Staff at Dublin Airport and at car…
Staff at Dublin Airport and at car pickup(both SIXT) were extremely helpful
The cost was great value for money and a real nice spacious car
The information said pick up would be at Dublin Airport which was false as it was a shuttle ride from airport and I think this should be made very clear as both I and my passenger are elderly

PEACE OF MIND
Good web site, easy to get sorted and get policy. The policy gives you peace of mind when renting a car. Also a lot cheaper than getting a policy at the rental desk.

Absolutely terrible company
Absolutely terrible company - forced us to take out their 300 EURO non refundable insurance policy once arriving at the airport, as well as another 200 EURO deposit that we ‘may’ get back or not… disgusting company. DO NOT USE.

Very good customer service and not over pushy
Very good customer service and not overly pushing to get their own access insurance - as already had purchased mine otherwise it would have been 5.

Great backstop for dodgy rental companies
We had to make a claim after being scammed by a supposed international car hire company who gave us the thumbs up after we dropped off the car and next day sent a big damage bill by email. The process was easy and quick so we have no hesitation in renewing our cover even though we rarely hire a car.
