Question 1

Why do I need a credit card to rent a car from National in Athens?

Accepted Answer

A credit card is typically required to secure the rental and cover any additional charges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel, that may occur during the rental period. The card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure that the renter is financially responsible for the vehicle. In some locations, debit cards may be accepted, but they often require additional documentation or a credit check. Always check with National for specific payment policies in Athens

Question 2

Can I rent a car from National in Athens for a month?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car in Athens for a month. Just enter your dates and search for the type of car you want.

Question 3

Is it allowed for another person to drive my rental car?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is charged if you return your car hire to a different location from where you picked it up. This fee covers the cost of transporting the car back to its original location. The fee amount varies based on the specific locations involved.

Question 5

Should I purchase extra insurance when hiring a National car in Athens, Greece?

Accepted Answer

Every rental company requires valid insurance for financial security. Without it, National may refuse your rental. Exceptions where insurance may not be necessary include: Existing coverage that applies to international rentals and matches your chosen car type/class. Additional insurance from your credit card provider that covers rentals abroad. If you don't meet these criteria, purchasing some form of protection is essential. You can secure your deposit by purchasing Excess Fee Insurance during booking on our website, or opt for Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the National rental counter.

Question 6

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The National fuel policy you select in Athens will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
