Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 714 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the staff for their efficiency, welcoming demeanor, and professional attitude, making the pickup process easy and pleasant. The booking process is often described as straightforward and hassle-free, with many appreciating the competitive pricing and the quality of the cars, which are typically clean, well-maintained, and suitable for their needs. Many people highlight the excellent service, noting that everything from pickup to return is smooth and without complications, leading to a highly satisfying overall experience.

Great experience

Hi, all been fine and process was quick and smooth
Car was in good condition and safe
Staff members were pleasant and friendly, high manner's.
I just worried about the deposit refund as I see lots of complains about that. People were argue about not getting their deposit back with out having to argue with the company.
If that happen to me it will be a massive problem.

But overall until now, was great experience

Smooth experience and great value from…

Smooth experience and great value from Orbit. The only downside is with the hire companies themselves who try to force overpriced and unnecessary insurance at the desk when picking up the car. In my case, I already have insurance for excess. It’s poor pressure tactics, but as long as you are aware of it, you can handle it. But they will take a large holding deposit onto a credit card instead. This is pretty much standard practice across all UK car hire companies. In my case, it would have trebled my hire cost..

Dear Susan,

thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that you had a smooth experience and found great value with Orbit.

We also appreciate your honest comments regarding the insurance offers at the rental desk. We understand that this can sometimes feel excessive, especially when customers already have their own cover. Your feedback is very valuable, and we always encourage customers to review their options in advance so they can make informed decisions with confidence.

Thank you again for your insights and for choosing Orbit Car Hire. We look forward to assisting you again in the future.

Excellent service, Great price and Clean and perfect car provided

They provided us with an excellent friendly profesional service, the Car was as ordered and as described, and spotlessly clean which is more than i can say for other suppliers out of Larnaca Airport.
To top it off they went above and beyond to rectify an error that both we and the supplier made when collecting the car.
All this was sorted with a brief message and it was fully rectified in a matter of hours without any fuss or ado.
I would highly recommend Orbit, and have put my money where my mouth is by booking with them again in 5 months time.
Highly recomended.

Booked a 7 seater car rental

Booked a 7 seater car rental
Arrived abroad, no car available.
Infact the company do not have 7 heaters in there fleet.

Was left stranded at 11.30pm with a large family and baby.

Half of the family had to get public transport to the nearest town 90km away at midnight.

The other half had to pay €250 for a 5 seater car rental although the original booking for the 7 seater was €90.

I have complaint 11 times to Orbit but they are now not replying. I provided screen shots of my bank, receipts from the car company.

*** PLEASS NOTE ORBIT IS A BROKER AND WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEMS STAY CLEAR AVOID AT ALL COSTS ***

I have now made a complaint to the business ombudsman and I have ask my lawyer to take it from here.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the great feedback and the helpful tip! Taking photos at pickup is always a smart move, and we’re glad everything else—from the process to the car itself—went smoothly for you.

Good to hear the team was easy to deal with as well — that makes all the difference.
