The “no credit card” punishment isn’t ideal as many people don’t have them and it adds over £100 to the rental cost which seems a tad penal to me.

First class service from very friendly staff

Great service, friendly knowledgeable and helpful staff members especially William in Derry city. Always a spotlessly clean car. I use them whenever in Ireland and thoroughly recommend them.
Hertz Customer
Very friendly, efficient service at the front desk. Explained everything very clearly with minimum fuss and stressed the importance of returning the car with a full fuel tank. One of the best hire car collection experiences I have had. Would definitely use again and recommend to family/friends.
