Value for money!

Our flight was delayed and the girl stayed late to allow us to collect the car which we thanked her for and appreciated. However, she spent a lot of time then trying to sell us insurance we didn't require and attempted to use scare mongering techniques. When we dropped the car off on the last day, shortly after the opening time, she was unable to provide any advice or help with getting to the airport. The airport shuttle didn't show up and she had no idea about it nor any taxi numbers or advice. The website stated there was an airport shuttle and she knew nothing about the company nor times and didn't know how to contact them. She was very unhelpful and off-hand We found taxi numbers online however there was no availability to pick us up. When we asked to speak to the manager and said we would have to complain, she told one of the employees to take us to the airport as he was going in the direction of the airport as he was leaving.

Samantha was extremely unprofessional, she swore on numerous occasions and tried to rush the damage paper work, being very lax about it. On return, I had to argue my case for 60 mins that I did not damage the vehicle and again Samantha handled the situation terribly. She refused to look at the vehicle and claimed she did not remember, even though she came up to me before this and tried to pick up our conversation from the last day. Terrible experience and very vindictive.

Counter staff were friendly and helpful, but I was not made aware of the a weakness in the model (Honda Jazz) - yellow tyre pressure light coming on, which was a worry, as I had no handbook. The car drove beautifully throughout. Maps (as well as the aforementioned handbook) might have been provided. The 2000 Euros (security) asked for at check-in was a shock. I am still awaiting the refund (I was told to wait at least fifteen days). I left my sunglasses in the car, and e-mailed to ask whether I could get them sent to me (with me paying the postage) a week ago , but no reply so far.

Everyone was very friendly.

Nothing could have been better! The staff were all superb! In my heading, I stress "Ireland" as Easirent staff in the UK are, in my experience, a bunch of crooks! At Gatwick, after a 10 hour flight, I paid a "deposit" for a car I had already paid in full to rent, only to subsequently find they had charged me for an "Upgrade" to a Diesel car - which I didn't want or need - at more than the cost of the initial rental! At Heathrow, they refused to give me a car I had booked and paid for because I did not have any utility bills dated in the last 3 months proving I lived at my address in the UK? I had been away for 4 months, I pay my bills by direct debit so do not get paper bills and have my bank statements sent electronically so how on Earth could I comply with the VERY small print of their contract? I offered them my passport to HOLD against the rental, £20 000 to be blocked on my credit card as a deposit or for them to run a credit check on me. They refused - but kept my money anyway and ignored attempts to contact them afterwards! I got a taxi to Green Motion down the road and they gladly gave me a car without needing any supporting documents! Easirent Ireland MUST be a different company as the service there is fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation! Just avoid Easirent in the UK!!!!
