Avis Dublin Airport Car Hire in Dublin

Avoid at all cost. Pre-booked our vehicle through the website for a total of PS170. While collecting our vehicle the representative offered us complete coverage for a additional PS20 a day for just under a total of PS200 and told at the same time a PS800 hold would be placed on our card. Upon return we were told our total was nearly PS900, which we refused and did not stay to dispute in order to catch our flight. This IS incredibly predatory, especially for international travelers, to have to deal with hours before a flight.

Having had a couple of less than auspicious experiences with Avis at Stansted and Bristol, I booked another rental from Dublin Airport and it couldn't have been better! Amazing welcome when I went to pick the car up, lovely car and great drop off ... all at an extremely reasonable price! Well done Avis Dublin!

A few weeks ago, we rented a car and were charged a EUR158 deposit. Upon returning the car, we were informed that EUR110 would be refunded, with the remaining amount covering insurance. However, after four weeks and numerous emails with customer service--specifically Rachel Farrell, who was unhelpful--I have yet to receive the refund or an invoice confirming the amount released. Despite following up and contacting my bank as instructed, Rachel stopped responding. I'm extremely disappointed with the service and strongly advise others to consider alternative car rental companies and avoid Avis.

Definitely don't rent from AVIS at this Dublin Airport location, by far the worst rental car experience I've had. We prepaid and reserved our car rental and got our estimate which included amounts for surcharges and taxes, and we made that payment 2 months ahead. When I returned my car they refused to give me any sort of paper receipt and said it would come by email later. When I got it, there were large additional amounts for Location Surcharge, VAT tax, and Other/Miscellaneous charges (one of which is for holding my own insurance.. um what?) and for a second driver, even though the desk agent said he had switched the contract holder name to avoid that. None of these are detailed or explained. This doubled the amount of the prepayment and actual car rental. It felt very dishonest and was really just lying to us up front to get us to take their car, and charged us way more later. You have lost a Preferred Avis customer and I will definitely no longer be renting with them.. they also tell you to email with any comments or issues, but no one ever responds, so don't bother.

Unfortunately, I had much a similar bad experience as another reviewer here. Avis charged me 1300 euros for the scratch in this picture and have provided no itemization, just "MISCELLANEOUS". I would recommend looking at another rental provider even if you normally use Avis in other countries as I do.

Awful experience overall. Check in was fantastic. Car great. There was a small scratch at the front which I took a photo of before I left. Kris checked me in and spotted the scratch. I showed him the picture and he said I'd be alright. I signed the iPad and hurried off. I find he's added PS2,500 to the bill! Presumably for the scratch! I am now wasting trying to get this sorted out. I won't be using AVIS again and I am certainly not paying for a scratch I didn't cause.

Picked up the car at farranfore, drove it home and the following day drove to Dublin and got told I had put scratches on the rear bumper. Well I didn't but I made a mistake in not taking a good close up video of the car all round. They have your credit card details and most people flying into Dublin are flying out so they can't really fight the case and they have you over a barrel. I'm putting up photos so that no one else will be paying for scratches on the back bumper and I advise anyone hiring out a car from here to have a good look round the car and point out every little scratch and get a member of staff and show them before you take the car and get it added to the report

I would highly recommend AVIS Dublin Airport Family. Every time I'am in Ireland (10+ times a year) it was always a very professional and upscale service provided. I'm a corporate customer, renting compact class cars for the most of the time. With AVIS I can always count for a higher class car for the entire rental period. Staff also sees that status long-term AVIS customers are worth to have. During my recent rental I was given an brand new Nissan Qashkay. Car was in mint condition. Clear guidelines about car pickup - car drop-off. AVIS quality :) On the way back to the Dublin Airport I have experience quite unusual weather conditions on M50 :)))
