I strongly recommend not choosing this rental company. This time I had a very bad experience! When I returned the car, they told me that there was a bit of sunscreen on the passenger seat. They lied to me, saying that it was covered by insurance, and asked for 144 euros. Fortunately, I was cautious and called the rental customer service. I was informed that the cleaning fee was not covered by insurance. If I paid it, it would be completely out of my pocket. I asked if I could clean it myself, and they agreed. I spent an hour cleaning the stain. It looked perfectly fine to me, but they used a phone flashlight, pressed against the seat, and claimed they could still see it, insisting I still owed 144 euros. I was speechless! It was never about the stain; they just wanted to make money. They wouldn't let me leave without paying! I truly witnessed the 'hospitality' of the Greek people! It's despicable! The condition after I cleaned it is in the picture; please ignore the water stains, they disappeared once dry. They even threatened me, saying if my cleaning wasn't good enough, I would have to pay more! What's more disgusting is that when I refused to pay because it was unreasonable, they threatened to call the police! Do they think they can bully Chinese people?
Excellent service, smooth communication. Originally needed to return the car by 11, but couldn't make it on time. After talking to customer service, they extended it for free until 3 PM. Very impressive.
There are three companies at one location, so it's a bit crowded and requires waiting in line. They gave me an X1, but the brakes made noise and the car was in poor condition. If you're willing to use other brands, you can get a new car, like a Toyota. However, I had too much luggage, and the X1 had enough space to fit three 28-inch suitcases!
The same attendant handled both the pick-up and drop-off, and he was quite unprofessional. It took almost half an hour to complete the paperwork, and others at the rental company seemed embarrassed for him. He was very slow and dragging his feet. Eventually, another female attendant processed the pick-up in just 2 minutes. The same thing happened during the drop-off – there was nothing complicated, just needed someone to check the car, which took over 10 minutes to arrange. After the inspection, there were no issues, but he went off to do something else and took almost another 10 minutes to finalize the paperwork. If you rent a car at Athens Airport, try to avoid this company if possible. If you encounter this specific attendant, you'll need patience and a good temper. If you're in a hurry to get to the airport, it could be troublesome.
Overall, the communication was smooth. They will try to sell you insurance, but if you tell them you already have full coverage, they won't push further. If communication is difficult, you can use Google Translate. Greek drivers generally drive fast, but staying within your lane should prevent major issues. Remember to stop at red lights when turning right! It's important to understand right of way rules, and always stop at stop signs!! I'm still not completely clear on all the rules, so I observe how others drive, but being cautious is always a good idea. This time, we only stayed around Athens, especially near the coast, where the scenery is beautiful. I highly recommend renting a car. For refueling, check the fuel cap for the required type of fuel. Gas prices vary at different stations, and you can check prices on Google Maps. If you can't figure out self-service, just ask the station staff for help. We used Google Maps for navigation the entire trip, which was very convenient, avoiding toll roads and highways.
Overall, the communication was smooth. They will try to sell insurance, but if you tell them you already have full coverage, they won't insist. If you don't understand something, you can use Google Translate. Greek drivers generally drive faster, but as long as you stay within the lanes, there shouldn't be any major issues. Remember to wait for the light when making a right turn! It is crucial to understand the right of way and always stop at stop signs. I still can't fully differentiate, so watch how others drive; being cautious is never wrong. This time we stayed near Athens, and the seaside scenery was great. I highly recommend renting a car. For refueling, the type of fuel required is indicated near the gas cap, and prices vary by station. You can check prices on Google Maps. If self-service is confusing, you can ask the gas station staff for help. For navigation, we used Google Maps throughout, which was very convenient for avoiding toll roads and highways (they charge for each section, which can get expensive).
Overall service was pretty good, but the contract did not state that the fuel level at return must match the level at pickup. When we got the car, it only had two bars of fuel, not a full tank. This made it hard to gauge how much fuel to add when returning the car. We ended up having to pay an extra 15 Euros because the tank was slightly underfilled. Other companies operate on a full-to-full policy. I can't help but feel there's a bit of trickery involved.
