Absolutely terrible experience
Absolutely terrible experience – not recommended
We had no particular problems when we arrived: the car was handed over to us quickly and the pick-up process was straightforward.
The problems started when we returned the car. They noticed a small dent on the vehicle and, without carrying out any proper assessment of the damage, immediately told us that we had to pay €200. We were not provided with any estimate, repair quote, or explanation to justify this amount. When we questioned the price, we were simply told that €200 was a “special price”. This made the situation even more frustrating, as there was still no explanation of the actual cost of repairing the damage or how the €200 amount had been calculated.
The situation became even more concerning when they took our credit card and photographed both sides of it. We explicitly asked them to delete the photographs, but our request was not respected.
We found this behaviour extremely unprofessional and it left us with a very negative impression. I understand that any damage to a rental car may need to be reported and, where appropriate, charged to the customer. However, there should be transparency regarding the assessment of the damage and the amount being charged, rather than simply presenting the customer with an arbitrary “special price”. There should also be respect for the customer’s privacy and explicit requests.
For us, this was a very disappointing experience. We will definitely not rent from Rent Car Kefalonia again and cannot recommend them.
