Pros: Service
Car
Cons: The signage at Chania airport could be clearer for those who are not arriving via plane. I went to the lot only to be told I had to go inside to check in. After walking back and forth, there was quite a bit of time waiting for the attendants to pick up and bring the cars to the lot. They were working very hard but the whole process seemed to take a very long time.
Pros: Great value
Cons: Inconvenient pickup drop off from the airport
Enterprise Rental Car Scam
Cons: They did not let us rent the car. We were not allowed to rent the car due to not allegedly having a AAA international license. We didn't have that license and we were still able to rent a car from a different kiosk in Chania and also in Santorini. I suspect that since I was able to lock in a good rate for the car reservation they did not want to honor the pricing.
Pros: Did not have any experience with them
Cons: I did not have any experience with them
Comfy car
Pros: I rented an automatic and it was really easy to drive and dud well driving through the white mountains of Crete

Pros: Did not have any experience with them
Cons: I did not have any experience with them
Never showed up
Cons: They never showed up. I had to rent another car from another company at a premium price. No one at the Chania airport had heard of them, and calls would not go through.
Switched
Cons: Ace switched rental company without making us aware. We were farmed to a third party car company that has terrible reviews and we would never have used. Still waiting for deposit to be returned.....
