The car we picked up was completely different from the one we originally booked. We had booked a Toyota, but the rental company explained that this car model is only available on the islands, not in Athens. They gave us a car of the same type but insisted we buy full insurance. We actually got a Renault, and this car consumes more fuel. Additionally, the tank was not full when we picked it up.

Satisfied

It was quite late when we picked up the car, probably due to the last flight. There was no car inspection arranged; we just filled out a form, which stated that we received the car with a full tank, and were handed the keys. We found the car ourselves in the parking lot. The car was in great condition. We originally booked a manual, but it was upgraded to an automatic, which we were very satisfied with.

Pickup was very quick. The car was almost a brand new 208 diesel version. Every small scratch was confirmed (and I took photos myself). The pickup point was quite tight and on a slope, making it a bit difficult to drive out, but that's typical in European city centers. Drove 600 kilometers over 4 days and spent 46 euros on fuel. Returning the car was also quick, and there was no over-the-top inspection for scratches. Although the credit card authorization hasn't been lifted even after 10 days, the return slip says 'car ok', so it's not something to worry about.

QEEQ suddenly notified us that Hertz wouldn't be open at 6 AM, which was quite surprising. However, we weren't planning to wake up that early anyway. When we arrived at the store, it felt very professional and the instructions were clear. They also provided some advice regarding refueling. Since we had a long drive ahead, we decided to add extra insurance voluntarily. The car pickup process was very quick. Additionally, they thoughtfully told us we could return the car at 8 AM the next day if we wouldn't make it in the evening, with no extra charge. This added more flexibility to our trip.
