Poor service, bald illegal tyres on vehicle and no drop off details

Dublin airport car rental. Google. Easy. Arrive in Dublin. Call Easyrentcars. Stand in pickup location for 25 mins. Get on bus for 40 mins to car rental site residing 800 yards away. Reason: it’s a Hilton hotel shuttle. Route: drive 5 miles away from airport in rush hour traffic, drop people at Hilton, turn around and drive 5 miles through rush hour traffic back to airport and drop off poor car rental customers at Easirentcars. Wait for 30 mins to speak with front desk. Provide €2600 ‘deposit for damage’. Watch staff look perplexed that I wanted the car on the booking. Informed that a 7 seaters isn’t on site. Sit down and contemplate some inappropriate actions. 20 minutes later car arrives. Wait further 10 minutes as paperwork not ready. Woman on reception laughs saying it’s not always like this. Contemplate more bad things. Drive car away and drink heavily. After journey is completed. Angry. Unlikely to use them again even if I had to drive my family away from an apocalyptic event.

The counter stuff was nota clear with the insurance. The car was ok.

Long wait for pickup/ rude unapologetic staff- I was told 5 minutes but was waiting over 45 minutes for the pickup, rang office 4 times. Was spoken to rudely and abruptly by 3 team members, they constantly said just 5 minutes away but I waited 45 mins and they were unapologetic about being so late. Took a further 1/2 hour or more to get to the office and get on the road. Hiring cars without road tax - When checking out, a guy beside me was complaining - he was waiting a month for a refund- due to returning his hire as it had no tax. No road tax? with a hire company? I did not think to check my tax disc? I gave the benefit of the doubt and thought this must be a one off surely? however over Easter I was pulled in by gardai and my vehicle had no up to date road tax on it. The company was unapologetic upon return of the car. I only got away with a fine/confiscation because the garda was local and took my work that it was a hire and he let me go. Poor customer service - They are so unapologetic and unhelpful and I doubt their integrity. The only small redemption is the girl Lauren who did eventually come to my assistance and was the only polite/genuine/helpful person in my whole experience with Easirent.

Need to advise customers at check in the time it may take from drop off the airport terminal. There seems to be only one van so fir us it was about a 25 min wait, which is a long time if you are in a rush. You could walk to the terminal in less time.

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!!!!
