Very good, the rental company drove the car to the airport to pick me up according to the scheduled time.

I booked an automatic Volkswagen that could fit three pieces of luggage, but they gave me an Opel that couldn’t even fit two. Alternatively, they offered me an old, manual Opel. Since my luggage didn’t fit, I had no choice but to upgrade the vehicle.

The car was ok apart from the clutch, think it was near ready to be change, very high release. Did not like the pick up procedure. They would not take myself, my wife and luggage to the rental place. My wife had to wait on her own outside the airport terminal while I went to collect the car. It was not because of lack of space, I was the only one in the van. I then had to drive back to the airport to pick my wife and luggage up. This is not a very good method. The rental staff were very good, very efficient. I left my camera in the car and only realised after I had flow out. Upon contacting them the next day they informed me that they had found it and would post it on to me. Hopefully I will get it back soon.

Dislike: The car wipers were in very bad condition, the car's washing liquid was completely empty. During car drop-off, there was no company representative to collect the car, so there was no way to be sure no extra cost could occur since they could not check the car condition. I have returned the car in the exact condition I have received it, but no one could verify that!

Very comfortable. When returning the car, just park it in the lot and hand the keys to the office staff. The deposit is reversed immediately.

I’ve got a Hertz profile for insurance requested, yet the counter staff confused the options without giving details. “Take excellent or good”, but no details of the packages. Several hundred dollars were added for fear I wasn’t covered properly

Considerable wait on collection of the car, which was in poor condition with stains on the inside. Mechanically sound, but cosmetically not very good. Also, central locking only worked off the key, not the fob.

Abbycar were fantastic, we rented 3 cars from them for our family holiday. The counter staff were friendly, professional and very helpful, even through all of our questions and changes to the contracts in terms of additional drivers and different drop offs.. Our cars were not new and had some small scratches but all was noted down and we had no problems at drop off, both pick up and drop off were a quick and smooth process. Their location is just outside of the airport 2 minutes walk to the left. Thank you Abbycar, especially the fantastic counter staff for a friendly, good and professional service.

Voiture non conforme à la réservation mais véhicule du même type ( fiat panda recu alors que le véhicule commande était une Toyota aigo) Lors de la récupération du véhicule le personnel voulait le vendre leur assurance et était très insistant à ce sujet malgré mon refus Quand j'ai retourne le véhicule ils avaient l'air déçus qu'il n'y ai aucune marque à me facturer

I was told on arrival that my card wasn't valid and I'd have to provide a €300 cash deposit along with a €180 admin charge. The car provided was not the one I ordered on the website but was a high mileage wreck with lots of scratches and dents. The air con didn't work and more worryingly the brake fluid light kept coming on. On returning the car the staff weren't interested in my complaints.

Good car. Could have been easier to find Caldera pickup at arrivals.

We specifically booked a “full to full” policy on the car to avoid all the usual scams but were given a “like for like” and, not surprisingly, it was almost empty. We were “helpfully” directed to the adjacent Shell station to fill up where they, not surprisingly, said that they only had the most expensive octane 100 fuel. We found out that this was also priced 20c/ltr above the norm. There is an EKO fuel station within 3km along the road away from the airport but this was, not surprisingly, not mentioned by the Caldera rep. As a result of this scam we paid rip-off prices for a grade of fuel we didn’t need and had to leave over half a tank of fuel in the car - neither of which would have happened if we had been given what we had booked.

Az autó jó állapotvan volt, kivéve az ablaktörlő lapátokat. Szeles időben, a tengerparton kellett volna használni, de annyira csíkozott, hogy csak benzinkutaknál tudtam takarítani a szélvédőt.

When I made reservation I reserve car VW Passat ESTATE or similar, because we are 5 persons and quite many luggages so we need space. What we get was maybe from next car group, but car space was small. There was quite big Work to get all luggages fit to given car. + we have babycarries also. So, im disapointed because car space was not what we expected!!!!

The pick up information its not clear enough.

Reviewed: Sep 7, 2019

I never booked with this company before, but I was impressed that they had a very efficient and fast service, without any waiting time. Of course, like all car rental companies, they are trying to sell you overpriced insurance and trying to convince you the total coverage you already have is usually useless - but that's part of that business all over the world, I guess. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with what I got - both as service and as a car, and will gladly book from them again.

Despite I'm sure I listed my flight number, no staff was in the terminal as my flight was delayed. We called them and they promised to pick us up in 10 minuttes. It took 45 minuttes and 3 phone calls. If they had told me that the office was just 500 meters away I had gladely walked to them.

Not impressed with Goldcar, their staff was not so interested in servicing the customers. Car was so so.

The computer systems didn't work, so we waited for a long time to pick up the car. The meeting point is hard to find, you need to wait in the sun. The tank wasn't full as in the contract specified. They advertise with a Nissan Qasqai but they gave me a Suzuki Vitara, even if two Nissan were free, they said they were "reserved". Probably because I didn't buy their insurance.

The credit card deposit was charged instead of only blocking. Now I have to pay the bill and so far the value have not been returned. I'm in contact with my bank to try to avoid paying the value. Besides that, the guy on the pickup was aggressively trying to push their insurance telling horror stories about how easily I could damage the car. This created an unnecessary bad experience.

They did not try to sell any extra insurance which was good, very friendly staff and no waiting around, They use drop off system that worked like clockwork, once we found the guy picking us up. The car was not brand new but was clean and everything worked. They were quite a small operation which helped re waiting time but not much choice of cars if that is important to you. Would use again.

The car was not what we had booked. Although a bigger model the car was not in good mechanical condition and struggled with the hills in Crete. When we collected the car it had almost no petrol and we had to find a petrol station within a couple of miles of the airport. This was not what we were expecting as we'd been told it was a full-to-full fuel policy.

All went smoothly and I was pleasantly surprised not to be harassed about excess insurance. Two issues though, directions to global’s office were very poor, and the car had rusty small dents on 3 of the 4 corners, plus a broken wing mirror. Neither the rep or I spotted the latter but fortunately I took photographs which seemed to prove a lifesaver. I got the impression that without that proof I would have been charged. I can’t help feel suspicious, why was the mirror not repaired and why did this damage not appear on the initial paperwork? How many customers have been charged for damage which has not been repaired?
