Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Athens car reservation?
No worries! If you can cancel your rental more than six hours before pickup, you may be eligible for all of your money back. You'll want to read the cancellation policy as there are some exemptions. Visit our Customer Service Portal if you still have queries.
What types of cars can I rent in Athens?
Take the wheel of a compact car in Athens and you'll be in fine company. The most in-demand rental car type, these rides are easy on the hip pocket, good on gas and a cinch to park. With a compact ride, you'll easily manoeuvre around bustling city streets. Alternatively, you can think big. Check out our range of larger rental models including intermediate, standard and full-size. However you like to roll, we'll have your ideal ride.
Where can I go on a road trip from Athens?
Athens offers adventures galore, but don't limit yourself to one place. Book a set of wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are some ideas:
  • Make tracks to Columbus for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Around 105 kilometres from Athens, it's home to lots of amazing sights such as Ohio Stadium.
  • About 193 kilometres away, Dayton is also a hit with travellers. Make sure you check out National Museum of the United States Air Force while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this city.
  • Get into the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Geneva State Park. It's approximately 290 kilometres from Athens.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Athens with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare rates, offers and rental companies, and to check reviews. Combine your Athens car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athens?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Athens. Keep in mind that rental suppliers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers often aren't permitted to rent luxury cars or larger vehicles. Take note of the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any surprises when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Athens?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Athens?
Whether you have plans to hang around Athens or venture beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Found an Athens supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great news! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
