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.

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

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.
