Very good value and friendly pick up and drop off service from Budget. My only recommendation would be to improve the voucher download. Mine kept appearing in Russian for a pick up in Ireland! It made the irish laugh though!

The car we got was excellent with all the features that were needed. It was a great size for the two of us and carried all our luggage.The car was exceptional either on tight roads or motorway.I couldn’t speak more highly of the car we got(was so comfortable to drive(and having an automatic was definitely a bonus( for the country driving on tight roads or city and town driving).The car we got was relatively new, so had all the features.We loved our hire car experience in Ireland.would recommend to anybody.Tim and joy from Perth, Australia.

Fantastic service, the chap at thrifty waited an hour after closing due to our flight being delayed. He single handedly saved our trip!

Car operatives at airport very friendly, we even changed the car after seeing the proposed model (Jogger) to a more driveable model (Audi A3) and they were very accommodating.

I was surprised when I cancelled the first time I only attracted a credit and not a refund. I rebooked to extinguish the credit

reception staff were pushing extra insurance purchase very hard. Car had a very strong smell of coffee and there were food crumbs in the back.
