Athens: the Classic City

The Greeks are very friendly, and this is reflected in the chill-lifestyle of the city. Combined with the beautiful and spectacular sites, Athens holds a special spot in the hearts of all visitors. If there is something that captivates anyone who sets foot in Athens, it is the Acropolis. At the top of Athens sits the Acropolis, home to kings, a citadel, a mythical home of the gods, and today a place where you can connect with Greece’s past while you gaze at the Parthenon and the Erechtheion, all while enjoying incredible views of the city. Below the Acropolis lies Plaka, the most charming neighborhood in the city; don’t miss the chance to get lost in its narrow, cobblestone streets.

If you love Greek history, you cannot miss the Acropolis Museum, which houses important ancient Greek statues and much more. The National Archaeological Museum also boasts an impressive collection of statues of gods that will amaze you. The Panathenaic Stadium is another must-visit; the first modern Olympic Games took place here. There are several temples dedicated to Greek gods, such as the Temple of Hephaestus, the Temple of Athena, the Temple of Zeus, and the Temple of Nike.

Frequently Asked Questions about Car Rental in Athens

It’s simple: choose your destination and the pick-up date. Click on 'Check prices and availability now'. Finally, select the type of vehicle you want to rent and click 'Book'.

The main driver needs these four documents to be able to collect the car (all must be original documents and in the drivers' name): a credit card with embossed numbers and sufficient credit to cover the deposit amount and any extras, passport or ID card, full driving license and the rental voucher.

If the main driver only has a debit card in his name, we advise you to choose a car rental offer where debit cards are accepted. This can be seen in the conditions of each offer. In addition, we recommend you to apply the'Debit card' filter to directly access all the offers available.

The voucher is the confirmation of your booking. It contains your booking number and all the information you will need to pick up your car.

Please note you will need to bring your voucher to the pick up office to be able to collect your car. We suggest you print it out to speed up the pick up process.

You can extend the contract as long as the rental company allows extensions and has availability for the additional days, although currently very few companies allow contract extensions. Please note that in order to extend the rental contract, you will need to go to the office where you picked up the vehicle to sign the extension. If you do not go to the office to sign, the vehicle insurance may become invalid, and the company may penalize you for not signing the extension on time.

You will be able to extend your booking as long as the hire company permits extensions and provided that the car is available for the extra days. Please note that you will need to go to the local office to sign the contract extension. Failure to do so can invalidate the insurance and result in a penalty charge for not extending the contract on time.

The details of additional drivers are provided directly at the office when picking up the vehicle.

For most offers on our website you will be required to leave a security deposit when you collect the car. As long as you bring the car back undamaged at the end of the rental, the money will be unblocked / returned.

Yes, if you are planning on driving long distances, you can use the filters to the left of the car list page to see prices for rentals with unlimited mileage.
