It’s was an absolute disaster, I was quoted €59. I knew it was going to be more when I got fully insured but not (€444)then had to get a car seat for €45 which was flirty.

Couldn't ask for better service! Very friendly, helpful staff and a lovely car!
The process was very easy and they were the best price
Pick up and drop off were hassle free. Staff were helpful and friendly. Car was solid and price was very good - after a number of years of Covid related ridiculous high prices across all companies. Very happy with this hire.
We rented our car in Galway. Pickup was easy and quick, car was waiting there for us fully tanked and clean. Returning it was even faster, there was an employer waiting for us, who checked the car and took care of it afterwards.
I've been renting with Budget at Dublin airport for years and they are by far the best value, with the best range of cars and occasionally offer free upgrades. The fuel policy is fair and they do not try the hard sell with extra insurance.
Fast service.
Staff were extremely helpful
The whole experience from start to finish was excellent! Very efficient! Definitely my car hire company of choice next time.
All I can say is that the staff were helpful and professional. I would recommend and I will be returning.
Collected a vehicle at Cork Airport where the computer stated no damage, while the staff member that handed over keys said there is always damage and I should video the vehicle which I duly did, as there were a lot of minor scratches, dents and a missing hubcap. Upon dropping off at Dublin Airport the drop off staff somehow honed in on a tiny chip on the windscreen (ignoring all of the other damage). This didn’t show up clearly on my video and the staff member took a lot of delight emphasising that this was often the case. Then I was charged the full €2000 on my credit card. Don’t be fooled like me!
Quick pick up and drop off with very pleasant counter staff. Uncertain of payment on card - clear explanation and response from customer service provided and charge was as previously agreed, booked through rentalcars.com who were far less helpful.
Very efficient issue system at desk, car ready & waiting, properly clean & prepared. Rapid return system.
Excellent service and competitive
Everything was good and the only thing I can say is that we have waiting just a little too long to get the car ( 60 minuts ) The rest has been perfect!!!
Simple, efficient, friendly service *****
Savage. I'll definetely come back when I need to hire a car!
Macchina quasi nuova e pulita. Personale gentile e disponibile. Buona assistenza clienti pre e post noleggio. L'unica pecca è stata che inizialmente non mi avevano ridato tutto il deposito per la benzina dicendo che non avevo restituito il serbatoio pieno (cosa falsa). Dopo aver inviato una prova fotografica, però mi hanno restituito tutto l'importo. Consiglio di fare sempre foto e video alla macchina, all'indicatore del carburante e al numero di chilometri, prima e dopo il noleggio, onde evitare false contestazioni.
Fantastic value for money & brilliant customer service…
The whole process of booking the car finding the office and getting the keys was really easy. The lady who dealt with us was so friendly professional and helpful explaining how to find the car and how to return it. Also she didn't "scare"care us in buying their extra insurance ( as we had previously purchased this when booking through a 3rd party with our flights ) we have come across when hiring cars from other companies on the past. I would definitely recommend Budget as it's a name one is familiar with and will use them again.
