The port pickup location displayed in the order has been closed for 5 years, and the information was not updated. We had to take a taxi to the airport to pick up the car. With only one day to explore, we spent half the day on car pickup. This was the worst experience!

I couldn't pick up the car successfully, and there was no follow-up solution. It's better to rent directly from the car rental company upon arrival.

Counter staff were kind and helpful no problems at all with paperwork etc. Courtesy ride back to the airport from the drop off point was very welcome.

Only complaint was that Drive did not have their own office at Zakynthos airport. Instead they are collocates with Europcar just outside the airport.

Car was an old and battered Corsa, more akin to a well used second hand car rather than a hire car. The air con was woeful and was next to useless and was a key requirement at this time of year in Greece. The rental return staff blamed the car manufacturer!!

Despite purchasing the full insurance, they unfairly charged me for damage after an accident. It's been two months since I rented the car in June and I haven't received any insurance compensation. Customer service has been unable to resolve the issue.

When I went to pick up the car in the morning, the staff seemed to have a poor impression of Chinese drivers. He repeatedly asked if I really wanted to rent the car and kept emphasizing how much I would have to pay if there was an accident. It was quite confusing at first. I had to repeatedly assure him that I could drive and really wanted to rent the car. After a long explanation, he finally rented the car to us. It was quite strange. Perhaps because this place is very rural and I rented a mini convertible, he was worried I might damage it. It was a bit frustrating. In the end, I returned the car in perfect condition without any issues.

It took around 15 minutes to get the car. The car met our expectations, was enough to handle difficult Zakynthos rosds. Drop off without any problems, quick transport to the airport.

Could not get the car, CARWIZ is a terrible company. They didn't accept an English notarization, even though the companion with an international driver’s license was allowed. The owner refused to rent to us because our Chinese credit card did not have 'credit card' labeled in English. We called customer service on-site, and although they communicated with the owner, the owner claimed he never received the prepayment when we asked about a refund. The payment was through the Zuzuche platform, so the owner agreed to cancel the order but required an email from Zuzuche to his company. However, Zuzuche's after-sales service could only intervene after the order ended. So, the order had to be completed, and we couldn't negotiate with the rental company. After the order ended, Zuzuche told me that the conclusion of after-sales service was no refund. The prepayment was with Zuzuche, but since the rental company refused to refund, they were going to transfer the money to the rental company. Now, they need proof from me that the rental company promised a refund. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. Thanks, everyone.

Car was in very poor condition in and out, the worst thing was the smell inside the car that won't go away even after windows left open overnight.. Replacement car was offered after contacting Green motion which was good.

Car was great, but rear seatbelt fastenings oddly had their covers removed, meaning that when a bump was hit or a bend in the road the passenger leans against the switch and the seatbelt was unfastened! Very dangerous.

The attitude was quite unfriendly, forcing us to buy additional insurance. They don't rent cars without an international driving permit and didn't even look at the translation. Once the insurance was upgraded, it was fine. Clearly a scam.

This shop didn't mind me renting two cars under the same name as long as I had enough drivers with valid licenses. However, the charges were confusing. I booked through the mobile app, and the car rental platform pre-paid RMB 427 per car. The order showed I had to pay EUR 256.74 per car at the store, but I ended up paying EUR 286.5 per car along with a deposit of EUR 806 per car on my credit card. The deposit hasn't been refunded even after returning the cars, which caused my credit card to max out, forcing me to change names for car rentals in Crete and Santorini.

This store had no issues with me renting two cars under the same name as long as I provided enough drivers with valid licenses. However, the charges were very confusing. Both bookings were made via the mobile app, with the platform prepaying RMB 427 per car while the order indicated EUR 256.74 per car to be paid at the store. But when we got there, we had to pay EUR 286.5 per car. Additionally, they charged a deposit of EUR 806 per car on my credit card, which wasn't refunded after returning the cars. This maxed out my credit card and I had to change names for car rentals in Crete and Santorini.

You have to cross the road from the airport to collect the car. ADDCAR locked 1,300e on my credit card. Other car rental companies didn't.

The car rental office is very easy to find, just a 300-meter walk to the left after exiting the airport. The paperwork is simple with no insurance upsells. We booked a Polo but received a very new Citroën C3. The trunk is spacious enough for two large suitcases and one small suitcase. The tank wasn't full, and you don't need to return it full either. Zakynthos isn't very big, so unless you're driving around the island every day, you won't use much fuel.

The car was far below expectations. We did not get the model hired. The car was old (58k kilometers) holes and stains on the seats. Clearly we got the oldest car on stock. No value for money. I will not hire there again

Be sure to take every possible photos when you pick up the car, even under the car. Take the time to do it, even filming in HD to have the best angles. This is to avoid any discussion on return. If you miss any detail (especially under the car) it will be a problem.

No airport pickup, has to walk 5 minutes to the office. Counter staff was rude. Car was nothing like the one I saw in the pictures. The car condition was terrible, old and dirty with engine sounds. Upon returning the car, they knew exactly where to look for to find an odd chip in the paint job underneath the car, and charged me for the damage. I would not recommend this company one bit even if the rental is free.

Because our flight was delayed, they charged us over 20 euros. Others who booked through the same platform didn't get charged. It feels like a scam.

The Zakynthos airport is likely building various rental kiosks. They wait with signs at the airport exit, which is convenient. Their current store is just to the left of the airport exit with a clearly marked sign. The process is convenient, although I'm slightly disappointed I couldn't choose the car myself. For mountain roads, a powerful car is better.
