CarQ at Athens Airport

Pros: Seamlessl process. New economic car

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I returned the car with a 10 cm long scratch on the lower side of the back door. I have photos to prove. CarQ charged me €600 (that is SIX HUNDRED EUROS) while I am certain they will have their insurance fix it for free or even just leave it as it is because you can hardly see it. What a rip-off!!!🤬😤

Pros: Very friendly and kind personnel. Quick pick up and drop off and they did not try to add additional costs or convince us to change our preferences compared to other car rental agencies. Highly recommended!

Cons: The car had a very strong scent of wunderbaum. I don't know if that's usual or if there was a reason, but definitely too much.

Pros: Everything was great

Cons: 75€ fee to use ferries

Pros: Very nice

Cons: A little un sure but in the end it was fine

Pros: Mostly fine accept on returning the car.

Cons: We received a car with over 51000 Km on the odometer. Their were extensive scratches on the roof and one side of the car. The tyres were not great. On returning the car they looked for minor marks and issues and made a huge issue of this. Pointing out minor marks on the back left side under the car and a minor indent at the bottom of the left door. They told me I should not get upset as I had insurance. They took my entire deposit, under duress and told me to deal with the insurers

Pros: It was slightly difficult to find the bus from the airport, but afterwards there were no problems. Car was spotless clean and almost brand new.

Cons: Although the car had only 10k km, the touch screen was broken and thus there was no android auto.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Cons: When they could take un extra 30 euros they did.

Pros: Pickup and delivery to the airport.

Pros: Staff

Cons: Windows needed to be cleaned.

Pros: Mechanically the car was in very bad state. The car didn’t start multiple times so we had to wait for a car mechanic to come and start the vehicle.

Pros: I am very happy with this company, great service and support.

Cons: All good, no complaint

Pros: Gyors volt rugalmas, korrekt, a foglalás ál lévő információk szerint történt az átvétel és a fizetés is.

Pros: Received an excellent car in great shape. Shuttle was very quick and effective. Pickup and return were fast and efficient

Pros: Picking up and dropping off the car was smooth and quick.

Pros: A powerless car

Cons: Front desk-not nice at all. Even a bit brutal. At biginning thay charge us 40 eur for late about one hour. When we return the car the woman in the front desk was very not nice

Pros: Easy to find, fast transfer from and to airport, kind and helpful. Got a free upgrade

Pros: I liked that i could ask a couple questions on the phone before we arrivered wich were answered in a friendly and helpfull way.

Pros: Price

Cons: Location some distance from airport requiring a shuttle. Some difficulty finding the location of the shuttle pick up & waiting for it to actually arrive and pick us up. Aggressive attitude of staff when checking car on return (looking for faults) as compared to the very lackadaisical approach on pick up (no interest in noting faults) buyer beware!

Cons: If your flight leave early in the morning you have to leave the car the night before even if you paid for the day after.

Pros: Great services, picking and leaving the car is going fast and well

Pros: The car was almost new ( less than 10.000 Km ) and in perfect condition inside and outside, the transfert was fast and the service was friendly and accurate .

Pros: Helpful. Prompt.

Cons: just a note on how t find outside terminal would make score perfect

Pros: Quick and easy

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I like how they examine the car, finding issues themselves at pick-up and then not picking on details at drop off.

Cons: Windscreen was dirty from the inside. From time to time it was a nuisance while driving against the sun. I don't appreciate tank being only half full too. You need to focus on finding gas station from the beginning.

Pros: Quick, curteous, and professional

Cons: Car brakes were not in a good condition.

Pros: Car attendants answered all my questions when picking up the car. Eventhough it wasn't the cleanest when we picked it up interior was clean and new. Fuel was also on the last quarter of the tank but attendant was reasonable saying we can return it in the same fuel level. Unfortunately we scratched the car during our trip but the drop off and paperwork was easy and the attendant that served us was very nice and patient.

Cons: State of the car when we picked it up wasn't the best and we had to quickly refuel before starting our Roadtrip BUT attendant was reasonable with how CarQ expect the car when returning so still a good experience.

Pros: Apparat of the shuttle service and the price, there’s nothing else to be happy with.

Pros: They are very quick, no waiting

Pros: We are very happy and very easy to get the car The people who working there very kind and respectful

Pros: They were overall efficient and polite; it didn't take too long.

Cons: The car was not in very good condition (scratches all over; the cover of the gear shift was broken so you could see down into the shifter; car was covered in some dust and solidified liquid; the tire pressure and air bag sensors were on the whole trip, despite no problem with the tire pressure); and when it came to returning it, it felt as if the agent was looking for things damaged so as to charge us.

Pros: Car Q made things so easy for us. They are professional and kind.

Pros: Brand new car, friendly staff

Pros: Friendly and Professional Service, Highly Recommended!

Cons: Nothing. All good!

Pros: Fast, reliable, easy.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Lots of hidden cost Poor communication

Pros: Basic process fast and efficient. I received the car at the offices of CarQ.

Cons: Big unreasonable increase in deposit and refundable amount. None of my credit cards had enough limit left at that moment to cover 750 euros instead of 290e and I had to use a debit card, resulting in withholding the amount for 30 days. I was misinformed that the 30 days start at rental start while they start at rental completion.

Cons: No windscreen fluid, just water

Pros: Just after landing - carQ called me by phone to appoint at the airport - never had that before

Pros: Low rental cost

Cons: Change in rental terms (deposit)

Pros: הכל היה קל ומהיר, היה שירות הסעות מהשדה ובחזרה בחינם,שידרגו לנו את הרכב והחזירו את הפיקדון יום לאחר סיום תקופת ההשכרה

Pros: Mary had a little lamb

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Transport aeroport à l'agence car Q.

Cons: Arnaque 100%: vieille voiture pleines de coups et de bosses et carQ pretend qu'ils étaient inexistants lors de la remise, donc carQ garde les cautions de 790€. Le patron est un voleur patenté !!!

Pros: Very friendly guys. There was a little delay when I picked up the car but not so much.

Cons: Car condition. The wheels wasn't balanced well and after 100 km/h I felt a vibration at the steering wheel.

Pros: Polite van drivers to and from airport.

Cons: Overall attitude. They overcharge me for a tiny scratch.. They are robbers and very cold behavior by the girl at the front desk! Never again! 😞

Pros: Excellent staff

Pros: Slick, Quick, Polite and Friendly

Pros: Good connection between price and quality of the product.

Cons: It is not professional to give a car to the client without the fuel’s tank to be full. I received the with 2/8 of gasoline in the fuel tank and I was able to drive only 190km before the first refuelling.

Pros: They are very efficient, prompt and value for money

Cons: Trivial things such as the clock wasn't set so just kept flashing a wrong time, Couldn't be bothered to try to find out how to change it. Also got a tyre pressure warning within 10 miles of leaving the office, garage advised there was no issue with tyre pressure, but again had the warning light for the duration of the rental.

Pros: Great service.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Terrible service

Cons: Staff was unprofessional.

Cons: Could not find shuttle parking at Athens Airport. Needs better signage. Very frustrating after long flight.

Pros: Excellent price. Call from the agent on arrival at Athens airport with clear instructions where to meet the minibus Friendly staff at the rental office. Car was ready and waiting for us

Cons: Rental office is not on airport but the good price definitely outways this.

Pros: The airport transfer back to the airport was good, clean and effective.

Cons: Everything it was an awful customer experience, when I questioned the €750 charge on the contract, it was met with an abrupt ‘do you want the car or not!’ I was then told my attitude was wrong as I had the audacity to question politely what the charge was for! The car was truly awful, had clearly been involved in a previous accident, had zero power, bad clutch and was not in my opinion road worthy, I wish I had declined the car!

Cons: My first sighting of a Fiat Panda - and I knew it was too small. I sought help, wanted to trade up, and felt stonewalled: The kid working with me went in, told the manager, came out and told me they couldn’t help me. When I looked back into the store, the “manager” had disappeared. Your managers need to talk, even if they know they can’t help. I’m Greek. It’s not a cultural thing. It was just poor business.

Cons: The driver did not wait for us at the airport. We had to call him and ask him to come. We had to wait 45 minutes at the arpirt

Pros: My rented car wasn't there when I came to pick it up. (not there's fauld) they gave me an another car and when the car (that I order) came a couple of hours later, they brought it directly to my hotel in Athens.

Cons: My car wasn't ready. (But not there's fauld).

Cons: /

Pros: The drop off was absolutely wonderful, and the agent could not have been kinder and helpful.

Cons: The car had quite a few scratches and marks so it was a bit stressful to go over the car as we picked it up.

Pros: No problem. Helpful. The first baby seat we got was broken and the second one (a much better one) came out wet after a bit of hesitation (we think they just washed it). Apart from that all good, efficient and clear. We returned the car two hours late but did not have to pay anything extra. Highly recommended.

Pros: Very efficient agents

Cons: The usb was broken so no option to charge the phone.

Pros: Overall a very good experience.

Cons: The product used to clean the car was very oily and didn't dry out. Instructions to reach the shuttles could be more clear.

Pros: How quick and efficient the agent was at the desk and professional also!!

Pros: Très bien. A l'heure à venir nous chercher à l'aéroport d'Athènes

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Provided car seats that were not compatible with vehicle. Refused to help in any way and also refused to give a refund for the seats. Ended up having to drive to a children’s store and buy brand new car seats which cost me an extra $500.

Pros: Vi likte bilens tilstand.

Cons: For å levere inn bilen tilbake hadde vi avtale som de ikke har holdt. Vi har ventet en halv time og til slutt måtte vi reise til flyplassen siden vi kunne miste flyet. Vi ringte dere kl.7 da dere åpner butikken og en av dere sa at "dere har glemt oss". GLEMT OSS ?? Hvordan er det mulig å glemme sine kunder. Dette er uakseptabelt.

Pros: Selection and the quality of cars available and the driver that picked us up was friendly and helpful but thats where it ends as to what I liked about CarQ in Athens.

Cons: These people are dodgy. You need to take photos of the phone car and I mean everything. We started to take photos and then had the manager yell and started getting aggressive and then told us we are notvtobtake the car. After speaking to him and explaining that his assistant told us if we had stone chips we would have to pay for it that is why we are making sure we are taking photos and his assistant was making notes of existing scratches, dints etc he agreed to us taking the car. Upon return an

Cons: LIKED IT ALL

Pros: They were very courteous and helpful. If I had any questions they would answer it. I was supposed to drop the car off at 1pm but was delayed because of re routing of the highway and they were very accommodating to that.

Pros: Easy check in.

Cons: Lack of detail and instruction on airport arrival. Also only one bus to shuttle to airport. Took 40 minutes to hand back car and to get into transfer bus. Luckily had enough time.

Cons: Confusion on how to get to the shuttle.. not knowing where the pickup spot is. Found out after calling the number on my confirmation.

Pros: Price, Condition of car

Pros: Efficient service, good attitude

Cons: It took some time finding the representative

Pros: CarQ is the best car hire company. The lady who helps us at their branch near the airport is amazing , clever, helpful, brilliant

Cons: The car was clean like no one ever used it . The service was super fast and great. We take our car in 2 minutes and the drop off took 2 minutes also Best car company

Pros: Fast diviner good value

Cons: Breaks a bit ‘squeaky’

Pros: Fast and efficient

Cons: Not so easy to find the shuttle at airport. Car model not as mentioned in the short description but similar class. I doubt that they have the suggested brand in their fleet....but overall the car was OK!

Pros: Initially, experience was positive. The location is far from the airport but they picked me up. The desk person was polite. Gas level was at 1/8 and gas station and not many gas stations nearby so that was bit concerning but it happens. Assistant surveyed the car (almost new, just under 1,000km) while I tried to get an eSIM & internet. I took a quick look and left.

Cons: Return, different experience! Staff who checked me out was rude when I walked in. Realized later- she's the "bully". She found "a scratch" in the middle of the lowest part of FRNT bumper, almost underbelly. It wasn't mine but didn't look there, so I was screwed. She charged 163 euros (found out it'd cost less than 40 to fix, which of course they WON'T DO). Car rental was cheap but with the "extra cost" the price was same to AVIS, BUDGET. That's how they make their money. It's basically a scam!!

Cons: The car brakes made a noise, which created me fear about my security

Cons: the waiting at the airport for the pickup was a bit long. 25 min. However easily reachable by phone

Pros: They were efficient

Cons: The pick up at the airport could have been better organised

Pros: They were fast and called us when we landed. They also had a shuttle bus ready for us at the airport on pick up and took us back on drop off.

Cons: The car we had developed an AC fault on the second day. We called CarQ and they suggested we drive back for a replacement. Unfortunately we were several hours away from Athens so it would have taken up too much time from our holiday. We then asked for compensation but they have so far refused.

Pros: Professional efficient staff

Pros: Nothing. No car, out 140.00. None of the phone numbers for the local rental were in service. Horrible experience

Cons: Never spoke to anyone there, only Bookings reps, through e- mail, which was useless without wi fi

Pros: Everything went very smooth! I’ve always used car rental companies outside the airport and never had a problem. Not sure why so many complaints are online. They are always more affordable due to the lower overhead expenses of those in the terminals.

Cons: Just that they asked for an international drivers license which is not needed anymore as of two years ago. But we sorted it out at the counter.

Pros: Vicky on the desk at the office was a great person to deal with, very polite and helpful and had a lovely smile. She should be the manager there...!

Pros: Collected us and returned us to the airport

Pros: Perfect service

Cons: Just perfect

Pros: Very good services, careful drivers, quick and problemless check-in and check-out.

Pros: Maybe the quick pick-up and the drop-off.

Cons: I book C3 but I got an i20 with basic functionality: no cruise control, a non-operating USB charger, an unserviced car (the meter showed that the car was over the service period), and old and bad condition 4-season (bad in summer and bad in winter) tires. I booked the car with a full-to-full policy and they applied the same-to-same policy!

Pros: The service was good.

Cons: We ordered a KIA SEED and we got a FIAT

Pros: Very good service from all the employees

Cons: We had trouble finding the van at the airport, but we were really tired after an overnight flight.

Pros: Nice office with modern and clean cars.

Cons: Despite doing the online checkin, it still took some time to gather all the information.

Pros: Quick check in and check out, clean car, decent price

Cons: I would appreciate if someone would have shown me the car (i.e. what features it has and hasn't)

Pros: Everything was excellent
