The car was in good condition. The compact model is fuel-efficient and easy to park. Very satisfied.

Europcar doesn't have a rental counter at Athens airport. Staff holding signs at the exit guide you to the parking lot, where a shuttle bus takes you to the rental base. Due to a late arrival close to midnight, this process was quite troublesome.

There is a free shuttle service from the airport, and you can also return the car at the airport for an additional fee. It's very convenient.

The car was not the VW Polo that we booked but apparently in the same class (Suzuki Swift). The staff were helpful and courteous. The car was in shocking condition. We had booked an automatic but they showed reluctance to give us one and kept suggesting a manual. We think it was because of the poor condition of the automatic vehicle. Brakes were poor and the body condition terrible. The car was in shocking condition and had not been repaired after several collisions. Bits were barely hanging in place on front and rear. The website showed a pickup at airport but there was no Europcar presence at the airport. They had to come from the Port, so we had to ring them and then wait. Better information is needed.
