Naxos car rental

I read where many had bad experiences with renting a car in Santorini. We want to rent a car in Naxos and am considering fun car and rides, has anyone had any experience with them or is there someone else you recommend?
Thank you.

We have used fun cars since 1996. They are professional and have good cars and price is competitive.

There are lots of other car rental companies but to my mind Fun Cars is number one.

We've rented cars from several agencies, good experiences all around. My one tip has to do with timing. IF renting a car on a one-day basis for a quick whirl around the island, and want to start early in the morning, like 8 or even 9 AM, good idea to do a 7pm - 7pm rental. Pick it up the night before & park by your hotel. Greek business people (and all Greeks) eat dinner late, and sometimes are slow getting to cruising speed in the morning. Once we booked a car pick-up for 9 am - and weren't underway until 10:30. It will be easy to return car before you go to dinner on drive-day.

We got our car today from cars and rides. The 1st car we got was pretty dinged up with 70,000km and no gas. I emailed them when we got to our hotel and the manager called and exchanged cars for us. She explained that in Naxos they rent the cars without gas. That would have been helpful information but all is good now.

Thanks for reporting back. Indeed I should have mentioned the empty gas tank in my earlier post.
