Larissa Car Hire

Like renting in the States

Pros: I was picked up at a hotel in just a few minutes by the friendly agent. He spoke English very well. The office was bright, clean and modern. While the doing the paperwork, another person went around my car with a cloth to do one more cleaning. The agent took a personal interest in my trip to Greece and we had some things in common about interests outside of work. He rode with me to fuel the vehicle and gave me good instructions on how to get onto the main highway. My charges ended up exactly like what I had been told they would be. Lastly the Nissan Micra was a much better rifding car than I expected. It's very small with a short wheel base, but it is well suited to the Greek highways (very good) and the smaller windy, less paved roads of the countryside.

Cons: Nothing about the rental, just that roadsigns in Greece are sparse. Just the basics off of the main highways, But, with Google maps, etc., I was fine. Had thought that I could use Sun position to help some, but it was cloudy and rainy the whole time. Other drivers were very courteous and I even saw most use direction signals. Wow!
