Swift Car RentalsElias had the only car rental agency in
the Plaka. All the other agencies were on Syngrou and had familiar names
like Budget, Hertz, Avis, Inter-rent and so on. I went to Elias and asked
him if he would give people from my website a discount?
Dear Katarina and Elias, I just want to thank you very much for providing us means to see more of Greece. Katarina driving us out of Athens was great help and I am very grateful to her. We were heading to Naphlion, but finally we landed a couple of kilometres further in the town of Tolo. And thank God we did. We found accomodation in a very nice hotel just by the sea. By the way, you can recommend Tolo to your clients as a nice spot to stay when visiting Peloponese: plenty of hotels and tavernas and nice sandy beach. Parking the car in Nikis Street at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday was not as easy as Katarina had told us but we somehow managed to find a spot. Right before the waste basket. As agreed, we returned the car key to the reception at Nikis Hotel. Once again, thanks very much. Regards,
Hi Mat Thanks for recommending Avanti (Swift) Rent a car agency to me. Hlias and Salvos have been great to me and always a great help. Their prices are the best around and I should know as I am very stingy with money when comes to luxuries like renting a car. I will use them the next time by the Grace of God I go to Athens. Basilis Just wanted to thank you for recommending Swift Car rentals. They did an excellent job, were amazingly easy, and made our trip wonderful. I would definitely use them again (and am even thinking of calling them again soon!). Thanks for the advice! Matt -- I want to report a good experience we had with

Hello Matt: As recent travellers to Greece (a return after 30 yrs.!). we would like to let you know that our experience with Swift car rental of Athens was as pleasant, unproblematic, and worthy of total recommendation to others planning on renting a vehicle thru them. We had the car for 3 weeks, drove all over mainland Greece and the Peloponnese, plus Tinos island, and never had any problems. We did, as is 'usual' for most tourists, a minor dent due to narrow roads and unmoveable stone walls, yet were not charged for this, although we did expect it. We also received holiday wishes from the owners, even though we never met them personally. We were greeted and handed our car at the airport upon arrival by one of the employees, who was very competent. All paperwork was done quickly, and the return at 4:30 am at the airport was easy as per instructions and the good airport layout. We will recommend Swift to others we know, and as we have friends who live in Athens, they also get lots of visitors and we have let them know that they are a good, reasonable option, as opposed to the usual multi-national outfits. If you're interested in some interesting B & Bs we stayed in, pls. contact us. We had lovely rooms in places like Mili (near Nafplio), Dimitsana, and Preveza, all found by chance, and good deals! We also have a web page in the making with lots of pics - if you're interested. Greece was, even 30 years later, a wonderful place, despite the routine strikes, etc., but the people, food and sites were outstanding! Sept./Oct. is a very good time for bargains. Cheers, and thanks for your site, as we checked out the many testimonials re Swift before we decided on them. It helped make our decision final. Elli Dear Matt, I wish to thank you for all your efforts at GreekTravel.com. It is a
treasure trove
On the down side, I did return to the states with quite a coffee addiction!

We tried just about every food there was to offer - even the Kokoretsi.

Thanks again, Doug Heckaman II Good morning, Manos, we are off to santorini this morning. we left the key with the reception at the art hotel. we parked the car in the front of the hotel but to the left (turn left out the front door) but down a little, on the corner. the hotel staff said that it would be fine there. the gas tank was just under a 1/4 of a tank when you gave it to us, so we gave it back at 1/4 of a tank. i want to say that your company provides a great service to tourists. it was wonderful eliminating the stress out of driving out of the city. and i hope your boss knows what a terrific employee he has in you! you are very friendly and personable...a great person to have working with clients so they have a wonderful experience working with your company. do you have any sister companies in other countries? i will definitely rent from them. if i come back this way again, i will definitely look you guys up. speaking of that, i will mention your company to all my traveling friends. i know 2 couples who are planning upcoming trips to greece. i am also going to put a wonderful review about you on TripAdvisor.com..more people need to know about your company:-) thank you again for your wonderful service, ellen oldham Hello Matt! In October 2006, my husband and I started our year-long Greek odyssey. During the planning process, we came upon your website (very informative!) and through that, found out about Swift Car Rental. This was one of the best experiences of our trip! We needed a car for the whole year and Swift was the best deal we could find. Not only that, but the best in service as well. It was nice to know that if we had any problems we could call Ilias or Christine and it would be okay. It was more like working with family friends... much better than a big anonymous corporation! We've been back in the states now for 7 months and are planning a return trip to Greece in September (just 3 weeks this time). I just sent an email (via your site) to Swift to make arrangements for a car and I wanted to thank you for making the connection for us. Happy travels!

We will be in Greece this year but will not be renting a car! We will miss seeing you but we are renting a house on Hydra - what can I say? Hope you have a wonderful summer and next year we will contact you. Your cars are great and last year when you drove us to the "freeway" - that was super! Recommend you to everyone! Dear Elias, dear Elias and Julia: Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 2:21 AM Hi Just wanted to say thanks for such a wonderful service - especially in the middle of the strike and standstill in Athens! You did a great job for us - we would not have been able to manage without you. We will definitely use your company again when we come over and we will be telling all our friends who visit Greece to book with you as the best car hire firm in Athens. Once again, many thanks and hope to see you again soon. Best wishes Deirdra and Stephen
