Enjoy a pint of Guinness in an authentic setting and find out about Irish heritage at the award-winning EPIC: The Irish Emigration Museum.

The lady at the counter when we took the car was not in the best of mood to say the least. We were charged €4750 as a security deposit. Not sure everybody has that much room on their credit card. She didn’t even explained why the charge was that high. As we were in a rush, I didn’t bother and thought I would take care of this later. After thinking about it, we didn’t even get any proof paper proof of the transaction.Reviewed 9 Aug 2024

Car was incredibly basic without even Bluetooth connectivity. However, the price I paid was very low too and the car, although basic, was of a very good standard. Helpful staff and quick service. Car spotlessly clean.Reviewed 24 May 2024
