Car Rental Greece: FAQs
Do I need a driver's license to rent a car in Greece?
You need a valid driver’s license from your home country to rent a car in Greece. If your license is not issued in the European Union (EU) or does not use the Latin alphabet, you will also need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental agencies may refuse to provide a car if you don’t have the required documents, so it’s best to check in advance. The IDP is easy to obtain in most countries and is valid alongside your original license.
What are the age requirements for renting a car in Greece?
The minimum age to rent a car in Greece is usually 21, but some companies may require drivers to be at least 23 or even 25 for specific vehicle categories. If you are under 25, a young driver fee may apply. Some rental agencies also set a maximum age limit (usually around 70–75). Check with the rental company before booking to avoid unexpected restrictions.
Are automatic cars available for rent in Greece?
Manual (stick shift) cars are far more common in Greece. If you require an automatic transmission vehicle, booking well in advance is best, especially during peak seasons. Automatic cars are often more expensive than manual ones due to their limited availability. If you are uncomfortable driving a manual car, reserving an automatic early will ensure you get the desired vehicle.
Is it safe to drive in Greece as a foreigner?
Driving in Greece is generally safe, but it can be challenging for first-time visitors due to narrow roads, aggressive local drivers, and mountainous terrain. Greek roads may have sharp turns and steep drops, especially on islands like Santorini or Crete. In cities like Athens, traffic congestion can be overwhelming. However, if you follow road rules, drive cautiously, and stay alert, driving in Greece is a convenient way to explore the country.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Greece?
Car rental prices in Greece vary based on factors like location, season, and car type: Economy cars start from around €17–€24 per day. SUVs and larger vehicles range from €40–€80 per day. Luxury cars can cost over €100 per day. Prices are higher in summer and on popular islands like Santorini or Mykonos. Booking in advance helps you secure the best rates and avoid last-minute price hikes.
What are the fuel policies for rental cars in Greece?
Most rental companies in Greece follow a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you receive the car with a full tank and must return it the same way. If you return the vehicle with less fuel, you may be charged a premium refueling fee, often higher than standard fuel prices. Some agencies offer a prepaid fuel option, where you pay upfront and return the car empty, but this is usually not cost-effective unless you plan to use a full tank.
Can I take my rental car on a ferry to the Greek islands?
Yes, but you must inform the rental agency before doing so. Not all rental companies allow ferry travel, and those that do may require additional insurance to cover possible damage during the ferry ride. Popular routes include Athens to Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes. If you fail to notify the company and something happens to the car while on an island, you may not be covered by insurance, leading to unexpected costs.
Can I drive a rental car from Greece to another country?
Most rental companies do not allow you to drive their car outside Greece. If they do, you will likely need special permission and additional insurance. Cross-border travel is typically limited to neighboring countries like Albania, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria, and rental agencies charge extra fees for such trips. If you plan to drive beyond Greece, confirm the rules with the rental company before booking.
What are the toll roads in Greece, and how do I pay for them?
Greece has several toll roads, mainly on highways connecting major cities like Athens, Thessaloniki, and Patras. Toll booths accept cash and credit cards, but some may only take cash, so it’s wise to carry small change. By default, rental cars do not have electronic toll passes, so you must pay at each booth. Toll fees range from €1 to €3 per section of the highway.
What should I do if I get into an accident with a rental car in Greece?
If you are involved in an accident, follow these steps: Ensure safety – Move to a safe spot if possible and turn on hazard lights. Call emergency services – Dial 112 for police, medical, or fire assistance. Notify your rental company immediately – They will guide you on the next steps. Take photos and gather details – Document any damages, exchange information with other drivers, and note the accident location. File a police report if necessary – Some rental companies require one for insurance claims. Having comprehensive insurance coverage helps minimize unexpected expenses in such situations.
What is the best time of year to rent a car in Greece?
The best time to rent a car in Greece depends on your travel plans: Summer (June–August): Peak tourist season; high prices and demand. Book months in advance. Spring and fall (April–May, September–October) are ideal for lower prices, pleasant weather, and fewer crowds. Winter (November–March): Lowest rates, but some island services may be limited. If you plan to drive on Greek islands or coastal areas, visiting in the shoulder season (spring or fall) ensures better availability and lower costs.
