This allows you to go through typical customs you would once in America. However, it's done before boarding in Dublin meaning once you land in the States, it's no different than landing domestically.

Our experience with Aer Lingus from Dublin to Chicago was great…read more Check-in/baggage check was a breeze with minimal wait, friendly service and helpful guidance for our trip and baggage claim upon landing at our final destination, which was Nashville via connection at ORD. They have self service kiosks that allow you to check-in, however we were unable to utilize as we did not have boarding passes yet due to the variety of booking through Amex. We did luggage drop and boarding pass printing at the counter. There was no hassle and it was efficient. Once checked in and bags dropped, we hit the gate and the agents there were helpful in keeping everyone updated. The plane arrived and we boarded on time and with ease. I appreciate the boarding process of back to front, I wish more US airlines would adopt this! It makes the stress of using the overhead bins so much more tolerable. The plane was a wide body in 2-4-2 layout, which is the best variety of aircraft for a lovely 7.5 hour flight. The plane was clean and in good condition, with the exception of one of the toilets being out of order in the back. This created a bit of a line at times. The meal service on the plane was better than expected with a full meal including a main pasta or chicken dish, side salad, bread, dessert and water. This was followed by a baked chicken roll/hot pocket and then ice cream later in the flight. All of this was in between coffee and drink services. The flight attendants were friendly, helpful and efficient. No baggage issues from start to finish. Even after a 7.5 hour flight and a 7 hour layover, our bags made it to our final destination without issue. Overall, experience on Aer Lingus was great. When heading back to Dublin/Ireland in the future, we are excited to utilize Aer Lingus.

Car review After…read morereading the reviews of this location, I have to say they're a little unfair. I've rented from Sixt numerous times in the States, and have always had a positive experience. I went here knowing it would be different than how we conduct rentals in America. The main complaint is the excessive hold they place on your credit card upon check in, and this seems to stem from misunderstandings. The hold/deposit decreases based on how much insurance/excess you select. If you opt for no/low coverage, or want to use your credit card CDW, then yes, they will place a significant hold to secure the car. I opted for the €0 excess, so the deposit was only €100. I don't really blame them for this; if you have never driven in Ireland before, you WILL damage the vehicle. There is simply no room for error, and mistakes will happen. The first time I drove a car there, I ran into bushes, grazed the passenger mirror on a fence, and severely curbed the rims. Luckily, Enterprise didn't charge me for that; however, even in the States, Sixt is known for documenting every minor scratch you put on their cars - especially the locations with the AI camera arches. Anyway, as for the experience, I arrived to the Sixt counter inside terminal 2, and was pleasantly greeted by Adelina. I provided the necessary documents, she confirmed the protection/insurance selections, provided a free upgrade, and gave clear instructions on how to get to the vehicle lot. I took the shuttle over, quickly found the car, and was on my way. I was assigned a Renault Captur, and though it had high mileage, it was clean and in good mechanical condition. I put well over 1,200 KMs on it over six days, and got decent fuel mileage. Overall, you have to consider their point of view - renting to Americans who are accustomed to driving on the right, with roads considerably wider and easier to drive than Ireland's. As a result, they protect their vehicles for inevitable damages. Set your expectations realistically and protect yourself as much as possible, even if the protection is more than the rental; it's worth the peace of mind.

Basic insurance is €200 plus you have to pay a €2000 deposit!! Yeah €2000! If you choose no insurance you have to pay a €5000 deposit!! The middle insurance that only requires a €150 deposit added €600 to the cost! The fact that after you get off a long flight you are hammered with an hour of sales pitches then have to hand over basically all of the discretionary find for an entire vacation is ABOMINABLE! As for the car: total junk. The brakes scratched and squealed the whole time, the key was literally taped together and fell apart the whole trip. It was so frustrating to keep track of the pieces. RUN FROM THIS PLACE!

Things were going great right up until you step up to the counter. Perhaps I was extra sensitive having just gotten off a plane (you know how air travel can get), but I would think any customer facing service staff would be well trained enough to accommodate this. Unfortunately I was met with a bland super passive-aggressive lady at the desk that was snarky about when I would return the rental car since there's different places you have to go to return depending on what time. Unfortunately this doesn't exactly accommodate for the flexibility for if you happen to get back earlier versus later, which when you're trying to catch a flight is probably the last thing you want to have to worry about. Overall though the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, it was just the check in counter that wasn't the best. The car I got was clean and the prices were very reasonable, so overall it was a good value.

I waited a few weeks after my return to write this review as I had, an honestly still have, a…read morepending inquiry about a random charge I received a week after my return. Even with that, I reluctantly gave the second star as my experience from pick up to drop off was without issue! This location is situated away from the airport and requires a shuttle to and from. Shuttle is easy to pick up at both areas and is constantly running. The line inside fills up quickly as every bus load has around 20 folks, all who are after a car, majority automatic cars. If that is the case, be prepared to wait on those busy weekend days, even if you reserved. We reserved an automatic and initially was told they were waiting, however got lucky as someone returned one as we were getting to the counter. Our reservation saved us, so I highly recommend reserving a car. Service at the counter was fine. They were not friendly, nor un-friendly. It was as efficient as it could be and ended with keys in hand. The car was solid. A Skoda model that got great gas mileage and had plenty of interior space. It was nice, even though odd, to be directed to return with the gas tank empty. Due to our limited amount of driving, I returned with half a tank, and weirdly suspect that has something to do with the additional charges. As for the return, all seemed fine. Pulled in, parked, got it looked at, printed receipt in hand and then hopped on the awaiting shuttle. None the wiser to the pending $250 that was coming my way without explanation mere days later. I have since reached out to Hertz twice, but have gotten no response at all. I am now disputing with my AMEX as an unauthorized charge seeing that I have gotten no response or detail as to the reason for the charge. These are always the same horror stories. Completely ruins the overall experience, which for the most part, was wildly successful and positive. Overall, I won't recommend to not rent from Hertz at all, but be mindful and cautious.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a serious incident that occurred today with one…read moreof your drivers. My group had three valid paid tickets for a specific scheduled service, as stated on the ticket terms (valid only for the booked time). We boarded the bus, sat down, and were fully settled when the driver abruptly instructed all three of us to get off the vehicle. At no point did he ask whether we were able to take the next bus. He simply told us to leave. He explained that a pregnant woman--who did not have a ticket--should have priority. While we fully respect and understand support for pregnant passengers, removing paying passengers with valid reservations to make space for someone without a ticket is unacceptable and directly contradicts Aircoach policy. After we were removed, the driver then stated that we could "try the next bus", despite our tickets clearly indicating that they are valid only for the booked time, and even noted that the next service might be full as well. This left us effectively stranded. As a result, we had no option but to take a taxi to the airport. We paid in cash, so we do not have a receipt, but this was an expense we should never have had to incur. This incident caused financial loss, unnecessary stress, and represented a serious failure in customer service and adherence to Aircoach procedure. Passengers with valid tickets should never be removed to accommodate someone without a ticket. I am requesting: 1. A full refund for all three Aircoach tickets 2. Confirmation that this incident will be formally investigated, as the driver's behaviour was improper, unprofessional, and against Aircoach policy 3. Guidance on how to proceed in cases where passengers are removed despite holding valid reservations I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. Kind regards,

Superb and affordable way to go from Dublin airport to the city or suburbs…read more We took the 703 air coach to Dun Laoghaire, where we had booked a B&B. We got to the airport bus terminal 7 mins before it was scheduled to leave, but the ticketing and boarding was so seamless we were seated with 2 minutes to spare! Round trip cost was 17€ per adult and 9€ per kid, whereas a taxi would have cost us over 100€ each way. The seats were comfortable and while the bathroom was not operational, we were fortunately not in dire need of relieving ourselves! The driver was gracious and let us know where to disembark. The hour- long journey to Dun Laoghaire flew by, and the return trip a few days later was equally rewarding and comfortable. Air coach is the way to go!
