I was very happy with the price and the efficiency of both Orbit and Autorent.I have dealt with Orbit before and I was pleased to recommend them to my friends.l will now recommend Auyo Rent as they were a pleasure to deal with.Thank you Noel
Really happy with the service and vehicle. Staff at the location were helpful and friendly. No push to purchase add-ons that i have had with previous providers. Good value for money.
Habe über Orbit ein Auto in Heraklion Kreta gemietet. Bei Avance, zum 1. Mal überhaupt das gewünschte Fahrzeug in sehr gutem Zustand bekommen, auch bei der Rückgabe keine Probleme gehabt. Unsere Flüge wurden geändert, Anfrage wegen Abholung und Rückgabe wegen geänderter Flugzeiten wurden schnellstmöglich erledigt, zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit von beiden Gesellschaften. Jederzeit wieder

Straightforward and good prices
So easy to use first time with orbit let’s see how we get on thanks
Efficient staff and process. The car didn't have park (P) on the automatic shift; it took me a bit to figure out the situation, haha. Generally pleasant experience; I will use it again next time and recommend it to others. Thank you.
Nice car to drive. We up graded to a vehicle with a sat nav which was what we needed driving around Sicily. Easy pick up and hand over. Only complaint was the direction to the car hire office could have been better. We were on airport site but outside, and we didn't know where to go.
First time I use Orbit Car Hire and the service provided by the team there has impressed. Very courteous, professional and objective. Whilst we won’t be booking with them this time around, I will certainly recommend them to people I know. Thanks, Nik!
Good car. Clean and no damage. Good daily rate. Excellent service from two very nice and efficient ladies.
I arrived and didn’t have to queue to pick up my vehicle. I was upgraded as no vehicles of the size I had booked were available- worked very well. The vehicle was easy to find, clean and instructions easy to find. The staff were friendly and courteous.
The only reason i didn't give 5 stars was the courtesy bus to take me to where the hire car was kept me waiting about 20-25 mins. Other than that great. Would use again
The car I hired was pretty much brand new . Quick shuttle bus to rental unit . However make sure you thoroughly check the car before you leave and take loads of photos of the car and any marks at all photo them as when you return it they go around it in such detail it’s unreal. They will try to catch you out luckily I took the photos of the mark and the scratches on the rear bumper on mine and the man who was in front of me had the same issue but he had the photos to back himself up that the damage was already there . So great experience. Great car but remember to photo your car before you leave
