Some boyos these companies.  Over in Orlando and rented a car. Brought it back on time (1 hour early) and get home and am billed for being 1 hour late.  Literally 2 hours later than I dropped it back in reality.

Luckily used my debit card in the terminal to buy food at the time they claimed I dropped it back so had proof for the bank and got a charge back.

This the 1st year that I've not got a car. Would always be out spinning around the place in them.

The last 5 times I've been ripped off too - and they have creative ways of ripping you off.

I looked at the prices and they are through the roof.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Depends where you are and what you want to do

Nice to be on your own schedule etc

Be a disaster arriving into Ireland to see the sights and being reliant on public transport.

Exactly. Plus 20 min after getting to Dublin airport right up until the morning after I get home I'll probably be over the limit anyway.

Have you ever tried getting to Baltimore in West Cork by public transport?

Driving on holidays cancels out all pints. Only nerds go driving visiting old sh*t on their holidays. Skulling cervesas and checking out fine things with my mirrored aviators on down the beach is the way to go.
