The staff at the Santorini Airport car rental were fantastic. Despite our limited English, they communicated patiently, and the car return process was quick and convenient.

This is the first time I've encountered being denied an early pickup. The elderly man at the front desk had a sulky face as if I were trying to cheat them. I've rented cars in many countries, and almost all companies allow a 4-hour early pickup. They are afraid that customers might take advantage of them. This company charges your deposit with a high exchange rate and returns it a few days later at a lower rate, causing you to lose some money due to the difference in rates. They are always finding ways to make money off you. This is the first time I've come across such practices after renting so many cars! Other companies would cancel the authorization, so the deposit would be refunded directly. Think you're done? Santorini is a scam. You add 10 euros of fuel, and you actually get 5 liters of air because it finishes filling in 2 seconds. The starting amount is 7 euros, and after driving only 90 kilometers, the fuel gauge doesn't move even after adding 20 euros of fuel. Locals seem to accept this way of scamming tourists! Avoid Santorini, it will make you miserable!

Rented during the off-season, no waiting required, completed the formalities and picked up the car immediately. The car was not the model I reserved and was slightly smaller than expected. When returning the car, there was no staff in the office area, had to call someone to come and complete the return.

Foi uma péssima experiência com o serviço. No processo de locação estava disponível horário de reserva às 7 horas e que deveríamos ligar no telefone fornecido para o encontro com a operador. Nada funcionou, estava tudo fechado e o telefone fornecido não recebia ligações. Ficamos 1 hora esperando no aeroporto sem qualquer contato e depois de muitas pesquisas na internet encontramos o endereço da Surface, que só operava à partir das 8h. Perdemos mais de 1 hora e chegamos a acreditar que havia fraude no serviço pois ninguém respondia chat e nem havia qualquer telefone para contato. Nem da surface nem da QeeQ.

The car was in poor condition, full of damages. The pre-authorization of 1,100 euros was directly charged 26 days after returning the car, without any documents or communication. Now I have to resolve this through Zuzuche.

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.

The rental company staff were very friendly. They couldn't find my reservation from QEEQ but arranged a new car for me without changing the price. I suggest renting directly from the car rental company next time as QEEQ is unreliable.

Scheduled a car exchange, but the store was closed. They didn't answer the phone even though someone was obviously there. Almost missed my flight. Suspect they wanted to charge extra by not taking the car back.

I had to wait in line for an hour to pick up the car. They gave me a brand new car. When I tried to inspect it, they rushed me to sign, saying there were no issues since it was new. It turned out to be a trap! When I returned the car, the staff immediately inspected the area under the front license plate. I was curious why they were so focused there. As soon as I got out of the car, they claimed there was damage under the front. They asked if I knew about it. I was certain that there had been no accidents during my rental period. As for the small dent under the license plate, who knows if it was already there when I picked up the car! They rushed me to sign the paperwork at pickup, and now I realize it was intentional. They took me to the service desk, where an older woman rudely told me I needed to pay over 400 euros for that small dent. Charging that much for such a tiny dent is definitely a scam, taking advantage of my full insurance. Always choose a big rental company in the future. These small companies might be cheaper initially, but they can cause limitless trouble down the line.

Average. They are rigid in their processes; renting and returning cars must be done during business hours. Additionally, the car must be picked up precisely at the scheduled time, and returns are limited to business hours, which is very inconvenient.

The car I picked up was not the model I reserved, and it turned out to be an electric car. I have almost no experience driving electric cars, and the dashboard indicated the handbrake wasn't released, so the car wouldn’t move. When I asked the staff, they had no idea either, and there was only this one model available with no alternatives except switching to a manual. On top of that, the electric car’s battery drained extremely fast, and I could only buy charging service from the store, which ended up costing more than fuel.

On arrival at the airport I had to ask another desk where ABBYCAR was situated and there was no desk as described online.

The car was much bigger and older than the one we booked at the reservtion so we were not able to park properly to the hotel´s parkway.

It was quite late when we picked up the car, probably due to the last flight.

The car was in great condition. We originally booked a manual, but it was upgraded to an automatic, which we were very satisfied with.

Terrible experience at picking up the car here. Just because I didn’t want to purchase their own insurance (because I had an insurance with a third company), they treated me in very rude manner. The guy seemed offended and started telling me that I was the only one doing such a thing and when I ask you to give me a piece of paper where he wrote all the conditions of the deposit I was paying he throw it to the bin in such a theatrical way saying that that paper was his (he should have studied drama instead of being a mediocre rental car assistance). Then he made me sign the contract when it said that the card did not have any scratches when I have not had seen the car and I politely asked to see the car first. He shouted at me saying that that was normal procedure. When I arrive to the car there were scratches so I had to make them come to the car and amend the contract by hand.

We arrived at the airport very late and asked them to deliver the car to the airport. However, the car they provided was not the one we had reserved; it was an old JEEP. What's even more frustrating is that the window broke and wouldn't roll up the day before we returned the car. It seems it's still better to rent from a big rental company.

There is no office at Santorini Airport. At the agreed time, a staff member will come to you with the car. The guy who assisted was very friendly and explained everything clearly. When returning the car, you might sometimes leave it directly at the airport parking lot without locking it or meeting anyone. Although this feels a bit unsettling, it seems to be fine.

The car's condition was very poor and felt like it could stall at any moment. Initially, we were worried about fitting our luggage, so we deliberately rented a larger car. However, when we went to pick up the car, the staff gave us a Smart with a piece of paper as a license plate. The luggage barely fit inside, but it was very uncomfortable for passengers and there was no room for any additional luggage. Upon arrival at the airport, there was no staff to be found, so we quickly contacted the car rental customer service. The customer service representative said the staff should be holding a sign to greet us and asked us to contact the rental company. We called, and the rental company told us to wait. The airport staff noticed our anxiety and kept calling on our behalf. In the end, we missed the sunset completely. We didn’t get to see the sunset for the remaining two days on Santorini due to the weather, which was deeply disappointing. Given the perfect weather on the day we arrived, it made the disappointment even worse. This car rental experience felt like a total failure. I would have preferred not to book in advance and instead rent from a larger local company upon arrival to avoid such issues.

It took us forever to find the car rental company after coming out of the airport, we couldn't find it at all! Called the rental company on-site and they said someone would meet us at the airport exit. We had to ask everyone at the exit if they were from the rental company until we finally found them. The guy from the rental company was squatting in a corner, and had I not asked, I wouldn't have known he was the rental company contact. Couldn't he at least hold a sign?
