The short version

Based on about 104 usable Google reviews (196 of 300 were excluded, almost all short name-only thank-you reviews), the picture is mixed to poor. Recurring problems are cars not matching the booking or bookings cancelled at short notice, a deposit of about €2,900 with extra insurance charges, slow deposit refunds, shuttle waits and some reports of poor car condition; positives are friendly staff, low base prices and some clean cars or upgrades. Recent web evidence is limited and mostly undated, but it points in the same direction.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

Many recent reviews report the booked car category was not available (smaller or different car supplied) or the booking was cancelled at very short notice, with five last-minute cancellations clustered in mid-to-late July 2026 and no alternative offered.ie.trustpilot.com
A deposit of roughly €2,900 is widely reported, and travellers without a physical credit card or without the desk's own cover say they had to pay an extra roughly €120-€294 for insurance at the counter; the site states a cover excess of €2,900-€3,500.trustpilot.com ie.easirent.com
Several recent reviews report slow deposit releases (several weeks), charges taken from the deposit or card after return (for example a mirror assembly and admin fees), or a €10 admin fee added on top of motorway tolls.
A handful of recent reviews report receiving cars with worn tyres, a non-working light or warning lights and being told the issue was the driver's responsibility; these are customer accounts and not independently verified.
The desk is off-airport and several reviews report long shuttle waits (up to an hour), a limited shuttle service and being asked to pay or arrange extra transport for non-drivers.trustpilot.com

Green flags (4)

Around a dozen kept reviews describe friendly, helpful staff and a smooth process, including help at short notice and with replacement cars, although other reviews report rude staff.
About ten kept reviews describe clean, well-kept cars, and several report free upgrades to a larger or hybrid car.

Before you go

Tick these off at the counter. (Nothing is saved; it's just for you.)

Take photos and a short video of the car at pickup, including wheels, windscreen and the fuel gauge.
Check the fuel level matches the contract before you drive off.
Decline duplicate insurance at the desk if you already have excess cover. Bring proof of your policy.
Bring a credit card in the main driver’s name with at least €3,500 available for the deposit.
Allow extra time for the shuttle ride and the wait (ride time not confirmed yet).
Check the closing time (Daily 06:00–22:00). If your flight lands late, call the desk: some wait, others close on time.
Same-to-same fuel: photograph the gauge at pickup and at return.
