Top tips for hiring a car at Dublin Airport

  • Renting a car at Dublin Airport (DUB) is a great option if you want to explore the surrounding area or enjoy private transport when driving around Dublin city. Dublin Airport is well-connected to Dublin city centre by road and is located off the M1, which leads straight into Dublin. The M1 also connects to the M50, which links with several major roads heading towards Galway, Limerick, and Dundalk. If you want easy access to these routes with car hire at Dublin Airport, there are a number of rental branches located conveniently near to the M1. Car hire agencies are all situated close to access ways that lead towards the M1 junction. Perfect if you want to hop in your car and get straight on the road.
  • Dublin is one of Ireland’s major cities and is frequented by a high volume of tourists and business travellers. Due to this heavy footfall, shuttle buses and public transport that connects Dublin airport to the city centre are often crowded. Passengers may have to queue for tickets or to find a seat. If you want to avoid crowds and save time while moving through the airport, car hire at Dublin Airport is a great option for you. Driving into the city can also slightly shorten your journey time compared with shuttle buses, which take around 30min. An average drive from Dublin Airport to the city centre is just over 15min.
  • Want to save money on your car hire at Dublin Airport? Many of the car rental branches available offer an economy booking category or budget car hire, so you can enjoy some extra spending money on your trip. For some great economy options, choose companies such as Flizzer, Payless, or Thrifty.
  • When returning your car to Dublin Airport, you will need to drive to the Car Rental Returns area, which is located just off the M1 junction, between Terminal 2 and the Long-Stay Car Park. You will see signs for the Car Rental Returns zone as you approach the roundabout outside the airport, heading north on the M1. All car hire branches have parking spaces inside the Returns area, and these are clearly marked to direct drivers.

No issues with SIXT itself. I see now that Kayak charged me for 13 days of rental when I only booked the car for 12 days. Also, even though I provided information on both drivers, SIXT was only provided the data on the secondary driver which delayed pickup and risked causing me to have additional charges. SIXT staff at Dublin airport were absolutely fantastic and did everything they could to ensure I avoided any additional charges due to Kayak’s errors.

The lady at the counter when we took the car was not in the best of mood to say the least. We were charged €4750 as a security deposit. Not sure everybody has that much room on their credit card. She didn’t even explained why the charge was that high. As we were in a rush, I didn’t bother and thought I would take care of this later. After thinking about it, we didn’t even get any proof paper proof of the transaction.

Car wasn’t as clean as I would have thought they should be for new users The guy who checked us in and the guy who received us after were great! We decided to add a driver after we left and we called Hertz to add a driver and we were told we had to find a nearby Hertz and travel to it. The person on the call told us we could t add someone over a call. When we interrupted our vacation time and walked to a nearby Hertz, the guy said, “You could’ve just did this over the phone.” So, this guy knew his business. I wish people on the phone would be trained correctly because that cost us part of our short three days in Ireland.

I have rented a car and prepaid all taxes and service fees before travelling to Ireland with a fully paid and non refundable reservation number from Kayak. My husband was the driver of this vehicle and presented to the airport for pick up on August 19, 2023. He travels extensively for work and has a credit card that covers Collision Damages Waiver and Theft Protection. He explained this clearly to the agent Michael, who insisted that he would be required and it was MANDATORY (the words exactly used) to purchase these. He upsold him the Supercover insurance and told my husband that this is mandatory. I examined the contract when he returned and told me the nature of this conversation. Having lived and studied in Ireland myself for 5 years, I did my due diligence and inquired from other car rental agencies and examined the legislation within Ireland to determine the validity of these claims. My clear understanding is that Third Party Liability insurance is a legal requirement in the prepaid price of all car rentals in Ireland, protecting from property damage, injury and death. Fire insurance is also included in this prepaid price. If the CDW and TP is declined or that written proof is required and the customer declines this, a credit card authorization of a larger amount can be applied to the rental. These options were not presented and in fact, miscommunicated at the time of rental by your agent Michael. This should be investigated and the insurance reimbursed, or at the very least the supercollision insurance that was in fact, not required.

Pretty terrible. Took forever for their “shuttle” to bring us to their sketchy off-site location. Once there they make you sign a pad as they “explain” the rental contract vs letting you read it, and adding their random fees along the way. When you finally get done you realize the cost is more than 5x what your online booking said it would be, so when you try and refuse the car at that point they say, sorry, you signed a contract (that you havent seen yet) and your only option is to take the car or find a way back to the airport to find other options. Just dont do it.

The insurance situation was absurd. In order to decline their coverage they wanted a 5000 euro deposit and printed paperwork showing you had coverage through some other vendor. The person at the counter acknowledged that our credit card likely provided insurance but was not interested in discussing further. We were just shooed away when we tried to ask questions. This information needs to be clearly explained ahead of time, not on a random cardboard cutout on the desk at time of pickup. Instead you are forced to pay for overpriced third party insurance you don't need.

Staff were very helpful at Avis but the insurance fees were outrageous and tripled the cost of the rental. That being said, I cannot commend them enough for how they handled our return of the car early due to COVID-19

This was the most horrible rental experience I have ever had. The service desk was terrible and the manager was terrible at Dublin airport. We paid over $1000 for a weekly rental and then they said we could not take the car unless we paid an extra $500 in insurance . It was total bait and switch job. They also cancelled my brothers reservation without even letting him know. We went to Sixt rentals and they took care of us and couldn’t have been nicer. I will never ever rent from Avis again. Low class and terrible service.

Despite bringing evidence of insurance coverage from my credit card, they would not honor the rental. I called my US Mastercard and they confirmed I had insurance coverage. They would not accept it and wanted me to pay €60+ a day for coverage. I had rented from both National and Alamo in the prior week for 2 different trips and I had no issues. Avoid Europcar is my advice!

I pay in advance for a full coverage insurance and at the counter for check in they told me that they didn’t accept the insurance I hired and charged me a ridiculous amount for a new insurance. They also charged a different price for the rental. The car was all scratched. Other than that, everything was okay.

Payless cancelled / deleted my reservation without notice. I attempted to contact Payless through website, and they said there wasn’t a reservation. Good thing a companion had made another reservation

The overall rental experience was poor. Renting/reserving through your site was confusing and I was not able or couldn't figure out how to add insurance and a GPS Nav system through your site. Thus, the upcharge at the counter was significantly higher. No one was at the Payless counter in the terminal so a sign referred you to get service at the Avis counter. There was no Payless representation in the actual lot either, so again you're dealing with a person working the Avis counter. That's where I was getting upcharged like crazy when getting into a car, to the tune of around $100/day for the cheapest smallest size car. It does get better, good and bad. The piece of s**t car they put me into had 78K miles, the key fob didn't work and to top it off, there was a tire, not a spare (tire on a rim), but just a tire with a hole in the sidewall, stuffed into the little trunk. The good news, when I went back to the rental center on the lot to point this out so that I wouldn't get charged, a service guy in the lot asked what was going on. I explained and he got very upset that I was receiving poor and dangerous (if I had gotten a flat out on the road) service. He asked what insurance I had selected, when I told him I was paying full but through Avis (approx $60 euro/day), he said he'd get me in a better car. This guy walked in, grabbed another set of keys and sent me on my way. The on-the-side upgrade put me in a Toyota Yaris Hybrid with low miles, like 5K, the car performed just fine. So, in the end I was happy with what I was driving however it my daily rate with insurance was around $100euro/day. I ended up returning it a few days sooner than initially planned. Taking advantage of tourists with upcharges didn't seem exclusive to the car rentals; Ryan Air and some hotels along the way used the same practices. Specific to renting through your site, I was not pleased.

We did have to pay another insurance at the desk, but apart from that no other tricks or extra charges were applied.

Avoid at all costs. Had to wait in line for more than an hour for my rental. Once I was called to the desk, the clerk kept leaving to go talk to disgruntled customers who were still waiting for their keys. Once she came back with the keys for my rental, she suddenly decided to give them to another customer so they’d stop complaining. When she returned she turned to the clerk next to her and said that the customer was a word that I will not repeat on this review. Finally, after another 30 minutes of waiting at the desk, I was given a set of a keys to a manual transmission car even though I paid for an automatic. I went back in and said I was given the wrong car. The clerk then said I was wrong and that I paid for a manual. I pulled up the reservation and showed her I reserved an automatic. She finally conceded and provided me with keys to an automatic that she had to take from another waiting customer. I would have empathy if there was a network issue or car shortage, but one clerk mentioned that this is what it’s like everyday at Payless when I inquired. What Payless completely fails to understand is that people are in Dublin for vacation, or business. - many for the first time. And the last thing they want to do after a plane ride is wait in line for over an hour for a car they reserved. The complete lack of urgency, professionalism, attention to detail, and respect is the first impression many people now have of Dublin and it’s a complete shame because this is a wonderful city. I’ve rented hundreds of cars in my time and I’ve never experienced something this catastrophically inept.

It took way to long to pick up the car (about 45 minutes). We had to wait in a line at the airport, then take a shuttle bus to the rental car lot, then wait in another 15 minute line at the lot, then wait another 10 minutes for our car to be cleaned. Very duplicative and unnecessary. Also, they made us get car insurance even though they had letters from people with the same credit card as us saying that people with that credit card have coverage in Ireland.
