Car smelt overpowering from sanitiser. Was not informed of need to get code from DVLA using my National Insurance Number> Time consuming

Our flight was delayed and the girl stayed late to allow us to collect the car which we thanked her for and appreciated. However, she spent a lot of time then trying to sell us insurance we didn't require and attempted to use scare mongering techniques. When we dropped the car off on the last day, shortly after the opening time, she was unable to provide any advice or help with getting to the airport. The airport shuttle didn't show up and she had no idea about it nor any taxi numbers or advice. The website stated there was an airport shuttle and she knew nothing about the company nor times and didn't know how to contact them. She was very unhelpful and off-hand We found taxi numbers online however there was no availability to pick us up. When we asked to speak to the manager and said we would have to complain, she told one of the employees to take us to the airport as he was going in the direction of the airport as he was leaving.

It took 90 mins from calling office for pick up to arriving at office for car .. then they didnt have correct vehicle , they tried to palm me off with little Peugeot, I'm 6ft 3 ! so then they offered another car , it was scratched and dented all around , front bumper was unsecure as it had a bump previously, I opened the car up and it was filthy , hadn't been cleaned, previous hirer documents , empty coffee cups , sweet wrappers , smelling of cigarettes.. anyway I had to take it as i was late for my meeting at this stage .. I drove a few miles down the road and realised there were 2 yellow warning lights on , and I couldn't check what they were for as there was no vehicle user manual and to top it off the whole media system was in spanish .. also there was insufficient fuel in vehicles..you couldn't make it up .. I sometimes get Hertz and I always get a new or new ish vehicle sparkling clean and fresh .. I have pics to back up all the above ..

Car was a VW Touran that fit 7 people without luggage. The car had 87,000 kms on it with scratches & multiple dents all over it with a fog light out. It was due for an oil change. The windshield had cracks in it. The pick up experience was awful. We were basically told the online policy to cover the excess damage was worthless. Tyres & glass was not covered, nor was roof damage. They tried to rent us a truck that held 5 with more luggage room. The whole pick up experience was an intimidation & bullying process, which seems to be the norm in Ireland. The same woman who rented the car to us, refused to make eye contact with us upon are return.

I write reviews quite a lot and I am very alert to customer service. This is my first rental with easyrentcars. From my airport transit to my car pick up the van driver Derek was very polite and courteous and provided guidance on drop off detail with ease. I collected my car from Andre from Brazil who made the whole process very straight forward and once again in a polite and relaxed manner. Overall the rental was stress free. The vehicle was very modern and clean and drove amazing. The drop off was also seamless and the staff there were polite and talkative. Over fantastic keep up the good work and hopefully I can find a nice price for my next visit in March.
