Easy to rent, good price, only the car was smaller than we ordered (Economy-Nissan Note)

Before renting the car, I specifically contacted the car rental company but did not receive any notice that only credit cards with Visa or MasterChip are accepted. On the rental day, the company said that my credit card with a UnionPay logo could not be used. I asked if my spouse's card could be used, and they said no. When I asked what to do, they said we just need to pay an extra 80 euros to use the credit card with the UnionPay logo and Visa chip. We had two families renting two cars, so we paid an extra 160 euros. Additionally, because the return time was 6 am, outside their business hours, we paid a 24 euro service fee per car. PS: Another Chinese tourist family renting a car at the same time as us also had to pay the 24 euro service fee and a one-month deposit of 1460 euros.

The worst car rental experience I've ever had. Not only were they rude, but after paying the rental fee, they directly charged my card 998 euros as a deductible for insurance, claiming it was not a deposit. They said it would be refunded 12 to 15 business days after confirming the car was fine. I've rented from companies like Avis and Sixt before, and they usually just take a note of your credit card without charging a deposit. This company, however, charges your card immediately and doesn't refund upon return. You could barely find this clause in the rental contract. I wanted to switch rental companies, but they charged me since I didn't provide a PIN immediately. It felt like theft, especially since it was cash. If I weren't abroad and didn't want to ruin my trip, I would've called the police! I even contacted the rental platform's customer service, but only received standard replies saying everything would be fine and they'd report the issue. My question is, what if my credit card expires before I get my refund? Who covers that nearly 1000 euros?

The pickup address provided by Zuzuche was incorrect, which led me to the wrong location. After contacting them, the rental company sent someone to pick me up and take me to get the car. The rental location was very far from the Heraklion port. I originally planned to walk to the port after returning the car. Due to the new return point being very far from the port, walking there was not possible, so I had to pay an additional 10 euros to the rental company for someone to pick up the car from the port. Additionally, the car wasn't provided with a full tank of gas, which was inconvenient as I had to be very cautious not to overfill the tank each time I refueled.

Car was clean and reliable but reasonably old and had some damage to it

Easy to use and no issues

I had to wait over 1 hour to get the vehicle and this is after all the process of signing the contract (which was another 30 minute). They made me wait outside in the middle of the street in the wind for over 1 hour and then gave us a very old van in terrible conditions
