Book Thrifty car rentals in Dublin

Cons: Slow, unorganized car drop off procedure.

A huge mess

Pros: Well, we had a car.

Cons: hertz/Dollar/Thrifty are all together in Ireland. We rented through Thrify and had a massive wait. The Hertz line went far more quickly. It was extremely disorganized. The person helping us couldn't find the key to our car. There was such a backlog of people trying to get cars that it seemed that the employees were hoarding keys. Our insurance didn't cover the car in Ireland, and our credit card didn't either. The cost of full insurance was more than that of the rental. The car was a mess. One of the rims was held on by a tie, and an attachment came off. There were a million scrapes on the car. We were too tired getting off the plane to inspect the car, so the joke every time the light hit the car differently and showed new damage was "at least we have full insurance."

Pros: easy pickup and drop off thanks to google maps.

Cons: should have ordered a car with A/C. My bad.

Ridiculously high Insurance

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Bait and switch pricing. $200 extra for an automatic? Horrible experience!

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.

Not the car we hired - didn't feel same spec

Pros: I didn't like the car we were given and not enough buses to shuttle everyone to the car hire depot. Took nearly 2 hours to get our hire car. Good drop off

Cons: As above

Thrifty lies about the price

Cons: The rental price was supposed to be ~45$ without insurance. Since my Credit Card covers insurance there was no need for it. It turns out that Thrifty throws in a ~6$/day "administration" fee if you don't use their insurance. So the choice comes down to: ~20$ for their insurance ~6$ for admin fee for no insurance. The initial rental quote said nothing about this "admin" fee.

Had to cancel because they didn't have the vehicle

Cons: We had to cancel upon our arrival because they didn't have the vehicle we needed and reserved. We had to find another car rental option on the spot which was challenging. We are very disappointed in this entire experience. We will not use Kayak or Thrifty again. The site can't be trusted traveling internationally.
