Well, I was curious to see what they had. There was a long line at the counter, but when I told the employee I was a Platinum member, they immediately let me skip ahead of everyone else. Sure, that's great for the others. They told me I would get a brand new Audi A6 and that I was the first renter. They then tried to sell me the tank, explaining to the people next to me that the €2 they were paying was cheaper than on the street. Well, a liter costs around €1.70, and when you consider that there are always a few liters left in the tank at the end, it's obviously a great deal. We'd rather fill up ourselves at the end, despite the special price.
The A6 only had 10 kilometers on the clock, but it was from the old series (someone has to take the old cars) and had pretty basic equipment. The car had almost nothing, and the imitation leather made you sweat. The diesel engine, probably the smallest one, performed reasonably well. It was fine for Ireland.
