Well I probably spoke too soon.EmetEdadsBeard wrote: Hertz will accept a debit card, I know this as I visit my lad in Dublin on a regular basis and they are the only one I can hire from as I don't have a credit card. They do charge 14 euro a day for waiver insurance (it's either that or 1200 euro deposit!) but on the whole they aren't too bad.
Flew over in August and pre booked and paid for a category 'B' car (Fiesta or similar). Place was heaving when we arrived, loads of reporters and cameramen going somewhere and all running late. Finally got to front of queue and offered a category 'A' car as no 'B's were available and we had somewhere to be (A is the cheapest category). Got a Seat Mii, the tiniest thing I've ever squeezed into, but it got us there.
Contacted customer service on my return, got an apology and a promise of an investigation. Had to chase it up after 3 weeks ON THE PHONE TO IRELAND-TWICE! and finally got offer of a refund E4.81 ffs, about £4.50
Not finished yet but Hertz Ireland can go fook themselves from now on.
