🏆 Our Verdict: Leo Opsimos Rentals vs Elephant Rent A Car
Leo Opsimos and Elephant Rent A Car serve different needs more than they compete directly. Leo is the clear winner on personal service, deposit policy (zero vs charged), and overall score. Elephant's advantage is size — 300+ vehicles vs 50+ — and most importantly, 24/7 Sunday operation including late nights. If you're arriving Monday to Saturday and want the best local experience, Leo wins comprehensively. If you're arriving Sunday or after 22:00, Elephant is your most reliable option. One important note: Elephant charges the deposit to your card rather than blocking it — for GBP or USD cardholders this triggers foreign exchange fees. Leo charges no deposit at all.
