Hi but are you sure the other car rental is quoting for everything, its unlikely that there will be a huge difference with any of the car rentals, so its more likely that there will be costs which are perhaps not so transparent. I have been caught out like this in the past. You think you are saving but discover when you get there to sign up that there are "extra's."

I used to look at every rental car business, renting from Dimitris has definitely been the best experience. And I have spoken to other people who have rented from elsewhere they don't appear to have got such a good all round service.

Totally agree Frances, renting from Dimitis is like doing business with one of the family, always great price & cars and nothing to much trouble even if your plan is coming in 5 hours late he will be there for you.

Recently contacted him about renting and after exchanging a few emails working out details etc. I expressed some reservations about driving some distance at night after a flight arriving in the middle of Easter.

Now we are invited to stay at Dimitris house the first night and head off in the morning. Such kindness is the spirit of Easter and customer care...

Absolutely recommend Dimitris/AutoRentals Crete. Just completed a 4 day rental, car and service were excellent. No drama pick-up and drop off. Dimitris met us at the port at 6 am and showed us to a great place for breakfast. We dropped the car off at the parking lot at the airport before our 6:50 am flight. Great experience!

Everybody seems to be recommending Dimitris but his prices seem to be expensive when compared to Economy Car hire am I missing something ?

I think you might be.

When it comes to what you are quoted, and what you actually get for the price, and what 'Extra's' you may be asked to pay, and what you may have to pay if you cause any form of damage to the car can make a big difference from one company to another. Some are more honest than others and some can be trusted more than others

The Detail is in the fine print.

Bur Economy car hire has no excess, second driver free of charge and a fair fuel policy Dimitris charges for 2nd driver , what is his fuel policy ?

I have done business with Dimitris for many many years and his policy on fuel has always been 'Bring it back with the same amount that was in it when you took it away. Sometimes it has been possibly slightly less, sometimes maybe slightly more but we have never quibbled over a few Lts. Same with adding drivers.

Doing business with Dimitris is like doing business with a member of the family, we trust each other. I know that he is even putting a client up in his own home for the night this year because Dimitris was worried he would be to tired to drive after a long flight. Give me the name of a company that gives this type of service and I will use them.

Just check you are looking at the right site http://autorentals-crete.gr/ There are others similar and easy to get the wrong one.

In my investigations, Dimitris gave prices at least as good as anyone, and usually better, and then you get the reputation and friendly service too......

The site mentions Eu 20 day and free second driver...

I do not understand. Economy car hire is charging 36 Euros more than Dimitris for the same period.

How is this cheaper?

Autorentals Crete also offers second driver free too. We shop around all the car hire places each year and for new cars he cannot be bettered. May save a few Euros by using another car hire that offers previously loved cars :-).

Use whoever you are happy with, it is not a contest.
