Car Hire in Greece

Before renting, verify what your travel insurance or credit card covers for rental vehicles in Greece.

Research any local driving restrictions, such as tolls, road types, and restricted zones, to avoid fines.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Select a car that fits your needs in terms of size and type, especially if you're traveling with luggage or a group.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

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

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
