CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON BUDGET AT DUBLIN AIRPORT, DUB

The car was in poor condition

The Audi A4 diesel they provided was powerful, but the luggage space was slightly small.

Car advertised was toyota corolla or similar. The car I was given was a Opel Crossland. Fuel was not filled to the max. Windscreen wipers needed replacing. Tyre Pressure warning light came on after 1 day driving. No reverse camera. Unable to use a debit card to to secure insurance excess, had to pay for full insurance for complete duration. Only 1 staff member at desk on arrival, took a very long time to process pick-up.

Booking was smooth however car advertised is not what is given

The whole pick up and drop off process is fast and smooth.

I love the Price Drop Guarantee feature!

I was happy with this vehicle hire - it all went well.

Nothing much to note. The whole process worked as planned, which is the main thing.

This company shares an office with AVIS. The car pickup and return procedures are quite simple. Overall, felt pretty good.

Je trouve inadmissible que nous ayons dû payer 450 € d’assurance en plus alors que nous avions déjà payé 2400 pour la location !

They push high-priced insurance, and if you don't buy it, they freeze a 2000 Euro deposit. Be cautious if your credit limit is low. However, the deposit is refunded quickly; if you return the car during the day, they refund it immediately.

Great company

First option ever

nice car, pretty straight forward pick up and drop off

Really helpful with helping with a flight delay

Pretty good.

Good

Overall it was good, except for the half-hour wait to pick up the car. The return process was quite fast.

Overall good experience, except for the half-hour queue during pickup; the return was pretty quick.

The pick-up point is not at the airport, you need to take a shuttle bus which comes every 15 minutes. If you miss it, you'll have to wait in the cold for a long time, especially during winter. I recommend not renting at this spot if you're in Dublin. Moreover, the car provided was poorly equipped! It was an older Suzuki without cruise control, had a poor sound system, and the gear shift felt mediocre.

Car was great. Little car so easy driving in Ireland. We didn't get the VW Up, but a Nissan Micra. Can feel a little under powered, but expected from the small car. Boot fitted all our luggage and car was clean (though didn't have floor mats, which we found odd. Just had to be careful of mud and dirt as it can be quite wet in Ireland). At airport, it was very easy to locate Budget counter and easy to take shuttle to pick up the car. Staff was a bit pushy in selling extra insurance even though we bought off Easyrentcars, but this seems standard across all car hires we've been to. Pick up was easy after the usual paperwork and drop off even easier and quicker.

There were many people picking up cars, I waited in line for an hour and then another 20 minutes for the car to be prepared. The car given was smaller than the one I booked, with only space for one 24-inch suitcase. I didn’t want to waste time arguing as I had an appointment. Overall, the car was in good condition and the Bluetooth connected quickly.

The car we rented exceeded our expectations. We drove 1900 km over mountains, through pretty scary roads to see some of the most beautiful sights! Our little Picanto never let us down once. Kind of sad when we dropped her back off we had her for 11 wonderful days.

Booking did get a little confusing and expensive. We ended up paying for extra coverage but in the end it did give us piece of mind. The counter staff were very patient with us and helpful.

The car only had a quarter tank of fuel despite there being a full tank policy and Budget retained a fuel deposit. However, upon notifying Budget, they assured me that there would be no charges to my account.

Car was new but clutch was not good making it tricky to drive. I drive all over the world and this was the worst I've experienced
