Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I pick up my rental car at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH)?

You'll find rental car desks conveniently located within the airport terminal at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH). Simply follow the signage for 'Car Rentals' upon arrival, and you'll be directed to the various providers.

What kind of car should I rent for driving in Athens and around Greece?

For navigating Athens' city streets and exploring Greece's charming towns, a compact or economy car is often a savvy choice. It's easier to maneuver and park in tighter spaces. If you're planning longer road trips or traveling with more luggage, a mid-size or SUV might offer more comfort and space.

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Greece?

Yes, if you're not an EU citizen, it's generally recommended and often required to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to your valid national driver's license when renting and driving in Greece. It's a straightforward process to obtain one before your trip, ensuring you're fully prepared for your Greek adventure.

What age do I need to be to rent a car in Athens?

Most car rental companies in Athens require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Keep in mind that drivers under 25 may be subject to a young driver surcharge. Always check the specific age requirements with your chosen rental provider to ensure a smooth pickup.

What insurance options are available when renting a car in Athens?

When you rent a car, you'll typically have several insurance options. These often include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), which limits your financial responsibility for damage to the rental car, and Theft Protection (TP). You might also consider supplemental liability insurance for coverage against third-party damages. Priceline helps you see the different options so you can choose what makes you feel most confident on the road.

Can I add an additional driver to my rental car agreement in Athens?

Yes, you can usually add an additional driver to your rental agreement. There might be an extra daily fee for each additional driver, and they'll also need to meet the rental company's age and licensing requirements. It's a great way to share the driving and make your journey even more relaxing.

Is it easy to drive in Athens and navigate around Greece?

Driving in Athens can be dynamic, especially in the city center, but it's an exciting way to explore. Main roads and highways throughout Greece are generally well-maintained. Having a GPS or using a navigation app on your phone will be incredibly helpful for getting around confidently and discovering hidden gems.

What's the fuel policy typically like for car rentals in Athens?

Most rental companies in Athens operate on a 'full to full' fuel policy. This means you'll pick up the car with a full tank and are expected to return it full. It's a straightforward approach that ensures you only pay for the fuel you use.

What documents do I need to pick up my rental car at ATH?

To pick up your rental car at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, you'll need your valid driver's license, your International Driving Permit (if required), a major credit card in the primary driver's name, and your rental confirmation voucher. Having these ready will make your pickup swift and seamless.

Are there toll roads in Greece, and how do they work?

Yes, there are several toll roads in Greece, particularly on major highways connecting cities. They're typically paid in cash at toll booths or, less commonly, via an electronic transponder system. It's good to have some small euro denominations on hand for convenience, ensuring your road trip stays smooth.

Can I take my rental car on a ferry to the Greek islands?

You can often take your rental car on a ferry to the Greek islands, but it's crucial to confirm this with your specific rental company beforehand. Some companies may have restrictions or require special authorization, and there might be an additional insurance consideration. It's worth asking to unlock the freedom of island hopping with your own wheels!

What are the parking options like in Athens?

Parking in Athens, especially in the city center, can be challenging. Look for public parking garages or designated parking zones. Many hotels outside the immediate center offer parking. For exploring central Athens, consider parking your car and using public transport; it's an efficient way to see the sights.

What if I need to return my car outside of regular business hours?

Many rental locations at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport offer an 'after-hours' return service. You might be able to drop off the keys in a secure box, but it's essential to confirm this arrangement with your rental provider in advance. This flexibility means your travel plans can stay on your schedule.

How can I get the best deal on a car rental in Athens with Priceline?

Priceline makes it incredibly easy to find a great deal on your Athens car rental! We empower you to compare prices from a wide range of top rental companies, ensuring you get competitive rates. Plus, keep an eye out for our exclusive Express Deals and bundle options to unlock even more savings and confidently book your perfect vehicle.

Top Tips

  • Kickstart your Greek adventure by securing your car rental reservation well in advance, especially during peak seasons. Booking early often unlocks better rates and ensures your preferred vehicle is ready for pickup right at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport.
  • Upon arrival, head confidently to your rental desk; major international companies operate directly within the airport's Arrivals Hall. Have your valid driver's license, international driving permit (recommended for non-EU citizens), credit card, and booking confirmation ready for a swift pickup.
  • Embrace peace of mind by thoroughly understanding your insurance options. While basic third-party liability is usually included, consider opting for additional coverage like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) with zero excess for worry-free exploration on Greece's captivating roads.
  • Before driving off, meticulously inspect your rental car for any existing damage, inside and out. Document everything with photos or videos, and ensure it's noted on your rental agreement to avoid any unexpected charges upon return, keeping your journey smooth.
  • Navigate Athens and beyond like a local with reliable GPS or a smartphone navigation app. Google Maps or Waze are incredibly helpful for real-time traffic updates and finding the most scenic routes, ensuring you discover Greece's hidden gems effortlessly.
  • Familiarize yourself with Greek road signs and regulations. Driving is on the right, seatbelts are mandatory, and speed limits are enforced. Be mindful of mopeds and motorcycles, especially in city centers, to ensure a safe and joyful journey.
  • Discover convenient parking solutions, particularly in bustling Athens. Look for controlled parking zones (blue lines for paid, white for free, yellow for restricted) or utilize underground parking garages for secure, stress-free stops as you explore historic sites.
  • Be aware of Greece's specific traffic rules, such as the "right of way" at uncontrolled intersections, which often defaults to vehicles coming from the right. This knowledge empowers you to drive confidently and safely through diverse Greek landscapes.
  • Prepare for toll roads on major highways, like the Attiki Odos, which connects the airport to Athens. Many accept cash or credit cards, making your longer journeys across Greece seamless and efficient for reaching enchanting destinations.
  • Ensure your return to Athens Airport is as smooth as your departure. Allow ample time for dropping off your vehicle and reaching your terminal, especially during peak travel times, ensuring a relaxed end to your incredible Greek adventure.
