After trying a couple of other rental places, none are safe and feel as secure as Elephant. They also have the best/ newest quads, bikes and buggies we could see around the Faliraki area. This is also one of the only places we found which did 24 hour rental which is really handy.
Zia provided us with a map with all tourist attractions pin pointed where you could scan on your phone and it would automatically put it in to your google maps nav.
Me and my Partner hired a 450 quad for 2 days, which we used to travel to Rhodes old town and around all the beaches between Faliraki and Rhodes town. We also used Zia’s advice and went up to the 7 Springs in the mountains! The quad was brand new and had enough speed in it, it would do about 75kmh, which is plenty for the roads around there. The quad also has a back rest for the passenger which makes it so much safer for your partner to be on. And a BIG storage area on the back for helmets, bags etc.
Secondly we hired the big Polaris RZR1000 for a day, this is more expensive than the quad but 100% worth it. So much fun, power and noise from that 1000cc engine! And a proper head turner, everyone turned to look at it when we drove past. We used this to travel down to Lindos in, noisy but so much fun! It was one of them things you didnt want to get out of.
When we return to Rhodes, Elephant will be the only company I will use.
I would like to thank Zia and Konnos for excellent customer service, and making us feel safe when hiring as I am usually a bit skeptical with some companies abroad.

We made an email enquiry to elephant for a 520cc quad bike prior to our holiday and throughout the booking process the arrangements were clear and well communicated. When we arrived to collect the quad Exan knew who we were and greeted us personally, he then explained the highlights of this wonderful island of Rhodes, including restaurant recommendations all over the island – all of which we followed. The quad bike was more powerful than previous quad bikes we have rented so was able to get up the hills more easily, it was also a slightly longer quad which meant it was more comfortable for 2 people. We travelled 494km in 7 days and had no issues at all with the quad bike – it was great and very good value. Exan was very polite, friendly, helpful and very informative, so we highly recommend elephant @ Faliraki Avenue

Fantastic experience, we took the most expensive 4x4 €240 for 24 hours , but they have much other prices for people on a budget , we seen so much . They have 4 routes you qr code and follow or do you're own road trip. For me as a family it was cheaper to do everything in one day then do coach trips and boat trips …. The staff are amazing alex and charlie . Friendly , honest and trustworthy 👌🏻 once we returned we had a full deposit retured . You can pay cash or card

Elephant Rent A Moto are rip-off artists. When we showed up at their cruise port location, on October 11th 2021 for the car rental we made, (Type : CAR, Brand : Volkswagen Group : GROUP P Price : 85.00 €) they told me that I could not have a car because I didn't have an "international" driver's license (nothing in the Elephant rental confirmation document said it was needed). They then offered to help me get one for $300+ . On top of that, they would not refund me the $30 deposit (I have a claim in process with Mastercard). They said they called the manager and he said that they shouldn't refund the deposit.
I was furious and said that I would be writing a review on Facebook about this incident. .
We left and went next door to Port Rental where we were immediately provided with a VW bug for only 40 Euros (compared to the 85 Euros Elephant stated) and sent on our way. I told the Port Rental people what happened and they nodded, smiled and said : "they don't have a car to give you and they don't want to admit it".
I tried to post this warning/review sooner but they had shut down their Facebook page (temporarily?).

Dear Mr,
We are sorry your experience did not match your expectations and for any miscommunication caused. As you can see on all other reviews, we are known as a rental company caring deeply about our customers and all our services are provided into a frame of Clients' Safety and the Greek Rental Law.
Answering on the basic points of your negative review we would like to mention:
1) Till the 5th of November 2021, the Greek Rental Law did not permit the rental to drivers with a US, Canadian or Australian driving license unless it was presented together with an International Drivers Permit. The relevant issue of the Gazette (in Greek) is available to visit here:
Link: https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=4802719913095497&id=972572999443560&_rdr
So correctly the Elephant Rent a Moto assistants, did not provide you with the rental service because it was against the rental law and the insurance would also not be valid. If any other rental company provided you with a rental service, that does not mean it was legal.
2) It costs 29$ to get an International Driver’s Permit in digital Bundle not 300$.
Link: https://e-ita.org/international-drivers-license-apply-online/
3) The price of an Electric Golf (e-Golf) 2020 model (85€ per day, which is 30% cheaper than all the other rental companies pricelist in whole Greece) is not comparable with a VW Beetle 10 years old for the price of €40.
4) Our Electric Golf was totally available, waiting outside of our rental office according to your reservation. All of our bookings are connected to our availability and booking platform automatically.
5) Our Facebook page has never been shut down (even temporarily) from day one.
6) Elephant Rent a Moto did not keep your rental deposit but it has been fully refunded to your transaction card because we did not provide you with any rental services.
We apologize once more that our rental assistants could not convince or explain enough the whole facts of why we could not provide you with our services and left you with absolutely false impressions on which your review is based on and do not comply with the principles advocated by Elephant Rent a Moto.
For any other questions feel free to contact me at elephant.mng@xenakisautos.gr

Fantastic company. The bikes are all in brilliant condition and the staff are all really friendly welcoming and with great advice about where to go on the island.
We had a great time with a Yamaha Tenere and a Honda Rebel, we’re seriously considering booking the bikes back again!
It’s the best way of travelling on the the island, you get the best view, easiest to park, and if you cut across the middle of the island you get some stunning biking by roads

We hired 2 x Red automatic buggies with Exan who was very happy to help with our WhatsApp messages and calls. We were picked up on one as a free transfer from our hotel and our buggies were sat waiting for us when we got there. The paperwork only took 10 minutes and he spent time showing best places to visit. The buggies were clean and drove very well and we we dropped off the next morning and deposit was refunded within 5 minutes to our credit card and we were then taken back to the hotel. Absolutely amazing service and all with a smiley face from Exan

First of all, the vehicle was new, in a high quality, and It had a big cabin to store all our baggage (we took the powerful ATV). It was a great experience to ride on it through Rhodes. The staff was professional, very kind, and helped us with a lot of tips for our traveling - thanks for Chris and Exan! Great guys!

We enquired in quite a few places about the rental of a scooter or quad jus for a day or two. But the service we received here was brilliant. They were very professional and clear about everything which we found wasn’t the case in some of the other rental places. Also the only company that we came across that when you rent you have the vehicle for 24hrs. We rented a quad and it was a great choice. Brand new 2021 and in immaculate condition. Very comfortable, big and safe on the road for two people! Konnas in the faliraki office looked after us brilliantly! Would highly recommend.

We booked 3 buggies with this company, due to medical reasons we were unable to take on the rental. The business point blank refuses to give any kind of refund so kept our €360. I spoke with the Boss on the phone and he was extremely rude and obnoxious.
Another person arrived back with a vehicle whilst we were there and the staff went over the vehicle “finding” faults. The person was saying the marks were there when they took it but the staff just said unless you have video proof it doesn’t count, he only had photos and they denied it was the same vehicle.
They are obviously an outfit that rely on taking large deposits €500 and then doing everything they can to keep hold of it!

Fabricated reviews like this help our real customers see the honesty, values and dedication we have as a company.
As for the claims made in your review, we will disregard the false events you described and instead clarify what actually happened.
On the day of your rental and on the exact starting time, you came to our store to tell us that you no longer wanted the vehicles. We reminded you of our cancellation policy clearly states that you can only get a full refund if you cancel at least 48 hours before your reservation and which you had accepted.
At the time, you admitted that we followed the policy correctly and that we had done nothing wrong regarding your reservation. However, you tried to blackmail us into giving you a refund by threatening to post negative reviews.
We explained that we stick to our clear terms and conditions and cannot be blackmailed. As a result, we have referred this matter to our legal department, along with video evidence of the interaction, and will be pursuing further action due to your fraudulent behavior.

Hello, :-) we will stay at the Esperos Village Blue and would like to ask how we can come best to you to rent a scooter? Is there a bus station near by? Or do you maybe even bring the scooter to the hotel? Many thanks for your feedback! :-) Nicole
