Located just off the west coast of Greece, and blessed with a typical Mediterranean climate of mild winters and warm summers, Zakynthos (known in English as Zante) is the third-largest of the Ionian Islands. With its wonderful beaches and unspoilt countryside, there's no better place for a relaxing holiday at any time of the year. Besides its enchanting scenery, the island's history is of great interest to visitors; it was held under Venetian rule for more than three hundred years and the influence can still be seen in the food, architecture and local language today. The island's capital, Zakynthos Town, is a relaxed place with a lovely waterfront area and plenty of first-rate cultural attractions portraying the island's rich heritage, most notably the excellent Zakynthos Museum where you'll see many fine frescoes, carvings and very well-preserved Greek icons. With a car hire in Zakynthos you can leave the town quickly and easily to enjoy some of the island's highlights, such as the unforgettable experience of swimming in the Blue Caves before sunbathing on the deserted beaches of the Vasilikos Peninsula. After that, you won't want to miss the chance to visit the famous Sea Turtle Rescue and Information Centre at Gerakas on the island's south-eastern tip, followed by the chance to buy locally-made carpets and lace products in Volimes, the handicrafts capital of Zakynthos.
By booking a car hire in Zakynthos with Auto Europe you'll be able to discover much more than the town but the entire island.

" Competitive prices and straightforward process. Would book again "
" Everything was as expected. I would book again. However I did think it was odd the underside of the car and wing mirrors were not covered by the insurance. However I suspect it's because people may go off road. It wasn't issue for us. "

" The staff were very friendly and took time to go over every aspect of the rental. The car was in excellent condition Making sure to point out any little marks or dents on the car (which you kind of expect for a rental) they also asked if I wanted to take photos as well. After reading many bad reviews of different rental companies, I would definitely use Alamo again after a great customer service experience. "

" This is our third time renting from the Zakynthos branch of Green Motion.

We visit Zakynthos quite frequently, and are likely to use Green Motion again. "

" Perfect and really good price. Easy website & good customer service "
" Ok car supplied, but shabby and broken boot lock. Green motion were not at the airport to meet us and we had to call them and wait 30 mins in the heat of the day for them to arrive "
" very satisfied with the car hire experience except no one to meet me in arrivals hall "
" Very satisfied with enterprise once i found them outside of airport instead of in arrivals hall as arranged "
" Auto Europe very informative about car hire i have used the company many times "
" The car very good the only problem i had i was told the representative would meet us in the arrival hall of the airport but there was no one in the hall so i asked where the enterprise office was and was told it was out side the airport easily found its a pity though i wasn't told from the begining i did phone auto Europe before departure and they still confirmed i would be met in the arrivals hall so the information needs to be rectified "
" It would be useful to make it clear one will need a credit card or some method of payment (depending on the cover purchased - we needed 600E extra - as a guarantee which was unexpected) "
" arrived earlier than arranged (we had no large baggage to check out) so it was a short walk to the unit off the airport. Car in good condition - exactly as expected. Checked out quick, and left it there very speedily. "
" Excellent service and very helpful staff who know what they are doing should you change your plans "
" Excellent service, car is always ready on time and presented well, again staff are very helpfull "
" Straightforward booking process "
" All ok but booked a small car and ended up with an older Hyundai i30 which was bigger than we were expecting. Felt obliged to take out excess waiver option paid in cash !!!. Car was damaged on pick up so this could have been an issue if extra cover not taken. Happy overall but some reservations. "
" Easy to use website, no problems "
" The car was a bit old and tatty (Ford Focus with 62K miles), however it was larger than the class of car we originally booked due to the availability that week,. which was better for us as we had quite a lot of luggage Although the rep took my mobile number and said he may need to contact me in case they needed to swap to a smaller car. We had. no problems with the pick up, but the drop off was a bit strange ,I was asked to " leave it in the airport car park (unlocked) with the ignition key under the passengers mat" This concerned me, what if it were to be stolen between me dropping it off and it being collected by national? "
" No problem other than your car provider in Zakynthos.. "
" Car was old (circa 100,000 km on clock) Not well maintained eg constantly slipped out of 2nd gear. Poor valet at pick up. As regular visitors to Zakynthos would not use Auto Europe if same car suppliers were your agents on the island. We also spend time in Cyprus but would be wary of your poor grade suppliers if this standard is the norm. Do you check them before offering contracts? "
" Simple and easy. Regular customer. "
" Personal contact good. Vehicle in safe but poor condition - exhaust / suspension rattles, scratches / dents, etc. "
" An excellent service was provided, would definitely recommend. "
