Great rental experience. The bay is easy to find and I had no trouble starting the rental. Appreciated that its accesible 24/7. The car VW ID.4 was like new, 100% charged. Cables and card provided so you can charge on the way for free.

UFOdrive works in many ways but the solution with everything depending on the app and no physical key is stressful and not completely reliable due to bad internet connection. It works anyway true Bluetooth but it is annoying at times. We had problems with the app finding the car after charging. Had to delete and reload app. Having that said, the customer service were really good and I spoke to a service guy who was very helpful and service minded.

I've rented twice from UFOdrive and the experience and price has been excellent. Despite a couple of kinks where I had to contact customer service, the rapid (instant) and helpful response meant that everything was still quicker than dealing with a conventional hire desk. Highly recommended.

Excellent service. Originally booked a Model 3 but got an email to inform me it had been damaged a week before my booking and was upgraded to the Model Y long range. Car was in excellent condition, delivered to specified location with 91% battery charge and clean. Walkaround done with UFO Drive employee and existing marks/damage pointed out by employee and photos/videos taken on spot. Very easy handover and return, and a great car to have on test while my own ICE car was in for winter prep work. No issues with range anxiety either, covered 135km during the day and battery dropped from 91% to 76%. Charged back up to 96% in 25 mins at a fast charger (charging card supplied with car). Will definitely rent again in the future!

Sick car but a bit of a hassle - The car was not at full charge when I picked it up, 80%. It was constantly dying and running out of charge. I had to spend 2 evenings and a morning on a two day hire sitting at a garage until 1.30 in the morning. For example last night I went to the garage at 11.30 to charge it and it went from 19% to 41% in 90 minutes or so. Then on the 20km drive back it went back down to 23% I spent more time on the rental charging the car than driving, no superchargers around - used the fastest 11kW chargers available. No long distance either, just local driving from Dublin to Enfield. On the positive side, the rental was hassle free and the car was beyond sick. Perhaps it was my taking advantage of the crazy acceleration

If you are wanting to rent an electric vehicle UFODRIVE should be your go to. I do not especially love dealing with people all that much and if you are like me you won't have too with this company. We picked up and dropped off our car using just their app! Your phone is the key and if you need to alter your mileage is soooooo easy! We will surely be using this company when we travel in Europe or wherever they have locations.

The best rental company I've ever used. No human interaction at all - you come, get into car and drive away. It's that simple. Everything is done through the app. Cars are fabulous too, clean, fully charged and have everything you need.

The booking and registration process was easy and verification took only 50 mins after I emailed customer support. The support is outstanding! It usually takes less than an hour to get a response. They don t only effectively solve your problem but anticipate and complete the next step to make things easy for you. The app works very well and is easy to use! It was my first time driving a Tesla (Model 3) and electric car, I really enjoyed it! I would definitely use the service again and highly recommend!

I have hired three vehicles now from UFODrive - a Tesla S, a Hyundai Kona and a particularly good value UFO-branded Tesla Y. The app makes the hire process easy, although with the Teslas the operation of the car takes a little getting used to, for example opening the glove box through the cars screen interface! I own a Kia Soul EV at home (very similar interface as Hyundai is a sister company to Kia), and so for me the Kona was the easiest to drive, supporting Apple Play so I could use muy usual apps and voice control for messaging and pre-prepared routes for navigation, but the Teslas are not much harder, even without Apple Play, as they connect to phone and media with Bluetooth readily enough. Not having to think about paying for fuel is good value and relaxing, although it could be clearer what problems might arise if your estimate for distance is over-reached and indeed, whether it has been over-reached. Irelands charging network is still not as extensive as I would like (no fast charging in Thurles!) but that will come soon, and nothing a little planning cannot overcome. I can recommend UFODrive without reservation to anyone who is already committed to EV and I expect it would be a great tryout if youre new to it. With that in mind, more and spacious locations than the cramped multistory at St Stephens Green might be a good idea, although it suits me, as I work round the corner at TCD. What about the airport?

We rented a Tesla from St. Stephens Green and drove ALL around Ireland (1650 km total)! If you are from the states, trust me and use THIS COMPANY! I did SO much research on car rentals, and I was so nervous about renting from the airport and all the horror stories with insurance. UFO Drive customer service is crazy amazing (even when my phone went dead and couldnt unlock the car! oops). We had no issue finding charging stations, and it was super easy pick up/return. Get the Tesla, esp if you arent used to driving on opposite side. Trust me, you will appreciate all the cameras on the car!!! Will definitely use this company for future rentals abroad!!

This would be a 5-star review if the set-up for the account and UX experience on the app the day of the start of our reservation was better. The car itself was amazing, and compared to the other major rental car companies we were actually saving a could hundred by going with UFO (literally with a Tesla Model Y vs a VW Up). Because of the price and experience with the car once we had it, I would rent with UFO again. However, I would advise folks to register well in advance with the company. We had to talk to customer service five different times between the verification process and actually accessing the rental at check-in. The agents were kind and helpful each time, but every time I was assured that the problem was fixed and that everything was good to go, I would learn that in fact everything was not good to go. The biggest headache had to be the day of pick-up. UFO advertises the efficiency of being able to use the app to check-in, inspect the car, sign the documents, and drive off smoothly through the app. The app did not recognize that we were next to the car when we first arrived nor the app wouldnt let us communicate with an agent so we had to communicate with an agent through the website. It took 40-45 minutes of standing in the parking garage troubleshooting this before we were able to access the vehicle. Again, I give all the agents we spoke to props for their responsiveness and friendliness throughout all our communications - but the set-up process and the apps UX needs some work before Id recommend UFO whole-heartedly to friends let alone family that may be technologically challenged.

Very good experience. Booked a tesla Y for a day, as a surprise to my 8 year old who is obsessed with Tesla. He was delighted with the experience and I was very happy driving it too. The app is working well, the staff is always there to help with any question, with nearly immediate response. Car was fully charged, super clean and excellent to drive. Well definitely drop over again for another journey!

It has been so much more expensive in 2 months. They used to give 150km per day which as now been reduced to 50km/day. The rental costs and insurance costs have gone significantly as well. All in its atleast 40-50% more expensive since April. Edit to reply: insurance was 24 per day is now 39 per day - that s 10-15% increase alone depending on the car price. Mileage is 20 per 100 km that s again another close to 15-20%. My two cents as a customer who highly recommended UFO drive to everyone is all these increases has made the pricing prohibitive. Good luck UFOdriveteam!

Excellent car rental experience with extremely responsive customer service, all in the app with no human counter needed. Only reasons I give 4 stars instead of 5 is that their 0.20/KM charge is high for longer trips, they took a long time to confirm my rental in the app after I submitted everything, and the instructions in the app could be MUCH better to save me having to text customer service all the time.

The registration process takes 24 hours and the way in which personal information verified is not secure (via email attachments). The biometric function on the iOS app does not work. Bookings, cancellations and refunds are not clear. Read the T&Cs. Booked cars are not necessarily available at advertised locations. Beware.

Really impressive. Tesla Model S cost half the price of a Fiat 500 with Sixt/Hertz/Budget, came with 95% battery and collected/dropped off without issue. Registration took less than an hour (with help from online support agent - thank you, Irina!). Wonderful experience and highly recommend.

An outstanding experience, no humans trying to upsell insurance, tolls and whatever the legacy car rental companies try. Paperless, peopleless and extremely efficient with online support if required. Rented a Tesla for 11 days knowing that everything is included in the price, including charging. This is my new go to car rental company. Sorry Avis, you are not even close to UFODRIVE.
