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.

Very easy process, just remember to take photos of the car before driving so that you don’t come back to any nasty surprises otherwise very reasonable and easy to talk to people and the car drove fine.

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.

Hope to see you again on your next trip!

The hire process was good, hire car poor

The hire process was good and were able to change car supplier (poor reviews) 3 days before travel. Shuttle minibus was prompt after taking other customers to Centauro. Reception desk staff helpful but no paperwork issued to declare damage/condition of vehicle. The hire car had several areas of damage and did not look to have been valeted with stains on seats & dust/marks. The car subsequently developed acceleration problems with warning light shown so tried several times to contact supplier without answer so called emergency number. Advised to return car to Alicante AP depot to change car. Ruined last day of our holiday!

Hi Colin,

Thank you for your detailed feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share it.

We’re pleased to hear that the booking process went well and that the team was able to assist with changing the supplier before your trip. It’s also good to know the shuttle and desk service met your expectations.

That said, we’re very sorry to hear about the condition of the vehicle and the issues you experienced during your rental. Having to deal with a fault and return the car, especially towards the end of your holiday, is understandably frustrating.

Your comments regarding vehicle condition and communication with the supplier are noted, as this is not the standard experience we aim to be associated with.

We appreciate your balanced review and hope we can provide you with a much smoother experience next time.

Kind regards,
Orbit Car Hire Team

Perfect

Everything was easily and conveniently done. From picking up the car at the airport, to detailed explanation from the employees at Felirent to bringing it back, everything was done smoothly. The car was new, easily drivable, clean, big enough to park it on the narrow streets of Puglia. It met our expectations, as we made a trip to a couple of cities :) The staff was polite, and they clearly and precisely conveyed all the information regarding the policy with the deposit, fuel, car cleaning etc.

Got the best price for 'on airport' car rental in Ibiza through Orbit Car Hire. The rental process was straightforward with no problems encountered. Obviously, Orbit Car Hire are just an intermediary. The rental was actually with Hertz/Dollar, who were very good.

Great value and everything was as expected

We rented a car with Hertz Firefly through Orbit Car Hire, and everything was as expected.
We were very happy with the car, the price, and the service provided by Hertz.
Everything was clearly documented in advance of our car hire, and the holding deposit was refunded within 24 hours of returning the car. We had no issues and were very happy with the service provided. We would use Orbit Car Hire again in the future.
