You are what you say you are

Very easy booking system with clear information. Pick up and drop off were easy. We had a very new car which was above our expectations. An agent was waiting for us at pick up and drop off and dealt with us speedily. Do make sure you have enough credit availability for the guarantee for the excess, if you don't take the extra insurance. we were 100% satisfied.

Very Satisfactory

Booking a car was easy, the rate competitive and the email reminder and link to the rental voucher near the hire date was very useful. I will definitely use the site again.

Right car, right place, right time

I was offered the type of car I wanted in the location I wanted, and at short notice. Other Web sites were coming up with a blank. Price was reasonable and customer service very good.

Car hire Dublin

There was a real made by the Enterprise Staff to make this a positive experience for me. I was meted and greeted so well that I am going to test it again shortly for sustainability. It was all good, They were not busy but were intent on chatting and being pleasant. I was impressed that I was shown how to manage the car , operating of lights etc, Its not been common in my experience, I hire cars about six times a year and have had bad issues.

Good service and easier accessed. Only thing that was...

Good service and easier accessed. Only thing that was not mentioned at time of booking were the additional extras that needed to be paid for at he time of collection.

Trip To CORK

I thought that the price offered was very reasonable however, there was no information on the site to let me know that the rental company, Thrifty would ask me pay €90 more than the agreed price for insurance, this was explained as was explained to me at the desk was due to the fact that I made the booking with a laser card. I then had to register my credit card so as not to incur this non refundable charge. I would suggest that you make people aware of this on the site, even if it is a industry standard as it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Overall though the staff were very courtious and changed my car on request. I would recommend this site to others as it seemed to give the best price on the day of travel.

My car hire experience

I was very pleased with 121 car hire. On arrival at Dublin airport we were collected promptly by minibus and taken to the office. Details were exchanged quickly and we were given a brand new toyota yaris. We had no problems with the car and staff were polite and helpful. I would definetly use this company again and would recommend.

good customer service

The website was easy to use and the price was fair. The company who gave us the car at the airport was Budget. All the paperwork said that the tank was full but when I got to the car it was only half full. Fortunately I checked this and had to go back into the airport terminal to tell them and change my paperwork so I wasn't charged for half a tank on my return. I also did not have a credit card on me to leave a deposit for the indurance and they didn't accept credit cards for this purpose so I had no option but to pay extra for the insurance. I also feel that the price for hiring a childs car seat being twice that of the car hire is bordering on extortion. We ended up bringing our own on the flight as it worked out much cheaper.

Value for money

Collection and drop off great. Car was quite high mileage, but I guess you get what you pay for. Not particularly happy about the 10 euro charge for cleaning, after all I'm not going to try find a car wash at 4am in a country I'm not familiar with. Friendly staff.

Best Car Hire

Got upgraded to really great car with good price offer. Surprised to find car had sat nav, reversing camera and parking sensors together with cruise control. Diesel fuel just made the experience a joyful one. Service was excellent with friendly staff.

Very good service

We were dealt with quickly and respectfully both on pick up and return of the vehicle. Downside is the 30 min wait for the shuttle bus if you just miss one.

Galway Airport is located around seven kilometers north of Galway City and is one of the best ways to get to the west of Ireland. Indeed, Galway City is seen as somewhat of a hub for exploration of this beautiful part of the country. The city itself is short on attractions but does have certain vibrancy to it. However, it's best not to linger too long, in order to make the most of the surrounding areas with cheap car hire in Galway Airport.

Most flights to Galway Airport are operated by Aer Arran. They offer departures from Dublin and Waterford, as well as a range of airports across the UK. Public transport options from the airport are extremely limited, so the majority of travelers take advantage of car hire in Galway Airport on arrival.

Car rental in Galway Airport is provided by Avis, Budget and Hertz. All three firms can be found on the left-hand side when entering the terminal. Budget is open seven days a week, from 12:00 to 23:00. However, passengers arriving outside those times will find someone will be waiting to meet them if they have already booked a vehicle.

For a small airport, Galway Airport has a decent range of facilities. Free wireless internet is available in all parts of the terminal building. Travelers should ask about access at the information desk. Alternatively, there are also internet kiosks for those without their own computer. There is a charge for this service.

Travelers should save plenty of time for visiting the stunning countryside in the west of Ireland. Connemara, with its green mountains and rolling clouds, is regarded as one of the most beautiful places on the planet. The Connemara National Park is around 86kms from Galway Airport.

Is Car-Rentals.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
