To rent a car, you will need: a valid driver's license (an international driving permit may be required, depending on the country of issue of your license), a passport, and a credit card in the driver's name. The minimum age for rental is usually 21, but some companies may require 23 or 25 years. Booking in advance often allows you to get a better price. A deposit will most likely be taken from you upon receiving the car, which will be returned after returning the car undamaged. Make sure you understand the terms of the deposit refund.
When renting a car, you will be offered various types of insurance. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) covers damage to the car in the event of an accident. Theft insurance protects against loss of the vehicle. Pay attention to the amount of the deductible (excess) – this is the amount you will have to pay yourself in case of damage or theft. Check if your credit card covers rental car insurance to avoid double insurance.
In Greece, traffic is on the right. Many roads have toll sections (toll roads). Be careful of speed limit signs – they may change. Parking in cities can be a problem, especially during peak season. Usually, parking is only allowed in designated areas. Be careful on narrow roads, especially in mountainous areas.
