Book Cheap Sixt Car Hire Deals in Nea Smyrni, Athens, Greece

Some rentals have mileage limits, while others provide unlimited mileage. Review these policies carefully to avoid unexpected charges.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Athens, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Some companies may provide a complimentary tank of fuel with your rental. Understand the conditions, such as how much fuel you need to return with to avoid fees.

Ask the rental agency about any specific local driving challenges or conditions. This can help you prepare for potential difficulties during your journey.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.
