We hired a Jimny for 1 day in October and had a brill day. Hubbie wasn't keen on hiring a car at all coz he drives for a living and wanted a break but I talked him into it for 1 day then he did'nt want to take it back. It only cost 35 euros for the day coz it was end of season and we went to the North (as we visited South last time we went). Kids loved it with the top down even though it was a bit breezy up in the mountains. Definitely hire another and next time for longer!!!
Great fun but it cornered like a pram!! Handle with care 'til you get the hang of it.
We liked our Jimny so much we're now thinking of buying one, although not an open top one like we had in Zante - wouldn't get much use for that in Aberdeen!!!
Your right Eurosky is the best - not the cheapest but the most honest, very reliable, and freindly, Jimny was good as well, very fair company will use again next year.
WE ARE GOING TO TSILIVI IN AUG 03 AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO HIRE A CAR THERE. PASSPORT DRIVING LICENCE ETC. A BIT UNSURE ABOUT DRIVING ABROAD.
hired from hermes in the center of town...no problems and despite the rep telling everyone a c**k and bull story about insurance, we were covered and 2 days cost €100. well worth every penny to see the whole of the island before it gets too commercialised
Hired from "Sunset Car Hire" by the beach near the airport as they were giving the best deal at the time. The car was virtually brand new. The best car to hire on Zante by a long way. Good fun to drive and not too big for venturing up the winding roads into the hills. The only fault was the hood was a bit fiddly to put up when we got caught in a heavy down-pour, but most of the time it was a case of driving with the top down taking in the sun. Definately preferable to the older Samuris and Vitaras or any saloon (even with air-con).
Dimitri Peppas has a couple of these in Alikes/Alikanas which we've rented for the last couple of years. They are comfortable, reliable and feel safe. I've taken them on unmade tracks up in the Vrachonias and never had a moment's trouble. The only caveat is that they don't carry a lot of luggage if there's more than two of you on the airport run - otherwise perfect for use on Zakinthos and have a lower centre of gravity, making them much more stable, than the other, earlier Suzuki "jeeps".
