We had Fiat Panda for two days, the car was even better than we expected! Under 100k km driven clean car, everything working great 👌🏻 We visited all the destinations we wanted and were super happy with the car. Service was friendly, picking car up was easy and return was even easier. Also the price was relatively cheap for this car. We were offered also possibility to park the car overnight because our hotel nearby did not have parking, that was a nice bonus! Thank you!

Maria in Sisi was excellent. Very helpful and informative. Maria advised where to go on our glass bottom boat trip which we enjoyed very much. She also explained where to go on the map when we hired the minibus for the day. Maria was friendly, polite and very good at her job without being pushy. Thank you for making our holiday in Crete so nice.
