The process was easy. I reserved trough the website and pick up at Cork Airport. The staff were friendly and they explained everything to me. There were no hidden fees, or anything unexpected. The car was great, in immaculate condition. At drop off, again the process was easy and fast. I could not recommend enough this company, as it never disappoints!
