Customer experience

Good and reliable company for renting a car abroad

Easy website, easy phone contact when I had questions. Everything well-organized. Friendly staff. Have rented a car through this company several times and have always been very satisfied.

You are what you say you are

Very easy booking system with clear information. Pick up and drop off were easy. We had a very new car which was above our expectations. An agent was waiting for us at pick up and drop off and dealt with us speedily. Do make sure you have enough credit availability for the guarantee for the excess, if you don't take the extra insurance. we were 100% satisfied.

Very Satisfactory

Booking a car was easy, the rate competitive and the email reminder and link to the rental voucher near the hire date was very useful. I will definitely use the site again.

Right car, right place, right time

I was offered the type of car I wanted in the location I wanted, and at short notice. Other Web sites were coming up with a blank. Price was reasonable and customer service very good.

Car hire Dublin

There was a real made by the Enterprise Staff to make this a positive experience for me. I was meted and greeted so well that I am going to test it again shortly for sustainability. It was all good, They were not busy but were intent on chatting and being pleasant. I was impressed that I was shown how to manage the car , operating of lights etc, Its not been common in my experience, I hire cars about six times a year and have had bad issues.

Good service and easier accessed. Only thing that was...

Good service and easier accessed. Only thing that was not mentioned at time of booking were the additional extras that needed to be paid for at he time of collection.

Trip To CORK

I thought that the price offered was very reasonable however, there was no information on the site to let me know that the rental company, Thrifty would ask me pay €90 more than the agreed price for insurance, this was explained as was explained to me at the desk was due to the fact that I made the booking with a laser card. I then had to register my credit card so as not to incur this non refundable charge. I would suggest that you make people aware of this on the site, even if it is a industry standard as it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Overall though the staff were very courtious and changed my car on request. I would recommend this site to others as it seemed to give the best price on the day of travel.

My car hire experience

I was very pleased with 121 car hire. On arrival at Dublin airport we were collected promptly by minibus and taken to the office. Details were exchanged quickly and we were given a brand new toyota yaris. We had no problems with the car and staff were polite and helpful. I would definetly use this company again and would recommend.

fast pick up

very quick pick up no waiting for shuttle bus saves alot time

good customer service

The website was easy to use and the price was fair. The company who gave us the car at the airport was Budget. All the paperwork said that the tank was full but when I got to the car it was only half full. Fortunately I checked this and had to go back into the airport terminal to tell them and change my paperwork so I wasn't charged for half a tank on my return. I also did not have a credit card on me to leave a deposit for the indurance and they didn't accept credit cards for this purpose so I had no option but to pay extra for the insurance. I also feel that the price for hiring a childs car seat being twice that of the car hire is bordering on extortion. We ended up bringing our own on the flight as it worked out much cheaper.

Cheap quick efficient and friendly

Very quick and efficient pick up and drop off. Car almoat brand new, well groomed, no hard sell of extra insurance and very friendly staff

Easy Car Hire

The 121 website was easy to use with a wide range of options. Prices are very competetive and the service was flawless throughout with easy pick up and drop off.

Fair price, easy to collect and return, good car

We have collect the car from GreenMotion hollidayInn Heathrow, it was easy and fast, the price was the lowest among all rentals, the car was in perfect condition, and the drop-of prosses took no longer than 5 minutes. highly recomended service and rental.

Value for money

Collection and drop off great. Car was quite high mileage, but I guess you get what you pay for. Not particularly happy about the 10 euro charge for cleaning, after all I'm not going to try find a car wash at 4am in a country I'm not familiar with. Friendly staff.

Best Car Hire

Got upgraded to really great car with good price offer. Surprised to find car had sat nav, reversing camera and parking sensors together with cruise control. Diesel fuel just made the experience a joyful one. Service was excellent with friendly staff.

Very good service

We were dealt with quickly and respectfully both on pick up and return of the vehicle. Downside is the 30 min wait for the shuttle bus if you just miss one.

Galway is among the fastest-growing European capitals but despite its development, it still maintains a warm, small-town ambience. Its lively arts scene makes it highly recognised by people around the world, especially every summer when the Galway Arts Festival is being held. Dubbed as the gateway to the west, getting there is complemented by cheap car hire in Galway Airport upon arrival. Travellers can avail cheap car hire in Galway Airport for more convenience it exploring the city and beyond.

One of Galway's major attractions is Lynch's Castle that dates back to 1490 and with renovations done in the 19th century. The Galway Cathedral is another site that is not likely to be missed since it reigns over the city skyline.

The Galways Arts Centre is worth visiting for its readings, exhibits, and concerts. It is housed in the townhouse where Lady Augusta Gregory once lived. City memorabilia, local documents, and photographs are housed in the Galway City Museum. Other interesting places to see in Galway include the Nora Barnacle House where the wife of James Joyce once lived, the Eyre Square's pedestrian park, and the festive medieval quarter.

A lot of leisure activities can be done in Galway. Golfing is one favourite pastime at the Galway Bay Golf and Country Club while horseback riding can be done through woodlands, mountain lands, farmlands, and forests. More the city's culture and tradition are best experienced in Galway's restaurants and pubs where visitors can enjoy fresh catch from the Atlantic, Irish music, and Guinness.

Day trips beyond Galway should be done and this is where car rental can be beneficial to travellers. A trip to the wild and rugged region of Connemara provides bogs, mountain passes, and serene valleys. Hiking trails and ocean views are not to be missed at the Twelve Bens mountain range. The Aran Islands should also be seen for Ireland's Christian and pre-Christian remnants along with the Dun Aengus Iron Age stone forts in Inishmor.
