Real feedback from drivers across Greece
We collect feedback from every booking to keep service standards high. Below are recent reviews from drivers who picked up vehicles at airports, city desks and coastal resorts. Each reflects the actual handover process, vehicle condition and support received during the rental period.
Collected a Toyota Hilux at Heraklion Airport in March for a ten-day trip around Crete. The pickup process was smooth, vehicle was spotless, and the representative explained the ferry permission document we needed for a day trip to Santorini. Drove to Chania, Elafonissi, Balos and back via mountain villages. Fuel economy was better than expected on highway stretches. Drop-off took five minutes. Excellent service throughout.
Picked up a Suzuki Jimny at Chania Airport early June for exploring western Crete. Desk staff were professional, keys handed over within fifteen minutes. The Jimny handled the gravel track to Balos Lagoon without trouble, and we drove through Samaria Gorge access roads and up to Omalos Plateau. Air conditioning worked perfectly during the heatwave. Returned the vehicle at the airport desk with zero issues. Would book again.
Collected a Dacia Duster at Rhodes Airport in late July. Vehicle was clean and ran well during our week exploring Lindos, Prassonisi and mountain villages. The handover had a slight delay at the airport desk during peak afternoon arrivals, but staff apologised and the wait was only twenty minutes. Documentation was clear, and the return process was quick. Minor hiccup aside, the vehicle performed exactly as needed for our coastal and inland routes.
Rented a Hyundai Tucson from Athens Airport in April for a mainland tour. Drove to Delphi, Meteora and Thessaloniki over eight days, covering roughly 1,200 km. Motorway tolls were straightforward at cash lanes, and the vehicle handled long highway stretches and mountain passes comfortably. Fuel stations were easy to find along main routes. Drop-off at Athens was efficient. Solid experience from start to finish.
Booked a Jeep Renegade for collection at Thessaloniki Airport in May. The desk was easy to locate, paperwork took under ten minutes, and the vehicle was parked right outside. We drove to Halkidiki beaches, explored Sithonia Peninsula dirt tracks and visited Ouranoupoli. The 4WD system was reliable on rougher coastal access roads. Returned the vehicle with a full tank as agreed. Flawless process and great support.
Picked up a Fiat Panda at Heraklion city desk in January for a week exploring central Crete. The compact size made parking in Rethymno and Agios Nikolaos old town easy. Staff explained where to find BP fuel stations along the route. We drove to Matala, Knossos and Arkadi Monastery without any mechanical issues. Drop-off was handled in minutes. Perfect for narrow village streets and coastal roads.
Collected a Nissan Qashqai at Kos Airport in September for a five-day island tour. The representative walked us around the vehicle, noted existing marks on the agreement and provided a local map. We visited Zia mountain village, Kefalos beaches and Tigaki salt lake. The vehicle was fuel-efficient and comfortable on both paved roads and gravel coastal tracks. Return inspection took less than three minutes. Highly professional service.
Rented a Suzuki Vitara for pick-up in Hersonissos in August. We wanted to explore Lasithi Plateau and the inland villages around Kritsa and Kroustas. The AWD system handled the steep climbs confidently, and the representative provided contact details for roadside support. We covered around 600 km over six days, including a trip to Elounda and Spinalonga. No problems at all. Drop-off at Kokkini Hani was swift and friendly.
