Cheap AUTO-UNION Car Hire in Athens

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.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

Being aware of gas stations ensures you won't run low during your travels.

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

When hiring a car in Athens, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like AUTO-UNION. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

When hiring a car in Athens, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, AUTO-UNION charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.
