Excellent

I was told on arrival that my card wasn't valid and I'd have to provide a €300 cash deposit along with a €180 admin charge. The car provided was not the one I ordered on the website but was a high mileage wreck with lots of scratches and dents. The air con didn't work and more worryingly the brake fluid light kept coming on. On returning the car the staff weren't interested in my complaints.

There was couple of minor scratches on the plastic bumper, no dent, no real damage, just scratches. Every car has couple of them at least, especially when driving on greek roads. However, they charged 660€ for the damage. For the damage they are not going to fix ever. Even the clerk admitted that it will “most probably stay”. They are making real good money out this “damage” business and I am wondering how this can be legal. I checked and the whole new bumper for hyundai i20 costs half less.

Fortunately I bought full Axa insurance. However it isn’t really care free, because anyway you must cover the damage and then apply for the refund. The settlement should be direct, between car rental company and EasyRentCars / Axa.

People were staggeringly helpful and friendly. Far and away the best car rental experience in a long life so far.
