点评:⭐️ 1 STAR — Extremely disappointing experience
I strongly recommend avoiding this company.
I rented a car in Greece for a week. On the final day, the vehicle broke down approximately two and a half hours from the airport, while my flight was due to leave in only about 2 hours and 30 minutes. This put me under enormous pressure and created a genuine risk of missing my flight.
The way the situation was handled was extremely frustrating. Instead of having a quick and straightforward solution, valuable time was spent arranging what to do next. I eventually received a replacement vehicle, but I arrived at the airport with almost no time to spare and genuinely feared missing my flight.
The company later stated that they had immediately arranged a taxi to take me to a service point to collect the replacement vehicle. I acknowledge that transportation and a replacement vehicle were eventually arranged. However, from my perspective, the process took valuable time during an emergency when I was already dangerously close to my flight departure.
They also refused to reimburse the taxi, stating that there were alleged fuel shortages on both vehicles. I completely dispute this allegation. I have messages and other evidence supporting my version of events.
The most serious issue is that the company subsequently claimed that the clutch failure was caused by “improper clutch use.” I completely reject this allegation. I drove the vehicle normally and responsibly throughout the rental period, and I was never informed of any improper driving before the breakdown.
They say that an authorised dealership attributed the failure to improper clutch use. However, no independent technical evidence demonstrating that I caused the failure through improper driving has been provided to me.
After the breakdown, I opened the bonnet and checked the vehicle. I have photographs documenting an extremely low/absent engine oil level, which I will include with this review.
I am not claiming that a photograph of the oil level alone proves exactly what caused the clutch failure. However, finding a rental vehicle in this condition raises serious and legitimate questions about its maintenance. Their statement that the vehicle undergoes the required inspections does not, by itself, answer those concerns.
They also claimed that I caused damage to the right-hand side of the rear bumper. I completely dispute that I caused this damage. They say their before-and-after photographs prove it, but the existence of a charge or a record made by the rental company does not automatically prove that I personally caused the damage.
I also dispute their claim that I returned the vehicles with less fuel than required. I have evidence and messages that contradict their version of events.
The company says that these charges were based on documented discrepancies rather than arbitrary allegations. I understand that they have their own photographs and rental records, but I have evidence supporting my side as well, and I believe customers should be able to see both sides before deciding who they believe.
One thing I do acknowledge is that they did not charge me for the clutch repair itself. However, that does not change my experience of the breakdown, the time pressure, the disputed taxi expense, or the subsequent damage and fuel claims.
Overall, this was an extremely stressful and disappointing experience: a vehicle suffered a mechanical failure far from the airport immediately before my flight, I was placed under severe time pressure, and I subsequently had to deal with disputed charges and allegations that I strongly contest.
My experience also left me with the impression that car rental companies can sometimes focus more on additional charges and protecting themselves than on properly assisting customers when something goes wrong.
I strongly recommend that anyone considering renting from this company carefully document the condition of the vehicle, fuel level and everything else at both pickup and return, including photographs and timestamps.
I stand by my original review. I will also provide the photographs and evidence I have so that potential customers can make their own informed judgment.
Would not rent from this company again.
翻译:⭐️ 1星——极其令人失望的体验
我强烈建议大家不要选择这家公司。
我在希腊租了一辆汽车,租期为一周。最后一天,车辆在距离机场约两个半小时车程的地方抛锚了,而我的航班再过2小时30分钟就要起飞了。这给我带来了巨大的压力,也让我极有可能错过航班。
事情的处理方式也让人极其沮丧。他们未能提供快速且简易的解决方案。我花了大量宝贵的时间来安排接下来的行动。最终我得到了一辆替代车辆,但我抵达机场时几乎没剩下什么时间了,真的担心会误了航班。
该公司后来称,他们立即安排了出租车送我到服务点去取替代车辆。我承认,他们最终确实安排了交通工具和替代车辆。不过,从我的角度来看。在紧急情况下,这一处理过程浪费了我宝贵的时间——当时我的航班即将起飞,时间极其紧张。
他们还拒绝报销出租车费用,声称两辆车都出现了所谓的燃油短缺情况。我完全不认同这一说法。我有短信及其他证据可以证明我所陈述的事实。
最严重的问题是,该公司后来声称离合器故障是“操作不当”导致的。我坚决否认这一说法。在整个租赁期间,我始终以正常且负责任的方式驾驶车辆,在车辆发生故障前也从未收到过任何关于我驾驶不当的告知。
据称,授权经销商将故障原因归咎于离合器使用不当。然而,至今没有任何独立的技术证据能证明是我因驾驶不当导致了故障。
故障发生后,我打开引擎盖对车辆进行了检查。我有照片可以证明发动机的机油量极少甚至几乎没有,这些照片我会附在这篇评测中。
我并不认为单凭一张机油量的照片就能确切说明离合器故障的原因。不过,看到一辆处于这种状态的租赁车辆,确实会让人对它的维护情况产生严重且合理的质疑。虽然他们声称车辆接受了必要的检查,但这一点本身并不能打消这些疑虑。他们还声称是我导致了后保险杠右侧的损坏。我坚决否认自己造成了这种损坏。他们称其拍摄的前后对比照片可以证明这一点,但租车公司开具的收费单据或记录并不能直接证明就是我个人造成了损坏。
我也对他们的说法表示质疑——即我归还车辆时油箱里的燃油量不足。我有相关证据和聊天记录可以反驳他们的说法。该公司表示,这些收费是基于有记录可查的偏差情况,而非毫无根据的指控。我明白他们有自己拍摄的照片和租赁记录,但我也有能证明自己立场的证据。我认为顾客在决定相信哪一方之前,理应能够了解双方的陈述。
有一点我承认:他们并没有就离合器修理本身向我收费。不过,这并不能改变我当时所经历的故障情况以及紧迫的时间压力。存在争议的出租车费用,以及随后出现的车辆损坏和燃油费索赔。
总的来说,这是一次极其令人焦虑且失望的经历:就在我航班起飞前,一辆车在离机场很远的地方出现了机械故障;我面临着极大的时间压力,之后又不得不处理那些存在争议的收费项目以及我坚决不予认可的种种指控。我的经历也让我觉得:当出现问题时,租车公司有时更关注收取额外费用以及维护自身利益,而非切实帮助客户。
我强烈建议任何打算从该公司租车的人,在取车和还车时都仔细记录车辆状况、燃油量及其他各项细节,最好再拍下照片并记下时间戳。
我坚持自己最初的评价。我还会提供自己所拥有的照片和证据,以便潜在客户能够做出明智的判断。
我不会再从这个公司租房了。
