Used Hertz through "Journey Through Ireland" for an all inclusive quote including CDW (but not SCDW). Turned out good, fair price, great car and no surprises on our credit card statement when we got home this time! rvflyer
Granted cheap hawaii hotel that it was in 2003, but we had a horrible experience with Hertz Shannon. No car anything similar to what we had booked, so they very cavalierly stuffed five jetlagged cheap hawaii hotel zaftig women and all their luggage into a Land Rover and sent us on our way. Fortunately Hertz in Killarney went beyond the call of duty and found us our Ford Torneo. After complaints to headquarters, we received a $100 certificate to use next time we booked with Hertz. Hah!
Whichever you choose, get the all-inclusive insurance. Yeah, it can be pricey, cheap hawaii hotel but Irish roads are skinny, curvy (My Irish friend explained it -- They made Irish roads for horses originally -- and horses hate straight lines!)and dangerous. I had a Bundoran hotel wall run out in front of me (or so it seemed) and dented the car pretty badly. With the all-inclusive insurance -- no problem. It is better to be thankful that you spend 10 or 20 euros a day on insurance and not need it than wonder why you didn't -- with 2000 euros on your credit card! Enjoy that great country!
Like you, we have discounts with Hertz and Avis. We used Hertz in Dublin in 2009 for a rental car and last month we used Hertz in Shannon for our rental car. No problems, no surprises with Hertz on either rental.
cheap hawaii hotel All I can add is that we have used Dan Dooley with great success in Ireland for 2 trips(Sept.2010 May 2011) and we will use them again. Very professional and hassle free both times. Call their East Coast, USA office.
All good tips, thanks! I see the CDW (never heard of the SCDW), Personal Accident Insurance and Theft as options...I cheap hawaii hotel was going to just check them all. We're with USAA and yes, have a WORLD credit card. Do I search Fodors to find a thread on insurance?
But the best thing to do is just call 1-800-MCASSIST and they will go through all of the provisions for you and email you a copy of the agreement to show to the car rental cheap hawaii hotel people when you pick up the car (although Hertz has never asked to see it.)
We were recently in Ireland and were rear ended entering a gas station in Dublin. Fortunately no one was hurt, but Hertz took no action to put a claim in with the other driver's insurance company, or advise us the damages and cost of repair and just charged us 1600 euro for damages. When we picked up the car in Shannon I refused additional insurance coverage knowing that my Visa would cover damages. Unfortunately, my refusal of additional coverage did not include CDW as that was "included" in the car rental rate! Be careful, take it all or take none!
