Hi fellow travelers,
I stumbled across Easy Tour Ireland car rentals when perusing the Tripadvisor forums. Everyone (who reviewed it) seems to have had a decent experience. Unfortunately, it's only been a handful of reviews. I'm wondering if anyone on this board has had any experiences with the company, good or bad? I love that it includes ALL coverages, for a good price. It seems a little too good to be true, but then, there are real people out there reviewing it, so who knows?
Thanks,
Julie
I have never heard of them, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I would caution you, though, that you can't assume that the reviews that exist are from "real people". If it seems too good to be true, it often is.
My wife and I used Easy Tour Ireland in September 2013. We had the car for ten days of our two week honeymoon trip. The easy tour site is simply a booking agent for Hertz. Once you go through the easy tour site it redirects you to Hertz and apples a discount code. You book directly with Hertz. We had no problems whatsoever and the final bill was exactly what we were quoted. I chose Easy tour because it was recommended by a coworker who had also used them last year. He told me that they had a mechanical issue after they were on the west coast (rented from DUB) and the car was replaced at their hotel within hours.
I found the rental to be problem free and about 40% cheaper than Dan Dooley ( the next cheapest) when you compare both with Super CDW ( included in the Easy tours rate).
I can assure you I am a real person and not an employee, but I definitely found it to be a good experience, and I plan to use them again when I return this year.
A piece of unsolicited advice: the rental car places will offer you a wifi hotspot for €12 a day or so. I was dumb enough to take it. Turns out I could have bought one with prepaid data from any Tesco for about half of what that cost. Live and learn!
We used them for a trip to Ireland in August, 2013. We had a wonderful car-rental experience! It was just like he said. We paid the quoted price and no one "found" any damages. I would recommend them 100%. I think the price was a little higher than going directly with a rental company, but it was worth the peace of mind.
