Booked through our holiday company…

Booked through our holiday company (Jet2), we were pleased that Exer was only a short hop from Rhodes airport and that everything was as described. Exer took photos of the car (which we duplicated) immediately before we took it over. There were several blemishes but nothing serious and we returned it in the same condition - which was quickly verified by Exer. A quick and easy easy process.

EXER for the second time

I rented a car at EXER for the second time, first time was on Crete, this time Thessaloniki. My experience was positive. I called them from the airport and they picked me up within 5 minutes. I booked the budget option through check24.com but got a new Citroen DS3 (I was a little bit afraid to scratch it because the roads are not always good!)
I did not experience any problems, the staff was friendly and helpful!
Please note that now they now take pictures of the car instead of mark damages on paper. You should do the same to have proof, just in case

Car with faulty gearbox.

Pros: Agent waited at the airport and dropped us at the car rental.

Cons: Delay with car availability during pick-up. The car that we were given (older Hyundai i20) was in rather poor condition, weird noises coming from the car all the time, my assumption is that the issue was with clutch and gearbox. The biggest issue was with putting the 3rd gear in place. After all we somehow managed to use the car for the 4 day rental period not having to waist our time with car replacement.

Reasonable rates, good little car, friendly staff

The car offered by Exer was in perfect condition, being nearly new. As a small car, it struggled a bit with the steeper grades of the Pelopennese coast road, but generally managed fine, and fuel economy was good. The only slight worry was when the shuttle bus didn't turn up when we expected it (7.40 instead of 7am) and the number given for ringing in case of problems was the wrong one (9-5 office number instead of operational rental site). Once the shuttle finally arrived everything was fine. Just make sure you know the PIN number of the credit card you used to book online! This is required before checking out. The rental site is quite far from Athens airport, which obviously helps keep costs low, but we were able to navigate back to it with no real difficulty. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Very friendly and helpful customer…

Very friendly and helpful customer support!!
Due to a flight delay, we picked up the car later then expected, but it wasn’t a problem, even a contract extension for one day, wasn’t a problem.
Highly recommended!

Great Rental!

We arrived at Thessaloniki airport, and the ride to rental ground was already waiting us..

The guys at the office were super nice, responsive and shared all the information needed about the car and costs.

We got a brand new Peugeot 3008, which was safe, and spacious, and really made our trip comfortable - we spent long drives in the car.

At the return, the guy was also super nice, and closed all the paperwork.

Positively Recommend Exer

Easy booking, clean and tidy vehicle upon arrival, no fuss and helpful staff. Only downside was the prolonged wait at the airport for pickup, but understandable.

Everything was OK

Everything was OK, except that someone who previously used the vehicle seated with wet clothes (supposedly, after a swim at the seaside) and therefore there were stripes (salt?) on the seats. Not a major issue, anyway.

Excellent

I was really happy with this car rental in Dalaman. Staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The car was good and the price was exceptional,
On arrival at the airport you just give them a call and they’ll collect you.
I would recommend and use again
