KALAMATA CAR HIRE REVIEWS
Car hire reviews in Kalamata
Located 150 miles south-west of Athens, the ancient city of Kalamata is popular for its castles, ancient ruins and beautiful sunsets. Located in the northern part of the city, the Old Town is a labyrinth of churches and small family-run shops selling home-made products hidden away amidst a maze of cobbled streets. Lined with paintings and icons, many of them hundreds of years old, the church of Agioi Apostoloi is where the revolt against the Turks began in 1821. Located on a small hill at the back of the old town, Kalamata's 13th-century castle is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, with the views from its walls amongst the best in the whole region, especially at sunset. The nearby Archaeological Museum provides an excellent overview of the city's long history, displaying artefacts from important sites like the ancient city of Messini (built in 371 BC by the Theban general Epaminondas) located a few miles away. It's also a land of olives, which have been cultivated in the surrounding groves for over 3,600 years. The local black Kalamata olives are the most popular with the locals and perfect as an appetiser before dinner. With a car hire in Kalamata you can reach some of the best beaches in the local area, including Verga, Mikri Mandineia, Avia and Kitries. You can also drive to Olympia just 70 miles north of the city and sit on exactly the same spot where spectators viewed the first-ever Olympic Games in 776 BC!

" I always use Autoeurope. They have good customer service if you have a problem. And now they also sell good value excess insurance. The information you receive with your booking has also been improved and it clearly sets out what fees are included and what are extras that you have to pay locally. Well done. It must have reduced the volume of customer queries and complaints. It also helps prevent the car hire company from ripping you off e.g. adding spurious airport tax or forcing you to have their over-priced excess insurance. "
" We caused a little damage to the car and although we had excess insurance we were concerned about whether the cost of repair would be over-inflated. However the Alamo staff were efficient and helpful and the damage was assessed at 220 euros which was fair and reasonable. I was also charged correctly for my extras. Nothing else added to my credit card and no attempt to charge me in GBP at a usurious exchange rate. Very happy. "

" We have used Auto-Europe for many years and have always previously been Very Satisfied "
" First car we picked up - door locks did not work. Luckily I had only gone 1 km when I realised this and I then when straight back. The car was also very tatty. The second car was smaller than I had booked - not good as I had ordered a specific model as I needed the space. They said they would phone me and bring me the model that I had ordered a couple of days later. They never called because they had recorded my phone number wrong. Lastly "24 Car Hire" or whatever they were called have big stickers on the outside of the drivers door advertising that this is a rental car. Not a good idea. Some criminals target holiday makers. Having these stickers advertises which cars are being driven by holiday maker. "
