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).
The reception at the front desk was indifferent, just going through the motions. The vehicle was not checked before handover, and the gas tank was not filled, allowing only 90 km of driving, which caused range anxiety. The vehicle's engine oil was also not checked, leading to warnings about low oil levels during the trip. The car couldn't be driven and, unfortunately, this vehicle lacked an oil dipstick, requiring computer diagnostics. When I called customer service for help, their attitude was very poor and they told me to handle it myself. Helpless, I had to seek remote assistance from a car service company back home. I ultimately resolved the issue myself, which cost me 20 euros—an expense I shouldn't have had to cover. If my English wasn't good, I have no idea how others would manage.
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.
Old company just change name. They have old cars. The given car was unbalanced and break issue. Poor support. Not recommend it.
