I think you will struggle with any hire firms local to Arillas but worth trying Arillas Travel. You may have to go through one of the more known ones that you pick up from at the airport. Not used Arillas Travel for car hire but they are well known in Arillas and easy to pop in and see if you have any problems.

Spiros at Arillas Travel is usually (in Greek terms anyway!) pretty quick in getting back to E mails .  Give him another nudge or call them . His English is excellent

Try Olgas Travel as well. Certainly provide a good service with hire cars but I don't know if they do 7 seaters.

Thanks everyone. I've found one online who do 7 seaters and will drop and collect from Arillas called 'Fairdeal Car Hire'.  I tried Olgas but again they're cars only go up to 5 seats. I'll wait for a reply from Arillas Travel before ordering anything I think as they've been recommended.

On a separate note - I think a lot of the travel companies work together. We booked a day trip to Corfu Town through Olga's travel and we were picked up outside Olga's travel but in an Arillas Travel minibus. Confused.com

Arillas Travel was started by Olga. Spiros was her husband. Olga and Spiros divorced, Spiros kept Arilla Travel and Olga opened Olgas Travel. Sadly, Olga died a couple of years ago and their daughter took over Olgas Travel. I think Spiros is helping her get on her feet.

Thanks Angie for explaining. I had heard Olga had sadly died. There is also an Olga's travel in San Stefanos (or at least there used to be).
