Worst rental experience ever

Very satisfied

The car rental went smoothly. Had to wait for 5 minutes to pick up the car. The store clerk took several photos with a pad, and of course, I did too. When returning the car, an elderly man quickly signed off. I’m happy to give a good review. Booked an automatic Suzuki Swift, but got a Ford Fiesta. Fortunately, it was a hybrid, relatively fuel-efficient. Space wasn’t large but suitable for Athens.

Everything was quite good.

It's not just poor service; it's a scam. They don't accept Visa or MasterCard with the UnionPay logo, so you have to pay a high cash deposit. They arbitrarily change the vehicle model. During inspections, they deliberately distract customers and record numerous small flaws while hiding serious scratches, only to extort you when returning the car. I had an early flight, and the Chinese guy before me had to pay 50 euros because part of his front grille fell off without any collision. I was relieved to drive carefully, but then they pointed out a scratch near the right front bumper close to the ground and demanded 250 euros! It was clearly an old scratch, but they wouldn't listen to any explanation and told me to negotiate with the manager, who only comes in at 8:30 AM. My entire trip ended on a sour note because of this scheme. If such a rental company can be listed on your platform, it speaks volumes about your standards.

The pickup process took longer than expected when compared to other companies I have dealt with before. Upon returning the car, the rental company informed me that there were scratches on the front disc wheel and charged me 171 euros. However, when I received the invoice via email, it stated that I only owed 140 euros.
