Drive Hellas Arvostelua 

Low costs, great service. Would definitely recommend. They brought us back to the closest metro rather than the airport (standard) as an extra free service.

I was charged for €375 non existent scratches to the front bumper. There were already scratches on the bumper which Drive acknowledged I did not do. They said I did more scratches but there were no scratches by me. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.n9

One day before arrival my creditcard was blocked, because of a phishing message within Booking.com
After a phone call to Drive Hellas, i was promised that they would arrange something for me.
Gladly they lived up to their words.
I was able to rent an car and start my roundtrip through the mainland of Greece.
A big shoutout for the great assistance of Manos.

It is for me unclear why Drive Hellas only scores 2.1 on TrustPilot with just 123 reviews, while on Google Maps they are rated an excellent 4.7 out of 5 with 2500 reviews.

Sehr unkomplizierte Abwicklung, keine Kaution erforderlich, günstige Aufzahlung für Vollkasko.

Arnaque , les prix sont attractifs, puis une fois sur place,on vous fait le coup de :_"Votre MasterCard gold est une carte de débit, on ne la prend pas(alors qu'ils prennent l'empreinte et le paiement via la réservation internet) mais sur place,ça ne va pas ... Ils acceptent que les cartes de crédit.
Il y a des règles ici en Grèce, me sermonne la dame!
Enfin, il y a des règles dans le monde entier, ce n'est pas le problème !!
La carte où tu as été au 4 coins de la terre avec, où il y a jamais eu un souci, ici chez Drive Heraklion, il y'a un problème et je te le donne en mille, leur proposition est : soit on annule le contrat, soit tu prends leur assurance et par magie,il n'y a plus aucun problème ! Allez 140e en plus.
De suite, moins attractifs et plus drôle, elle veut que je paie avec ma carte !! Qui n'est pas une carte de crédit d'après elle. Je paie en espèces. Une fois, leur assurance prise, elle te dit "il y a plus de problème, vous pouvez même rayer la voiture, c'est ok, par contre les fards et les vitres c'est pas ok!"... Sérieusement, tout ça verbalement !
A ce moment là ,il est casi minuit et demi, tout est fermé autour donc tu fermes ta bouche, tu prends ce qu'on te propose en sachant pertinemment qu'on se moque de toi et tu sais que tu ne repasseras pas par Drive et qu'il faut prévenir Lastminute qui t'a proposé cette agence malhonnête sans scrupule.

Conclusion :évidemment ta petite location de voiture qui était plus que correcte financièrement, te coute, au final un bras, vraiment pas honnête, ils peuvent t'offrir des bouteilles d'eau, parler très bien français, toujours est-il qu'en France, on dit : Va te faire voir chez les grecs, en voilà le meilleur des aperçus.ça met dans l'ambiance.
Ah vous les aimez bien les touristes !!

We arrived at the airport late at night, nobody to greet us and no instructions on how to find the rental station. We asked at the Jet2 desk who pointed us in the right direction. Before flying we paid for the full insurance cover and when we arrived at the desk we were told we had to pay an 80 euro late collection and drop off fee. I said we would pay 40 and return the car within the opening times before our return flight. We then went through an extensive and tiresome “inspection” of the car in the dark, noting down numerous bumps, scratches and scrapes on the car. I had to take photos on my phone as proof. This was to document any pre-existing damage on the car. We ordered a fiat 500 but we were given a red panda, which had very limited acceleration power. We were also told by the assistant that they would block 980 euros on our credit card for any damage which we could later claim back from the insurance company ourselves, if any damage was found. We returned the car a lo and behold some new damage was found, which according to the assistant we could have driven over something or someone else damaged it. The damage was along the left plastic sill and (in their words) untold damage to the underneath of the car. The assistant then called some younger “mechanics” to drive the un-roadworthy car away to the garage and reassured us “despite the damage” he would charge just 360 euros on our credit card (out of the original 980 they blocked) All the dealings we had with the business they continued to press how we could recover the money via the insurance policy back in England. We didn’t take the car off road and the main roads in Crete are better than UK roads so we have no idea how this damage occurred and have no proof it was missed in the first inspection. We are now back in the UK and having to sort out claiming back for the cost of the damage and a credit card bill of over three hundred pounds. We booked this car and insurance via jet2 whilst booking the holiday and I’m extremely disappointed that a family travel company that promotes good value would use a company that leaves people significantly out of pocket.

Unseriöses Unternehmen. Sehr unfreundliche Mitarbeiter. Akzeptieren nur Kreditkarte und der Fahrer muss auch den gleichen Namen wie auf der Kreditkarte haben. Mit anderen Autovermietungen war das nie so.
Auch wurden uns 50 € mehr abgezogen, weil wir das Auto nicht in den Öffnungszeiten abgegeben haben, da unser Flug früh morgens war. Das schlimmste allerdings war, dass wir unsere Kaution in Höhe von 100 € nicht zurückbekommen haben, obwohl uns vor Ort gesagt wurde, dass dies 2-3 Werktage dauern wird, bis die Kaution auf unser Konto verbucht wird. Ich rate euch dringend ab von dieser unseriösen Autovermietung. Schaut euch vorher hier auf Trustpilot die Bewertungen der entsprechenden Autovermietungen an, so wie ich das zukünftig handhaben werden.

Hvad er begrundelsen for at man skal betale ekstra for at leje en bil hvis man er fyldt 70 år det virker som fup. Og diskrimination.

I am giving them one start only because they should inform to the customers about the parking rules in the city.
Were got to Thessaloniki after a long flights and went to pick up the car, the person explained some things but never mentioned about the parking in Thessaloniki. We found a parking close the apartment we rented and park there to the next day found a parking ticket on the windshield for €40.00 because we did not suppress to park where there is a blue line, how we could know that if the car rental doesn’t inform us about that rule? But that is not all, we went to pay the parking ticket and were had to pay not €40 but €80 because it was a rental car😡 that is totally unfair. We talk to the manager at the driver car rental to pay the half because they fail to mention the rules and he said that they will not refund us anything because we should know.
Please do not rent a car with them If you don’t want to get frustrated when you return the car back
We were not even asking to refund us the whole amount, we were asking for the half because it’s there fault for the lack of information

Blev mødt med et ekstra krav på 140 euro, til en ekstra forsikring, udover den vi allerede havde betalt.
Vi er glade for vi afviste det, især efter vi læste på Trust Pilot om alle de dårlige anmeldelser, da vi kom hjem.
Det var lige som vi oplevede det.
Fik hjælp til at få nogle af de indbetalte penge retur, gennem Booking.Com.
Lejede i stedet bil hos et anerkendt firma, der fungerede alt som det skulle.

I hired cars in my life probably more than 50 times, and many of rentals in Greece.
Drive car hire company in Preveza is definetely the worst one I ever experienced.
Completely lack of manners or just decency-not even one attempt of welcoming gesture, no smile.
Lady at the airport counter-very rude.
Took a long time to check in- not very intetested to mark any dents, scratches- best to carefully check the car - take pictures, record videos- otherwise when returning your car-they will try to find something.
Seen 2 guys returning cars- they been charged for some tiny scratches.
In my experience- I was charged 25 euros,because some small sand, tiny stones under carpet- I knew to clean a car before returning and did it.
Car har slippy clutch-and underpowered,did not accelerate- rang same day- answer was - you should have hire a bigger car- or just drive back to airport - we will have a look.
No offer to replace and deliver a car.
Greece is a such a lovely country- but Drive car hire is on the best way to ruin good memories from your holiday.
Stay away from this company.

My wife and I rented from Drive Hellas at Preveza Aktion Airport. The desk was right in the terminal, and the cars are located directly across the road from the terminal. Easy pick up and drop off process. We got the car we reserved. The agent at the desk offered us a cleaning package on the car, however, we chose to simply wash and vacuum the car ourselves for 3EUR (there are car wash points all over Lefkada, easy way to save money).

I cannot speak about the other locations, but at Preveza, nobody was pushy. Nobody was rude. Nobody tried to "find damage" and "scam" us. The staff were great.

As good as any rental agency. I would gladly rent from Drive again.

Check the reviews of this company before using their services. In our opinion, it’s just a scam. When we went to pick up the car, we found out that they don’t accept debit cards because they can't secure a deposit on them, BUT if we paid an extra €90, they would be able to secure the deposit on a debit card. They didn’t allow us to cancel the reservation, and in desperation, we wanted to pay the €90 just to get out of there, but 10 minutes later, they rented the car from our reservation to someone else, and there was no car left for us. So, we paid for the reservation, but the car was rented to someone else.

Très mauvaise experience, avec la desormais connue arnaque à la carte de débit. Depuis le temps que les clients sont insatisfaits, Drive ne peut être que coupable se ne pas changer ce mode de fonctionnement. On parle d experience client.... Ce sont ses voleurs, désagréables et qui prennent en otage en proposant soit de payer 250 euros de plus pour prendre l assurance complémentaire spit d annuler tout simplement la location alors que nous sommes dans leur locaux lugubres...

Bad service. Never go there

BAD EXPERIENCE! We rent a car in Lefkada. A white opel corsa. We arrived at night and they asked to check the car. We saw only to little damages but a few days later (cause it was night and on top there was a white painting) we notice another one. Even if I had the pitture of the morning alfer poving that the demage there was alrady there, they charged us 186 euro anyway!! Don't choose this company!!

The service is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful, the prices are reasonable, and the cars are excellent quality. Will definitely use them again.

Noleggiato auto contestualmente all'acquisto della biglietteria aerea. Atterro all'aeroporto di Preveza, di notte, in fare di consegna noto a malapena un graffio (davvero minimo) nella parte bassa del paraurti, chiedo venga annotato sul documento di consegna. L'addetta alla consegna sostiene, proprio per la sua esiguità, che non sia necessario. Mi fido, commetto un errore gravissimo.
Alla riconsegna, che avviene in pieno giorno, un impiegato mi fa notare il medesimo graffio.
Provo ad argomentare, spiegando l'antefatto, e lui infastidito con prepotenza rincara la dose e mi contesta la necessità di una pulizia extra per i sedili.
Con una cauzione su carta di credito di 930€, già precedentemente autorizzata, pur non concorde, subisco senza possibilità di replica l'estorsione della ragguardevole somma di 390€.
Scorretti e maleducati.
A leggere le altre recensioni mi sento in buona compagnia, pare proprio sia un atteggiamento sistematico e per tanto mi sento assolutamente di sconsigliare a chiunque di fruire dei loro "servizi" di noleggio.

Obligés de prendre une assurance complémentaire qui augmente de plus de 30% le cout de location car on a une carte de débit et pas une carte de crédit ????
Et en plus la voiture est sale

I can’t fault the service I received from the Thessoniki branch. The staff were helpful, polite and professional. The car was in very good condition, with less than 3500 miles on it.
We had to wait for about 15 minutes in the airport for a shuttle bus, but other than that the service was excellent.
