Totally misleading, quoted $125 for the car then pushed us to take a bigger car and wouldn’t accept the insurance we already had. Total got to almost $1,000 after they added their insurance. Cancelled and went with Budget. Got a very nice car with insurance for $600. Stay far away!Reviewed 2024 Mar 25

The full insurance was expensive, but they still charged me for dammage to the side of one tire.Reviewed 2023 Nov 04

The wait time at Dublin Airport is ridiculous. The staff push you to upgrade services, like adding unnecessary additional insurance, and to pay more for a car with an automatic. They also said they had photographed the damage on the car, but had not photographed all damage, I insisted they photograph the car completely.Reviewed 2023 Oct 02

Mid size cars (Skoda Fabia not Astra)Pros:I rent an Astra with ar conditioning. Thrifity gave me a Skoda Fabia without AC. At the desk rental the attendant has confirmed that the car size for this rental is Fabia and there was no AC. The car got a flat tyre during the trip.Cons:Car type is not Astra as advertised, is a Skoda Fabia, very short on accessories.Reviewed 2017 Mar 25

Pros:The drop off was very efficientCons:It took quite a few minutes at pick up; not sure if they weren't expecting as many customers at that time or just didn't have enough staff. Took about 30 mins to get our car.Reviewed 2016 Sep 28
