Overall service was pretty good, but the contract did not state that the fuel level at return must match the level at pickup. When we got the car, it only had two bars of fuel, not a full tank. This made it hard to gauge how much fuel to add when returning the car. We ended up having to pay an extra 15 Euros because the tank was slightly underfilled. Other companies operate on a full-to-full policy. I can't help but feel there's a bit of trickery involved.

The company representative was very friendly and professional. Unfortunately, we received a very old car, meaning it was full of scratches and technologically outdated — an Audi Q3 from 2019 without reverse sensors and without a rear camera. Additionally, some safety systems were non-functional, such as the lane-keeping assist, which was disabled. I’d like to remind you that it’s 2024, and I expect an international rental company like Avis to have modern vehicles, not ones that are 5 years old.

The contract added a fuel surcharge clause that was not in the QEEQ booking information. This was not noticed at the time as the credit card wasn't charged immediately. Reporting it later to QEEQ customer service solved nothing, it’s an outright unfair clause!

I strongly advise against using this company if you're in a hurry. They are the only ones without a desk at the airport. When I arrived, there were no staff at the airport, and I had to ask many people before finding out I needed to go to the parking lot to find a staff member. The store's phone was also unreachable. Then I saw a staff member talking to two customers, apparently about not being able to use debit cards or Amex. After a long wait, he finally spoke to me but didn't help with my luggage. The rental point was very far away, and there was only one staff member, so I had to wait a long time to get the car. Returning the car was even more exaggerated, with another long wait. The shuttle bus took a long time to arrive and was full, so I had to wait even longer. If you're in a hurry, avoid this company. Additionally, if you return the car at night, be extra cautious as the route to the return point is very desolate and scary.

I strongly recommend not choosing this rental company. This time I had a very bad experience! When I returned the car, they told me that there was a bit of sunscreen on the passenger seat. They lied to me, saying that it was covered by insurance, and asked for 144 euros. Fortunately, I was cautious and called the rental customer service. I was informed that the cleaning fee was not covered by insurance. If I paid it, it would be completely out of my pocket. I asked if I could clean it myself, and they agreed. I spent an hour cleaning the stain. It looked perfectly fine to me, but they used a phone flashlight, pressed against the seat, and claimed they could still see it, insisting I still owed 144 euros. I was speechless! It was never about the stain; they just wanted to make money. They wouldn't let me leave without paying! I truly witnessed the 'hospitality' of the Greek people! It's despicable! The condition after I cleaned it is in the picture; please ignore the water stains, they disappeared once dry. They even threatened me, saying if my cleaning wasn't good enough, I would have to pay more! What's more disgusting is that when I refused to pay because it was unreasonable, they threatened to call the police! Do they think they can bully Chinese people?

The overall service experience was terrible. The pickup location was very far away. After returning the car, they charged us over 200 euros: more than 100 euros for excess mileage, 40 euros for cleaning (even though we had cleaned the car ourselves), and 40 euros for airport parking. When we asked them to provide photos of the car's interior and the parking bill, they could not. They also claimed the airport parking fee was for a violation, but they couldn't provide any violation notice. So avoid renting a car from here; it's easy to get scammed.

Had to wait a long time to pick up the car, with no clear indication of where to pick it up. The car was very old, having run nearly 160,000 kilometers. After running for five days, the front bumper fell off due to old damage being aggravated by vibrations, even though there were no collision marks. We had to use duct tape to keep it in place and complete our trip. Reported the situation to the person receiving the car when returning it, but he didn't offer any solution, just took a photo and drove off. It's been two months without a response. When contacted, they sent a list of charges, including repair fees, over-limit mileage fees, and cleaning fees for the duct tape marks, totaling exactly my deposit. This is an appalling tactic! After repeated contacts from Zuzu Car, they refunded the over-limit mileage fee of 38 Euros but still charged the 99 Euro cleaning fee! Zuzu Car couldn't do anything more. This company, Modi, really tarnishes the image of Greece, leaving us deeply disappointed.

I waited for a long time when picking up the car and had no idea where to go. The car they gave me was very old, having run nearly 160,000 kilometers. After five days, the front bumper, which had pre-existing damage, came loose due to vibrations (without any collision marks). I had no choice but to tape it with packing tape to continue my journey. When returning the car, I reported the situation to the attendant, who just took a photo and drove off without telling me what would happen next. It's been two months with no response until I contacted them and received an invoice. The invoice included repair fees, excess mileage fees, and a cleaning fee for the packing tape marks, totaling exactly the amount of my deposit. This is extremely shady! After multiple contacts through the rental platform, they refunded the excess mileage fee of €38, but the so-called €99 cleaning fee remains unreturned. The rental platform was powerless to help. This company, Modi, has seriously tarnished the image of Greek hospitality, leaving us deeply disappointed in Greece.

If you don't buy their insurance, they treat you poorly!

The actual car was a Nissan Pulsar 1.2 CVT Energy Autom. Everything started smoothly, and the staff was very friendly. However, things went downhill when it came to recommending insurance! The rental staff were extremely persistent in trying to sell us insurance, saying that with 70 euros worth of insurance, we wouldn't have to worry about anything. They kept pushing us to reconsider. I thought we already bought full insurance on QEEQ, so there was no need to buy more. Plus, 70 euros is almost as much as the rental fee. Once they knew we weren't going to buy the insurance, their attitude changed immediately to being cold and indifferent. They even blocked over 1500 euros on our card! That's enough to buy a new car! We didn't think much of it at the time, took the keys, and went to inspect the car—assuming it would be fine. The rental staff reluctantly gave us the keys and told us to inspect the car ourselves, unwilling to accompany us (a stark contrast to Europcar). When I saw the car, I was shocked to see one of the tires was a spare! When I questioned the safety of using a spare tire, the rental staff became very impatient and dismissive, saying everything was fine. I had seen others rent cars with spare tires on Santorini, but they didn't drive on highways. I had to drive to Kalambaka and back, all on highways! In China, it's against traffic regulations to use a spare tire on the highway. Even though this is Greece, I had booked the car two months in advance; they shouldn't give me a car with a spare tire! I contacted QEEQ for help in mediating the situation. Their customer service was quite nice, but it was clear they had limited influence over the local rental company. Nevertheless, I appreciate their effort. Eventually, after much insistence from QEEQ and myself, they agreed to change the car. The replacement car was full of scratches and dents. Make sure to inspect such a car thoroughly, or you'll be charged for the damages when returning the car! Small scratches aside, I noticed a big scrape on the rear right side that wasn't documented, so I went back to report it. To my surprise, the staff completely ignored me and stormed out of the office! Fortunately, another staff member signed off on the scrape, acknowledging the damage. By the time we were finally ready to leave, an hour and a half had passed. Remember to avoid GoldCar and Rhodium! The insensitivity of the staff's attitude reset my baseline for poor service.
