Pros: Nothing it was an awful experience
Cons: We arranged to drop the car at 9am and we needed the terminal transfer, the agent arrived at 9:30 in a foul mood, didn’t acknowledge us and eventually I had to ask if his company would pay for new flights if we miss ours, he then blew up and started shouting that I was a problem. Other men from the car hire company next to his had to divert him away from me. Another man was asked to drop us to the terminal my wife asked the angry man to sign the hire agreement and he threw the pen at her.
Pros: It was easy and no waste of time
Pros: Essence cars would not accept american express card with which i had made the initial booking. I was left stranded because I didn't have any other credit card and was encouraged to spend €500 to purchase further insurance and then they would accept american express card.
Cons: Actively trying to extract extra money for something I booked and then reading something in minutes detail that said american express card wasn't acceptable.
Pros: Great service and great staff but car wasn’t good noise car
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Leaving such a large deposit
