Schrottauto bei Avance Car Autovermietung
Wir hatten bei Avance Car Tinos einen VW Polo gebucht. Der Polo, den wir erhielten, hatte 120.000 km auf dem Tacho, die Handbremse funktionierte nicht und die Höhenverstellung des Fahrersitzes war kaputt. Nachdem wir fast einen Unfall gebaut hätten, da der Wagen zu schwach war, um eine steile Straße hinaufzufahren, reklamierten wir das Auto. Prompt wurde der nahezu schrottreife VW Polo gegen einen Renault Clio mit nur 18.000 gefahrenen Kilometern getauscht. Allerdings war das Auto ringsherum verkratzt, verbeult und sah sehr mitgenommen aus. Im Vergleich zu den Autos der anderen Vermietern am Ort hatten wir sicherlich das schäbigste Auto von allen. Alles in allem das schlechteste Auto-Mietverhältnis, das wir in all unseren Urlauben gemacht haben. Diese Autovermietung können wir absolut nicht empfehlen!

Had a great experience with Avance in Paros & Naxos. Both cars were clean and reliable, especially the car in Paros which was an upgrade at no extra cost. No issues on returning either car, including the rep meeting us at Naxos airport at 7am. Would recommend.

Hidden cost on so called bio cleaning for the interior.
Google and Truspilot mentioned about the hidden costs and it was correct.
Hidden costs:
There have been complaints about unexpected charges, such as for "bio cleaning" for salt on the seats.
Please be careful everyone.
It costs more than car rental itself (twice the price of per day rental fees) unfortunately. It was not specifically mentioned during the pick up and was not in the report. Since car has many damages externally, didn't pay attention to the interiors. Only realised about the surprised unforseen charges incurred when dropped the car off. It was indeed an unpleasant and bad experience. The lesson learned with huge cost.

Don't use it!!!
We used the office at Tinos island. They insisted on buying extra insurance but it was overpriced and we didn't buy it. Then when we returned the car they charges us €242 from a scratch that it was barery visible to the eye and to the photo. The employee admited to our face that the will not fix the scratche because it is high season and they can't afford to have the car at service. Then why do the charge us for something the won't fix???? Scammers!!! Don't use it

the worst company to rent a car in Paros. rude staff. we paid for the insurance and they tried to make us pay more because there was salt in the seats (ironic since it's an island and people go to the beach). they wanted to make us pay for a "bio cleaning". the blonde woman is super rude. she yelled at me

Be very careful
Be very careful. They are scammers!! Do not book any car!!!
I booked a car through Car Rental with full insurance. The employee at Avance told us we didn’t have full insurance but some kind of “double city” and asked us to pay €84 for full coverage. Never again, scammers. Terrible experience, do not go there.

Awful experience
Awful experience . We were given a van with empty battery. As soon as we arrived at our destination the car was dead. We spent a whole weekend on phone calls, waiting services and trying to resolve an issue that shouldn’t happen in the first place. Rude stuff , no compensation.
In response to your comment:
Dear Marketing Manager,
Your response is honestly embarrassing, and I seriously wonder how someone with this attitude holds that position. A 10% discount on our NEXT rental for a weekend completely ruined for six people? That’s what you call compensation?
Also, a dead battery is not a “random incident” — especially when it keeps coming up in recent reviews. Clearly, this isn’t just bad luck. Is it normal for your customers to waste their vacation time dealing with maintenance issues? Because that’s exactly what happened.
And then you mention “aggressive attitude” just because we left a bad review? Maybe you should first look into your own team’s behavior — rude, sarcastic, and completely unhelpful over the phone, while sitting under their AC, as we waited for hours in the middle of nowhere. Shameful, really.

A wonderful trip to Greece but underhanded tactics are everywhere…
A wonderful trip to Greece for a wedding, ruined by what is feeling like an attempted scam attempt on car drop off.
On Thursday 5 June we picked up a 7 seater Dacia Jogger.
The check-out desk is within the airport, just outside departures. There is then a shuttle (2 minute journey) that takes you to the car. The shuttle for us arrived promptly; no issues so far.
On checking out the car, it was provided with just under half a tank of fuel, and a crack 4-5 cm long coming up from the bottom of the windscreen. We noted this to the agent, who was taking a full set of photos and videos.
So far all good, and the windscreen crack was discussed and we were told noted on the iPad. We watched the agent take photos + videos etc.
This is a great process as it protects both parties.
It must be noted that this type of crack in a windscreen in the UK would fail a MOT (Roadworthiness assessment). We assumed this must simply be a nuance of Greece that this is acceptable.
The car performed well for the duration of the trip.
On returning the vehicle, the agent who identified himself a John begun to inspect the car thoroughly. John remarked upon the crack in the windscreen and that this was our damage.
We said it was like that when we got it and we were not worried; he could simply consult the photos and video the checkout agent made.
He spent a long time with another agent in the office going through photos. This period of time seemed to be ongoing with circular discussion in Greek which we did not understand.
Bear in mind, at this point, we are waiting to leave to catch a flight, and we have a 2 month old waiting in the van with his mother.
During this process, it felt like the agents, noting our situation, are making us wait to see if we will simply accept whatever they dictate.
When I asked them for an update, they asked if I had photos. Why would I need photos if you have a video and photos check out process? Again I tell them to look at their own photos…
Following another prompt for an update, the conversation begun to escalate after I pointed out that “if Avance did not provide cars with cracked windscreens, then this situation would be avoided”. This resulted an a rather aggressive response from the agent in the office who stated if he gave brand new cars, they would still come back damaged...
After some more time, they told us verbally that we would not be charged and asked us to sign an iPad. The iPad was zoomed in and we could not see what was signed. We were not given any paper receipt nor have any emails of checkout been received.
It must also be noted, that this type of damage is not caused from driving into something or not caring sufficiently when looking after the car. The crack is on the lower edge of the windscreen, and will continue to grow. If we had caused it, for example by a rock hitting the windscreen during driving, there would be an impact nuclei.
Most importantly, allow me to restate, the crack was there on checkout, and the checkout agent was informed, agreed, and appeared to note it on their iPad.
I fear for the next client of Avance to use this vehicle.
At this point we are fully expecting to need to challenge this with our card issuer.
I do not know whether Avance is a franchise, but if it is, I would encourage head office to inspect this office, and ensure the office is following the process dictated by the franchise.
We chose a more expensive franchise, paying nearly £400 for a 7 seater for 5 days, with the intention of avoiding cowboys and scammers, and companies who have to cheat to succeed.
TLDR: Avance rented a 7 seater with a cracked windscreen on checkout. It remains to be seen whether the card hold will be released.
This review will be updated when an outcome is finalised. It has not been a pleasant experience.

Negative Review of AVANCE Car Rental
Negative Review of AVANCE Car Rental
I am writing this review to warn other travelers about an extremely negative rental experience with AVANCE Car Rental at their Kefalonia, Greece branch.
I was outrageously charged €2000 for a "scratch" on the bumper. I must emphasize that this was such a minor scratch that it was virtually impossible to see with the naked eye and even in the photographs taken at the location – it was only visible under significant magnification.
I am convinced that the scratch was already present before I received the car. The fact that it was not visible from the outset strongly supports this claim.
Furthermore, the car return process was unnecessarily long and tedious. The company representative delayed me for approximately 40 minutes, which almost caused me to miss my flight.
I consider this behavior to be a clear demonstration of bad faith and an attempt to extort money from customers. I strongly recommend avoiding this car rental company and choosing an alternative.

Uralt Fahrzeug mit 120000 km und Mängeln
Wir erhielten in Heraklion einen uralten Fiat 500x mit 120000 km. Als in Chania die Kontrolleuchten " Motor kontrollieren lassen " aufleuchteten, verweigerte man uns dort den Tausch des Fahrzeuges. Wir mussten 140 km zurück nach Heraklion fahren, um auf einen Fahrzeugtausch zu bestehen. Dabei wollte man uns noch Kratzer am Spoiler des Uraltfahrzeuges in Rechnung stellen. Wir sollten einfach weiter fahren und die Kontrolleuchten mißachten.
Als wir auf einen Fahrzeugwechsel bestanden, bekamen wir einen Peugeot 301, ein Modell dessen Bau im Jahr 2009 eingestellt wurde.
Finger weg, es gibt genug Alternativen.

The car i rented was scratched in most places, almost 60.000km, dirty inside out and their response after i sent a complain was just an attempt to justify their bad service instead of just an apology.
Have been using this company for many years and before this I was happy.
Most Probably this was the last time

Vehicule sale
Véhicule récupéré à Chania en Crète.
La voiture sentait mauvais, et était sale. Siege déchiré, et équipement cassé. C'est honteux de louer des voitures dans cet état.

Thessaloniki airport rent
Rented a car from Thessaloniki airport, we arrived and left outside of businesshours. They always called us infront and checked if everything is in schedule. Communication and paperwork was quick, smooth and clear. Very polite and professional personel. On our second day car had electrical failure and they quickly found us replacement car. Both cars were nice and clean. On our leavingnight gentleman on the dropoff desk drove us to the airport door with our luggage, definately a nice touch! Very good and friendly experience overall. Thank you.

Safety concern
This company encourages customers to use their Avance Online Check – In which they say is "extremely easy to use". We tried it and spent approx 50 minutes trying to upload image files of our passports and driving licences. There is no guidance regarding the types and sizes of image files accepted. We eventually worked out that they have to be very small pdf's. Eventually we managed to upload the files and then their system threw up a "System error" which their employee who tried to help us online said she could not resolve.
So we arrived at Kalamata airport without having checked in with Avance. They have no office there, so everything had to be done via phones and tablets in the car park. To be fair, their employee who met us did his best. Make sure you have access to your emails on your phone ! We could not read on a small screen the small print on the contract they emailed us. The car had multiple dents and scatches all round which took us a long time to photograph and video. On the last day of our 3 week booking, one of the wheel trims (hub caps) fell off while driving on a mountain road and disappeared down the mountain. On inspection, we noticed that the wheel from which the trim had fallen was dented. On checking the video we had taken when collecting the car, we saw that this dent was visible. The same day, I called the Avance office in Kalamata to notify them that this had happened. Their response was that because we had "lost" the trim, we had to pay for 4 new wheel trims. I tried to explain that I believed that the trim had fallen off because it had been fitted on to a damaged wheel. They refused to discuss this and kept repeating aggressively "You lost it, you pay!". Next day at the airport, we paid for a replacement wheel trim rather than miss our flight through trying to discuss the problem further. They even charged us a further 6 Euros "labour" to fit a new trim onto a damaged wheel. In my view, their refusal to discuss a damaged wheel, which is a potential safety issue, is disgraceful. Avoid.
