Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Athens car reservation?
There are always times when plans are turned on their head. That's why we offer your money back on many prepaid bookings if you notify us six hours before collecting the car. Remember to double-check your rental policy — there are some instances where it's not offered. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Athens?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the number one choice for many travellers to Athens. Featuring terrific gas mileage and easy parking and handling, they're perfect for getting around the city. A compact car has slightly more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can travel around in a little extra comfort. Prefer a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athens?
Usually, the requirement is 21 years and over in Athens. It should be pointed out that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Check before you book, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like an SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Athens?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

You can. Expedia partners with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and discover every inch of Athens — or far beyond!
Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Athens. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
