When I rented a car on the 18th, the car rental company charged more than 700 euros in consumption (which was actually a deposit). When I returned the car on the 28th, I said it would be refunded within a week. Today, I checked and my credit card still shows more than 700 euros as "unaccounted". What is going on ?

Returned the car on the 30th, received a text message from a domestic bank on the 5th stating that the deposit was returned.

Don't worry, sometimes it can take a few extra days, it depends on the car dealership, they are usually slow.

By the way, when I picked up the car from Thifty/Hertz in Santorini, I swiped 500 euros. I originally thought it was a pre-authorisation deposit, but later found that the bank recorded it as the amount of consumption. Is this normal? Will a refund be made when the car is changed later ? Greece Q&A

In summary, the schedule is too tight, I'm not sure how much time I have left to play, but the days are late in Greece, it's not until 8 o'clock at night that it gets dark, and it doesn't matter if you go late to places without tickets, it takes a long time to get to Meteora from there, whether it's from Athens or your itinerary from Meteora to Delphi, your estimated time will definitely be exceeded, considering that you have six people, you must stop in the middle, driving too fast is tiring and unsafe. Mystras needs to be repaired in the castle on the mountain and the monastery below, Monemvasia also has a castle on top of the mountain and a town crossing, they are all not small, they need a lot of time, I think each point a day is very rushed, relatively speaking, Delphi, Olympia and the Theatre are small points (although they are not small), your itinerary on the 14th is really impossible to do, you have to go from Monemvasia to Nafplion to Epidaurus and then go to Cape Colonna and back to the Temple of Poseidon and back to Athens, you basically have no time to shop, just drive. I really suggest you delete some points and enjoy the leisure of Greece๏ฝž ? Greece Q&A
