What happens if I need to cancel my Athens car reservation?
Cancelling a prepaid rental with six hours notice should allow for a complete refund. But this is not always the case. It's worth looking through your itinerary and rental agreement. Still can't find the answer? Hop on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Athens?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many travellers to Athens. Offering superb gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're perfect for navigating the city. A compact car has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, which means you can cruise around in a little extra comfort and convenience. Prefer a bit more legroom? Browse our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Athens?
Athens offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are a few ideas:

  • St. Louis is 153 kilometres from Athens. Popular tourist attractions like Busch Stadium deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Your next pit stop? St. Charles, which is around 145 kilometres away. Ameristar Casino St. Charles is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
  • Head to John Hancock Centre to feel grounded in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax and unwind. From Athens, it's around 274 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athens?
You need to be 21 and over to hop behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Athens. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Many providers will also charge a young renter fee. Check the rules before booking and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Athens?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Athens?
Athens has had some happy rental car drivers lately. The lowest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were NZ$87 and NZ$91. 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 rent a car for a month or longer in Athens?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and book a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Athens, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25  some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
