Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 144 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported being subjected to hidden fees and pressured into purchasing additional insurance, even when they already had coverage. Reviewers frequently encountered issues with deposits, including cards being declined despite being valid, outright charges instead of holds, and delays or failures in receiving refunds. The company's location was often off-site, requiring customers to be picked up and driven to a remote office, which many found inconvenient and not as advertised. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the service, noting professional staff and smooth car return processes.

Disastrous Service and Unfulfilled Refund Promises

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Right Cars in Athens, Greece. Despite the contract stating that a representative would be waiting at the airport, no one was there upon my arrival, forcing me to make multiple calls to them. To my shock, I was informed that Right Cars had ceased operations in Athens on July 17th, a fact not communicated to me despite booking two months in advance.
No prior notice was given about this closure, leaving me stranded without a car. Their only solution was to offer an alternative rental at double the original price, which was unacceptable. They promised to cancel the contract and issue a full refund, but 12 days later, I still have not received my money, and the agency has been unresponsive and unwilling to assist.
This lack of communication, unfulfilled promises, and failure to refund have made this a highly frustrating and unprofessional experience. I strongly advise against booking with Right Cars in Athens.

I would not rent another car from RC Right Car rentals. They gave me the wrong car, too small and not what I ordered. I was also made to feel guilty for not taking out their additional insurance as I already had made alternate insurance arrangement. They were rude and not accommodating in the 36c heat. The day before returning the car was suspicious keyed(scratch) and I was charged $415 euros. The cars are tracked I would never use them again. I have been hiring cars for decades and never had such a poor experience.

Avoid this company - deposit not returned!

I hired a car, booked through Opodo, from Antalya airport on 13 June 2025. Like so many other reviewers, my credit card mysteriously wouldn't work to pay the security deposit despite numerous attempts and a long and expensive call to my bank, who told me that there were no blocks or issues with my credit card. The guy at the desk then suggested that I could pay 900 Euros using my debit card instead and that this would be refunded within 21 days of the drop off. I agreed as I had no other choice (the rental place is not on the airport - you have to be collected and driven somewhere). I returned the car on 16 June with no issues. During my trip I'd read the reviews of this company and was horrified to learn that this debit card trick is just that; it's a scam. Upon return, I spoke to the guy at the desk about my concerns and he assured me he would process the refund that day. Today is 27 July and I have still not received my refund. I have tried to contact Right Cars through their website (there is no email address or phone number) but I have been ignored. I have sent whatsapp messages to the guys in Turkey but they have fobbed me off. I am at a loss.
Avoid this company at all costs if you don't want your good value rental to turn into the most costly rental and end up with a huge headache.

Profoundly disappointed with the service.** Staff were aggressively hostile: shouting over customers, denying us basic courtesy, and failing to resolve issues. We endured a **3-hour wait in 38°C temperatures with heavy baggage** without assistance or apology. Ultimately left to arrange (and pay for) independent transport. Strongly advise others to reconsider."

Scam

Basically, we could not get the car because they told us that they stopped operating in Athens. I did the reservation 1 month in advance and received zero emails about it. I am happy now as I read the reviews and looks like an awful company.
It is scam, I wonder why stills operating...

not even worth one star

not even worth one star. This company is one of the worst I have ever had dealings with in 35 years of coming to Crete. This soured our last day and we had to leave to catch a flight. We ensured the car was clean full of fuel, and no damage that we could see. On return to their office, a woman checked the car over 3 times before pouncing on a small chip to the windscreen. When we picked the car up there was a hard sell to take out their insurance at an additional cost more than the rental. There was a disagreement at the time of return when we disputed the tiny chip however on our return to the UK we have been charged over £500 for this. The staff are rude and not customer friendly. We have not received a proper invoice for this cost and I will be following this up with the address I have in the UK. It is absolutely a rip off to charge that amount for a chip that we unfortunately did not see or was it pointed out to us., but of course its written in the contract which was supplied after we took the car. We booked this through Easyjet and so had no choice of who we were going to be using. Renter beware.....

RIGHT CARS

RIGHT CARS : My reply to the Head Office

I am somewhat astounded by your reply to my email.
Firstly, you cannot claim that my version misrepresents what actually happened as you yourself were not present and therefore you are basing your judgment on what you have been told from the agency. I fully understand that you must stay loyal to your employees but unless you have video proof of the incident it is their word against mine.
I insist that the car was in perfect condition when it was returned to your agency. I had thoroughly washed it inside and out the evening before and would have noticed if there were any scratches or tar marks on it. Where on earth did the idea of the tar marks come from??? Was this your invention or something that was imagined by the agency once I had left the country??? There was absolutely no mention of any tar at any moment throughout the incident or during the police intervention! As you will see below on the invoice that I was given, there is a mention of a so-called scratch under the door panel but no mention of tar being present!!!


When I brought the car back I was asked to go into the agency and sort out the paperwork whilst a member of staff did the observation of the vehicle. In other words, I was not present and could not see what he was doing when examining the car. To my great surprise, I was told that there was a scratch under the door. (but no mention of any tar!) I was in total disagreement with the observations made by the agency making this claim and decided to call the police.
The two police agents arrived and one of them greeted the two members of staff & stayed in the office chatting to them (he obviously knew them). The other police officer checked the car with me and witnessed the fact that the paint just peeled away when I gently rubbed it with my finger.
For your information two staff members, two police officers and myself makes five people in total (and not seven as you claim!) Since dealing with your agency we have read a great deal of feedback from other clients with similar experiences including one just a week before us. He too observed that the paintwork of the car was obviously masked and he, in turn, was accused of scratching the paintwork.
All that you are “making clear” in your email is that you are dishonest and unprofessional in your approach towards your clients. You certainly do not have to “invite” us to refrain from renting with you in the future! We have absolutely no attention of doing so and we will do our upmost to warn friends, family and social media of your lack of professionalism and integrity.

No communication & no deposit refund

I had a very frustrating experience with Right Cars in Antalya. After returning the car in good condition and on time, I’ve been waiting for weeks to receive my deposit refund (RC2089365IW). Despite multiple attempts to contact them via email and phone, I haven’t received a single response. The phone number provided either goes unanswered or is out of service.

A company’s professionalism is reflected not only in the rental process but also in how they handle post-rental matters. Unfortunately, Right Cars has completely failed in this regard. I would strongly advise others to be cautious when renting from this company, especially if you’re relying on getting your deposit back promptly.

Avoid them

Totally trouble, they didn't send car to the airport till we found a local person to contact them, after arriving to their office at midnight they told us that they will take deposit not hold it and when I complained, they said you can cancel it, at the mid night middle of nowhere.
When I got into the car I found the fuel guage is near red zone but they said you can return with same amount, you imagine at midnight in new country you need to go to the petrol station first.
more than 3 weeks after returning the car and trying to contact them in different ways but no response, today I claimed via my credit card.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were charged an out-of-hours (OOH) fee.
Please note that the branch operates between 07:00 and 22:00. If a booking is made within these hours but the vehicle is collected outside of this timeframe, an OOH fee will apply as per our policy.

Great company

The company were great . We waited 10 minutes at the airport , transfer to their office was quick and collecting the car was simple . Paperwork was explained and easy to complete . Our car was modern and clean and drove really well all week. The price was amazing for the week . Would definitely recommend

Right Cars Antalya - THIEVES!!

Hired a car that was supposed to be at the airport on arrival - IT WASN'T!!
Eventually got picked up and taken to the office. Had to pay a £790 deposit for an already dented car. Returned the car with no more damage at all which was agreed by the staff. They will not give my deposit back and are ignoring my requests. I contacted my card provider who have returned it. AVOID THESE SCAMMERS AT ALL COSTS !!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your feedback.

Unfortunately, we are unable to locate your booking without a reservation number. However, I can confirm that this branch does not offer vehicle collection directly from the airport. All rental documentation is completed at the branch itself. Customers are collected from the airport and transported to the branch, where the rental agreements are finalised.

It’s unclear where you may have been advised otherwise, as this process is clearly outlined in the terms and conditions for this location.

We are also sorry to hear that you have not yet received your deposit return, please write to customercare@right-cars.com providing your reservation number so we can better assist you, the first two letters begin with either RS,RC or ER as we are unable to locate your booking details.
