Pleased with Avance car rental experience. Pick up and drop off at Athens airport was straightforward. We received a low mileage Renault Cleo which performed well. Big enough to haul 3 adults and carry ons, yet small enough to navigate the roads and parking in Greece. Prices this year in Greece seem high everywhere, yet felt we received fair value from the pricing we received from Kayak/Avance. Would use them again.

I reserved an VW EOS, or "equivalent" - they told me to take a Mini Cooper. We're a family of 4, with 4 suitcases. Obviously, this wasn't going to happen. No more AVIS for us!

I rented a car two days -- it was supposed to be ready at 9am and when I showed up at 2pm to pick it up I had to wait 45 min until I made other plans and had to cancel the rental with Avis. 10 people working in that office and being told every 5 minutes "it's coming" - it is just unacceptable! Never again.

Kayak follow up on customer satisfaction

I reserved a car which can hold specific number of passengers (8) Kayak reservation was clearly stated number of passengers 8 but Avis rep said Kayak made a mistake and I need to pay an additional$99 euros for this 4 day rental over and above the agreement. Even if there is discrepancy Avis should pick this up with Kayak and not put a gun on customer's head when he/she has no other choice. Additionally car has multiple scratches and dents, over all renting a car in 3rd. World countries is always risky and unpredictable.

We were given a new car with a broken cigarette lighter port. As a consequence about 1/2 hour into our trip the gps lost power and we spent 3 hours lost in the suberbs of Athens lost

The customer service was excellent, and they even give you free coffee from a fancy Illy machine while you wait.

The wait while they pulled up the car was a little long (about 15 minutes). The office on Siggrou is a little tricky to access since you have to drive up onto the sidewalk and then out into oncoming traffic. The car was pretty touchy and it would stick between gears, but I suppose that is what I get for renting the cheapest option.

Green motion is not in the airport, the have a shuttle but information desk don’t have any information about that company. When finally he came for us the guy say the office is close and he have to stay behind to give the car away, one he learn that will be returning the car really early in the morning outside of business hours and he will have to come early too, he start mentioning that I need a UE driving permit to pick up the car and refuse to give me the car without it. The UE permit is real but the rental car company do net need it to rent the car technically a cop could pull you over and ask for it but in my opinion no cop will pull you over. I saw a car run a red light on a pedestrian cross almost hit a pedestrian with 2 motorcycle cop next to the scene and they did not react to it.

Took over two hours to collect the car - car was fine but they have some procedures which are unnecessary such as needing to send back their own confirmation email before they will release your car. Be prepared to wait a long time and face some challenges

When receiving the car and writing the damages on the car, the staff didn’t write all the damages which were several damages, we took pictures of all of the damages in case there were to be any questions when returning the car. In fact, there were a lot of questions, the receiver of the car checked and some of the details that we asked to be written in the paper were questioned. She even asked to showed her our pictures to confirm in deed that the damages were already there. She wanted to find something to charge us for damages, thankfully we got proof that the damage on the car were already there when we got the auto. Also gas they said 7:8 but when driving outside the lot the car was at less than 6/8 we took a picture as well. I’ll not rent with them again any where in the world.

It was not open at pickup. It was supposed to be. I called emergency number and they did not have my reservation and said they would be there in 50 minutes. Unacceptable as I had to be somewhere and I had to rent with another company. Lost my money in this prepaid rental and would like refund.

Green Motion mentioned that they would refund the full deposit that they charged me earlier when I picked up the car. The amount was supposed to be $1,487 per the receipt I got from them, but they refunded me $1,439 only.

It was a terrible experience. The car rental store was closed. I had to wait outside more than 20 minutes the owner to return. When he went he wanted to charge me 31€ more and charge the credit card with 870€ for 20 days!!! I canceled the reservation and I hope you will refund the payment. I almost lost my business appointment and cost me much more because I had to take a taxi.
