Dublin Full Day Bike Rental

i really wanted to see this park on my last day in Dublin and the staff were very helpful especially since i hadn't ridden a bike in a long time and was also worried about getting lost. They provided me with a lock to keep the bike safe in this vast park that I truly would not have gotten very far in on foot. Of the park itself, i had no idea where to go. I did eventually find the visitor centre and their little cafe was lovely! I had a slice of guinness cake! The coffee was good, too. I saw a little tea cafe in walking distance of the bike rental which also looked like a fun place to park for the whole day. I didn't find the deer.

We rented 4 e-bikes from Phoenix Park Bikes for an hour, and the experience was disappointing from start to finish. It started with the fact that the batteries were not fully charged. Shortly after the start of our tour, one of the bikes had a flat tire after only about 25 minutes. This was clearly not due to our riding style or nails or glass shards, but obviously due to material wear and poor maintenance. As a result, we had to end the tour early as a group. Three of us rode the 3.8 km back to the station to report the incident. The fourth person could not walk back due to severe knee problems. In the end, another colleague had to pick up the defective bike and bring a replacement e-bike so that our friend could return. There was no pickup service or support – neither for the bike nor for the affected person. Upon returning, we at least wanted a refund for the defective bike since we could not even fully utilize the booked time. Instead of showing understanding, the employee reacted unfriendly and said we should be glad we didn't have to pay for the repair since we had signed. We were not offered any solution, apology, or any form of goodwill. Absolutely unprofessional and unfriendly service. Customers cannot be blamed for poorly maintained and worn-out bicycles. The bicycles need to be checked, maintained, and defective bikes removed from rental much more thoroughly. We definitely cannot recommend this bike rental service. We rented 4 e-bikes from Phoenix Park Bikes for one hour, and the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. It already began with the batteries not being fully charged. Shortly after starting our tour, one of the bikes got a completely flat tire after only about 25 minutes. This was clearly not caused by bad riding, nails, or broken glass — it was obvious material wear and poor maintenance. Because of this, our whole group had to end the tour early. Three of us rode back the 3.8 km to the bike station to report the issue, while the fourth person could not walk that distance due to serious knee problems. Eventually, another colleague had to pick up the defective bike and bring a replacement e-bike so our friend could get back. There was no support vehicle or assistance offered for either the broken bike or the customer. When we returned the bikes, we politely asked for a refund for the defective bike since we were unable to fully use the rental time. Instead of showing understanding, the employee became rude and told us we should be “happy” that we were not being charged for the repair because we had signed the rental agreement. No solution, refund, or goodwill gesture was offered at all. This was absolutely unacceptable and very unprofessional customer service. Customers should not be blamed for defective and poorly maintained bikes. The bikes clearly need much better maintenance, regular inspections, and worn-out equipment should be removed from service immediately. We definitely cannot recommend this bike rental service.

Very fast rental. The bikes are well maintained and with the mechanics overhauled perfectly.

Comfortable bikes, safe, friendly staff! Recommended experience as the park is very large on foot would take too long!

Excellent service. We hired the bikes for €14 for 3 hours. It's in a great location next to Phoenix Park which has lots of cycle lanes and is a great area to ride around. The staff were very friendly, it's quick to get your bikes, they're great bikes, and excellent value for money! Would 100% recommend when on a trip here
