The only thing that could of been better would to have full for full fuel as guessing how much you have used, always means that you over fill the car beyond what you have used

It was great - once we figured out that Dollar is managed via Hertz at this airport. That info would have been useful in the confirmation email. But I asked a few nice people and we all figured it out. After that - pickup and drop off were simple and we had a great time.

The car was good and very clean. When picking up and dropping off the car, it took a few minutes for someone to arrive.

Pick up is fine and just as described. However, they told us that they open up at 7 AM when we went to drop our car off we arrived at 7:45 AM and the place was closed. No one showed up until 8:10. Although we made it to the airport to get our flight, it was stressful not knowing if we would get there in time. They are located a five minute shuttle drive from the airport, not walkable.

Collection at airport was ok but we had to wait for the collection person as they had misunderstood our arrival time. We also had quite an old Audi A3 which was in good condition but had quite an old CD player and radio setup and no mod cons. Comfy though and staff were helpful and efficient.

I did not get the car they did not have an automatic and I tried to cancel additional insurance coverage but never could do this on my phone so I wasted $90 plus car rental fee.

They were terrible. We dropped the car off at 6:30 am to leave Crete and they were not open. No written instruction was given as to how to drop off the car. They are also located .75 mile from the airport and they had no shuttle so I had to walk (run) on a busy road to the airport to catch my flight.
