I have begun the search for our rental vehicle.I asked for a quote from Dan Dooley. I loved the suggestion I received from the forum to ask for a compact vehicle for the first two days and trade in in for a 7 passenger van when my other two sons arrive.
i sent them the following request and received the attached reply on my attachment. Does anyone have an opinion? It looks like a better rate than I received from Hertz or Budget.
"I would like a rate for renting a vehicle: From 8/22 /2014 Shannon airport - a compact vehicle for 3 people and 3 luggage at 9 am . Then trading in this vehicle the morning of 8/24 for a 7 passenger van with luggage for the five of until 8/29. We have a world MasterCard and will decline CDW.We will return the van in Dublin. There is a possibility we may then need a compact car on 9/2 at the Dublin airportuntil 9/4 for two of us. Please send me a quote for the 8/22 thru 8/29 portion and a second quote if we add on the 9/2-9/4 car." Thank You, Cindi

The quotes you received were all for Pick Up and Drop off at SNN. You might be better served to call the 800 number (In New Jersey) to get personalized attention. They have always been quite helpful when I have called them.
You might ask if there would be a price advantage to rent the van for the full week and then a shorter rental of the smaller car, in Dublin.

Thanks Bob,
I wasn't aware they had NJ 800 number. I'll find it on their website. I missed the Shannon returns, I specifically mentioned Dublin in my written inquiry, they must have missed it. I will call them on Monday and I agree that will be a much easier way to personalize it. Have a great weekend:)
