for a compact for the week out of Killarney. When we arrived I was completely dismayed at the Budget Rental Car "agent" who demanded $375 euro's for up front gas deposit and car insurance. Insurance was to be included at rentalcars.com Not budgeting for $375 added euro's (over $500 American) I nearly cancelled then suddenly the agent comes up with a "lessor" burden and we get the demand down to $250 euro's of which about $120 was a deposit on gas. He didn't charge us for the nav system, wanted to charge us for dual drivers so I signed up for just one. We did get a great car, not a fiat like I expected but a hatchback with lots of room. The tires were scary worn however - not good. I'm glad I didn't have to change one. I would never use rentalcars.com again and I'd likely not use Budget either and still feel like there were games played by them. read more

We had a brilliant amount of luck even getting the car; when we reserved one online, everything seemed peachy keen, yet when we were about four hours out we phoned and they said there might not be any available. We arrived on the train and walked up just to see a car being returned; great, we have a car! What's this "reservation" system for, then, if we have to be this lucky getting a car? The car itself was a bit dented, but mostly clean. It ran fine, and got us where we needed to go. It had a spare that worked, since... We also had the misfortune of popping a tire on the backroads of Ireland; sure, I signed the little waiver that said I was liable for tire damage no matter what. But then they charged us $250 to fix the flat tire. I phoned up a few nearby garages, who all quoted about $15 for a patch, or $70 for a new tire. Only after a scathing email describing all the possible ways they could have fixed the tire and a threat of disputing the charge through our credit card, did they finally reverse most of the charges and only charge us $90. When we returned the car we noticed another couple complaining about the fact that they had reserved a car and it wasn't actually reserved. In short, use Enterprise; they had brand new cars and a very efficient and safe reservation system. read more
