I've used them a couple of times and they've not been bad but there can be a long wait. Also they are off airport. Their cars are generally OK but they are hand downs from their parent company Europcar. The last time we used them we ended up paying for a damaged tyre which I noticed on arriving at the villa. It had obviously been there when we picked the car up but we hadn't seen it. On another occasion the car allocated to us had no spare wheel so we were given an alternate car.

I wouldn't steer you away from them but be prepared for a possible wait and thoroughly inspect the vehicle before you leave.

Good luck.

Auto Rent are a first class company that have up to date cars on their fleet and are based in car park 4. We have used them for the past couple of years and never had a bad car in all that time, which must be 10 rentals.
