Got the best price for 'on airport' car rental in Ibiza through Orbit Car Hire. The rental process was straightforward with no problems encountered. Obviously, Orbit Car Hire are just an intermediary. The rental was actually with Hertz/Dollar, who were very good.

Great value and everything was as expected

We rented a car with Hertz Firefly through Orbit Car Hire, and everything was as expected.
We were very happy with the car, the price, and the service provided by Hertz.
Everything was clearly documented in advance of our car hire, and the holding deposit was refunded within 24 hours of returning the car. We had no issues and were very happy with the service provided. We would use Orbit Car Hire again in the future.

To the point although there's no need to charge for immediate booking. The 3 extra gbp is not friendly gesture especially when someone is doing it immediately. Infact it should be discounted.

Dear Lilly,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the inconvenience you encountered, particularly with the delay at collection and the vehicle not being suitable for your journey. We understand how frustrating and stressful this must have been, especially given the long distance and driving conditions you described.

We also regret the lack of follow-up regarding the vehicle exchange and the delay you experienced in receiving a replacement. This is not the level of service customers should expect.

Please note that vehicle allocation and replacements are managed by the local rental provider. However, your feedback has been noted and is important in helping us review partner performance and improve overall service standards.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,

This is the worst experience of hiring a car from orbit car hire.
Hi
Reference of your reservation is 34542262.
Car Rental Provider: Flex to Go.
I booked a 7+ seater vehicle whereas I was provided a 5 seater vehicle. Also I was told to bring the credit card from which the company is gonna charge and block an amount of £900 approx as a deposit. But they were unable to take the payment from my card for deposit. However they charge rent from the same card. Then that guy charged me another £110 to cover the deposit. It was a rip off and I knew it at that time but I had no option as it was late night. My reason to book the car in advance was to avoid the hassle.

Dear Syed,

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for providing your booking reference. We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced at the time of collection, particularly given the late hour.

Regarding the vehicle provided, while rental companies may supply an alternative model based on availability, it should be within the same category. We understand your concern about receiving a smaller vehicle than booked, and this has been noted for review with the supplier.

Concerning the payment and deposit, it is important to clarify that rental providers require a valid credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit. In some cases, even if a card can be used for rental payment, it may not meet the provider’s requirements for deposit authorization. Any additional charges or alternative arrangements offered at the desk are set by the local supplier.

We understand that you felt you had limited options at the time, and we regret the inconvenience this caused. Your feedback has been shared for further review.

Kind regards,
Orbit Car Hire Team

A very decent company

The booking of the car was very easy, communication clear and the voucher arrived quickly.

The car hire from radius was excellent, you do worry when you read horror stories of car rental. At first there was a bit of a hard sell on the comprehensive insurance. However, if you pay excess rental insurance in the uk then too should be curved at a fraction of the cost.

However, I worried by not taking it out they would find something wrong upon the return of the car. I was proven wrong, they were good people and finalised my deposit return in minutes. No issues at all and a very friendly, efficient, decent car and honest service. The staff spoke excellent English as well which was extremely helpful.

Overall a positive experience.
Checking in was easy and fast.
Finding garage location 5 min walk but on same level of rental car counters.
Only thing we didn’t like was to be charged and extra day cause returning the car 40min late.
