    Sometimes they will ask your preference, mostly they will just send the text, so if you want a letter just ask :)

    If you book on-line they will send you an email with all the details of your booking.

    Book online? I can't as every date I select no times come up, they cannot be booked out everyday for three months!

    Try logging in around midnight and check for available dates. Seems like they refresh their system at that time and I think any cancellations come up. I tried booking during the day last Tuesday and nothing available until October, then tried at 11.50pm and got a slot for this week!! There were a few other slots within a week which hadn't been there during the day!

    I only ever got a txt as well and it's good enough proof that you booked it Imo.

    Don't forget that proof of booking doesn't allow you to legally drive the car - you're depending on the goodwill of the Garda who stops you.

    I never mentioned anything about that side of things. The point I was making was that a text is as good as a letter Imo should you require proof for some reason or another.

    but yeah you are correct in what you say. :)

    My post was more for the benefit of the OP. :)

    You know "proof of booking" isn't a fail-safe they won't give you a fine anyway?
    That said they'll probably let you off, unless the car is in a right state.

    Book it anyway and then logon frquently for cancellations. You will get an earlier slot and there is no penalty if you cancel in time.
