I have nearly ten experiences of renting a car abroad, and this is the worst condition I've encountered. The car is very old (possibly 10 years old) and has been repainted, without an office address for the rental company.
The car's condition is extremely poor (the brakes make strange noises, and there's a fear it won't stop on steep slopes). The car is old with dented doors and numerous scratches. Since there was no documentation to indicate car damage (very irresponsible), we had to meticulously take photos as evidence. There was so much damage that we took around 150 photos, spending over an hour under the hot sun, which was very inconvenient on the roadside, hampering other cars and requiring us to move the car. The lighter socket was also broken, so we couldn't charge our phones, which was very inconvenient.
If you are not returning the car near the airport, such as at a port, you need to pay an additional 15 euros in cash (even though the staff is driving to the same place, not sure why there’s a difference?!)
If you need to pick up or return the car an hour or two earlier, there are extra charges, and there's no flexibility with only specific times every two to three hours for pick-up and return. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a rental company, it took us half a day. I recommend avoiding this company in Santorini.
Incorrect information about airport meetup location. Had to call twice
Pickup took 20-30’ longer than usual
Everything else was impeccable and value for money was certainly outstanding
Terrible experience. They charged for a tiny scratch at the bumper 250 euros, that can be fixed with a 10 euros spray. But they will never fix it anyway because the car has multiple scratches from previous users. Even if they have to charge a 50 euros fee would be acceptable. But is was obvious that the car had in the past a major accident and was dangerous while driving because the whole car was trembling with a speed of only 60km/h. The treatment was so unacceptable that they lost a customer. They didn’t even share a price list for any damage but charged at will. I am sure that if I move legally I will get a large sum back.
“Excellent experience - I would use Surprise retail again.”
About SURPRICE RENT A CAR:10.0/10
Irene (counter staff) was fantastic, very helpful. Unfortunately I did not get the gentleman's name at drop off, but he was just as helpful and pleasant.
This time, I rented a car with only 100 kilometers on it, and the other cars also looked very new. Overall, it seems like the best company is quite professional.
