Long story short, I’ve been screwed over twice by this company. Once I paid in full, but wasn’t able to get my money back because I paid in full. I had an emergency surgery that prevented me from traveling. I wasn’t able to get my money back even with a surgeons note. The previous experience, I reserved two SUV’s to accommodate my family. Only one was available. We had to wait over 24 hours to get a vehicle that would accommodate us. If you pay in full, there’s no way of getting your money back should you need to cancel. If you reserve a car, you may have the size car you requested. I wouldn’t recommend this company without travel insurance.

Long wait time to be seen, not necessarily the staff's fault but had a 10am pick-up, arrived at 9:45am, waited in line until close to 10:30am until seen due to customers in front having numerous questions.

The car was great. I think that you should highlight that insurance will be extra and required, so that we know the true cost beforehand. In addition, the gentleman checking us in did not tell us that adding an extra driver would be extra even when he knew that we didn't really plan on using the extra driver. Finally, the return location at the Cork airport could be labeled better.

I switched to an automatic about hale way through the rental period, That change was facilitated in great time. I did not appreciate the up front charge of 5K which I could not cover so I was made to pay $500 out of pocket instead. Ridiculous policy.

Second rental apr 14-24 First rental apr 13-14 Note: due to are Aer Lingus technical issue I had to extend front end of rental. Your folks could NOT combine the two contracts( same car both times) , so returning first car and picking up second caused me much inconvenience and cost. Calls to youre offices pre rental went unanswered. Both contracts were done on your websites / other with youre authorized third party. No solutions were offered when your representatives were appraised of the situation E Pieterse

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

Customer service was excellent. Pick-up and Drop-off was very easy. Car was clean and good condition. I went to a wrong terminal without reading the instructions. Read instructions carefully and just be mindful which terminal the car is located and go to the right terminal. Then all will be well. Very easy. West wishes

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.

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.

Avoid at all costs. Had to wait in line for more than an hour for my rental. Once I was called to the desk, the clerk kept leaving to go talk to disgruntled customers who were still waiting for their keys. Once she came back with the keys for my rental, she suddenly decided to give them to another customer so they’d stop complaining. When she returned she turned to the clerk next to her and said that the customer was a word that I will not repeat on this review. Finally, after another 30 minutes of waiting at the desk, I was given a set of a keys to a manual transmission car even though I paid for an automatic. I went back in and said I was given the wrong car. The clerk then said I was wrong and that I paid for a manual. I pulled up the reservation and showed her I reserved an automatic. She finally conceded and provided me with keys to an automatic that she had to take from another waiting customer. I would have empathy if there was a network issue or car shortage, but one clerk mentioned that this is what it’s like everyday at Payless when I inquired. What Payless completely fails to understand is that people are in Dublin for vacation, or business. - many for the first time. And the last thing they want to do after a plane ride is wait in line for over an hour for a car they reserved. The complete lack of urgency, professionalism, attention to detail, and respect is the first impression many people now have of Dublin and it’s a complete shame because this is a wonderful city. I’ve rented hundreds of cars in my time and I’ve never experienced something this catastrophically inept.
