Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many hire customers in Athens. Featuring terrific mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're well-suited to travelling around the city. A compact offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

It's easy to find an amazing deal with Expedia. Simply choose your favourite ride, select your dates and preferred pick-up and drop-off locations, and browse offers from all the top rental brands. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Athens car hire with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athens?
Athens requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can hire a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Athens?
Hiring a car in Athens is easy. Usually, all that's required is your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. After choosing a great set of wheels, read your policy to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to pick-up.
What is the cheapest car hire in Athens?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a hire car in Athens was £40. The next lowest was £41 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Athens?
You can, and the good news is companies often offer lower prices the longer your hire term. Check out our long-term car hire deals in Athens and score an amazing bargain.
Where can I find an Athens hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Athens hire suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge extra costs. It's good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
