Has this happened to anyone we had a flight delay of over 1.5 hours with Ryanair and do to this we had to pay out of hours and also the car hire company forced us to take the comprensive car insurance, what are the chances of claiming against the Ryanair has anyone ever done this or is it a cas of take it on the chin and get over it

I wont name the car hire company yet and to be honest the guy who was there was very helpful he was like a night porter.

Most times when you hire a car you can pay a few euro for delay insurance. I only take this out if my pick up time is close to their out of hours periods. Don't think you have any chance of getting it back of the airline , Ryanair or anybody else. Grin and bear it sounds like.

Well maybe I take the plunge and buy a car and ###k the hire companies of in the long run it will save me money and hassle and I get a decent car I like to drive if it was possible I would take this company to the highest court but what I will do is put the company on Twitter and let the whole world know how piss poor they are I won’t fall again only once will they get me on this so watch Twitter it’s going on now

Yes its on twitter now and the the company is Dikkemans well lets see what happens i am not for giving bad publicity but cross me and i will let everyone know in the world but i will also give a massive 11/10 for some great companies. Who deserves the publicity. I am not happy and i will get legal advice and probably change my regular airline from mr O’Leary company. And pay the extra sometimes like the saying goes if its to good to be true it usssaly is Not worth paying the cheaper one pay the extra and get the real deal cheap is not always the best so i might turn left now instead of turning right and join the posh people well mayb EE not lol :text-lol:

Had my Rant now. No mo0re time to move on but i will will retweet dikkemans on twitter for a month :text-lol:

I think many people are well aware about that company, reading their reviews, I wouldn´t touch them with a barge pole, a little research can save a lot of aggro.

The same happened to us with Smart car,we were 3/4 hour late and had to pay another €40 . We’ve been ripped off so many times that we decided to buy. It’s a lot easier €250 a year to park it at Ecoparking. Solved

I can understand why you are not happy but you don't have to take out extra insurance if you don't want to.
