Be aware of high deposit.
I rent cars with Budget in the UK and Spain on a regular basis. I have my own yearly car hire insurance for that reason. The holding deposit in Ireland is extraordinary high at €2700. In the UK it’s €200, Spain €500. If you have your own insurance, make sure you have enough on your CC to cover the deposit otherwise you will have to take out their insurance at €24 a day, be aware that they also take the fuel of €148, make sure you bring it back full otherwise you’ll loose that. To fill the car it costs €80. Not sure how the deposit is so high but hopefully I will get an answer when I post on trust pilot. Another issue, don’t try call the office, you won’t get an answer, I tried 10 times and no answer +353 1844 51 50. Send any queries by email. They will come back within a short period. Other than that, the staff are helpful and they were quick, spacious office.
