Ireland: which Rental has no cross-boarder charges?

Does anyone know which car rental company in the Republic of Ireland
does not impose outlandish extra charges for driving into Northern
Ireland? For Hertz, for example, it's 153 EUR!

I just booked a rental with Dan Dooley because they didn't charge extra.
Quoted from a reply to an email I sent to them asking that very question
(among others).

"There is no charge to take our car into Northern Ireland. We have a
location at Belfast International Airport if you should have any problems."

Very few charge any fee for cross border driving. Europacar don't!

Hertz always charges a complete fortune.. for everything! Them and Avis seem
to be the expensive ones. Europcar and National seem to be cheaper.
Enterprise is cheaper still but the locations are not usually as good.

In fact last month I rented a small car with them (ended up getting a Fiat
Punto 1.3 four door) for five days. It was 110,- EUR incl. insurance (I
think 450,- EUR excess). I could have added a second driver for free, and
a one way rental within the Republic was included. I booked through a
travel agent in Germany and paid in advance.
So if it wasn't for that 153 extra EUR just to drive into the North I
would probably take them again.

I believe that Dan Dooley allows cross-border travel without extra charges.

Last June I rented a car for a week from an Avis outlet in Cork (near
the railway station). There was no extra charge for crossing into N.
Ireland
