Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions for travelers from Canada renting a car in Greece

How far in advance should I book a rental car in Greece?

It’s highly recommended to book as early as possible, especially for peak season (July–August). For popular islands (Santorini, Mykonos, Crete) or automatic cars, book 3–6 months in advance. In shoulder season (April–May, September–October), booking 1–2 months ahead is usually sufficient.

Where is the best place for Canadians to book a rental car in Greece?

Use QEEQ, a comprehensive comparison platform. QEEQ aggregates offers from major international and local Greek rental companies, providing transparent packages and flexible, affordable insurance options. This helps you find the best price and coverage.

Should I rent a manual or automatic car in Greece?

Manual cars dominate Greece and are cheaper. If you only drive automatics in Canada, definitely book an automatic in advance. Automatics are scarce and in high demand, especially on islands and mountainous roads, so book early.

What type of car should I rent in different parts of Greece?

On islands like Santorini or Mykonos, rent a compact car (e.g., Fiat Panda, Hyundai i10) due to narrow roads and tight parking. On the mainland or for longer trips, consider a compact or mid-size car for comfort and luggage space. In mountainous areas, a compact SUV may help but isn’t strictly necessary.

Should I rent a car for the entire trip or only parts of it?

It’s best to rent in segments. Don’t rent for Athens city—public transport is better and parking is tough. Rent after leaving Athens or upon arriving at each island. Taking rental cars on ferries is costly and may void insurance.

Can I do a one-way rental (pick up in one city, return in another)?

Yes, most companies allow one-way rentals (e.g., pick up in Athens, drop in Thessaloniki), but a one-way fee applies. Check the fee details on QEEQ before booking.

Can I take my rental car on a ferry to other Greek islands?

Not by default. Most standard insurance prohibits ferry transport. If you need to take a car on a ferry, inform the rental company and purchase ferry insurance. Otherwise, insurance will be void if something happens on the ferry or on another island.

Are there special rules for young drivers under 25?

Yes. Most companies require drivers to be at least 21; some require 23. Drivers 21–24 usually pay a young driver surcharge (about €10–25/day) and may only rent certain car categories.

Do I need to rent a GPS device?

No. Smartphone apps like Google Maps and Waze work well. Arrange for Canadian roaming or buy a Greek SIM card for data. Rental GPS units are often outdated and expensive.

Can I rent a car at the airport upon arrival in Greece?

Not recommended. Walk-in prices are higher and availability (especially automatic cars) is limited, especially in peak season. Book in advance through QEEQ for best rates and selection.

Do Canadians need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Greece?

Yes, absolutely. Greek law and Canadian government travel advice require non-EU license holders to present both a valid Canadian driver’s license and an IDP. Without an IDP, rental companies may refuse to rent, and insurance may be void in an accident.

Where can I get an IDP in Canada?

Only the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) issues IDPs in Canada. Apply at any CAA branch with your valid license and two passport photos. Processing is usually immediate, and the permit is valid for one year.

Can I rent a car in Greece with a Canadian G2 (Ontario) license?

No. Rental companies require a full, unrestricted driver’s license (e.g., Ontario G license). Provisional, learner, or restricted licenses (like G1, G2) are not accepted. Most companies also require at least one year of driving experience.

What documents do I need to present at the rental counter in Greece?

You must show: (1) your valid Canadian driver’s license, (2) your matching IDP, (3) your passport, and (4) a credit card in the main driver’s name for payment and deposit.

Does the credit card for payment have to be in the main driver’s name?

Yes, always. The credit card for the deposit and payment must match the main driver on the contract. Cards in someone else’s name (even a spouse) are not accepted.

Is there a maximum age limit for renting a car in Greece?

Some companies have upper age limits (e.g., 70 or 75 years). Older drivers may need a doctor’s note or extra insurance. Check terms carefully if you’re in this age group.

If multiple people plan to drive, what should we do?

All intended drivers must be present at pickup and listed on the contract. Each needs a valid license and IDP. Additional driver fees usually apply per extra driver per day.

Can I use my Canadian driver’s license and IDP if they’re about to expire?

Both must remain valid for your entire rental period. If either expires before you return the car, the contract is void. Check validity before your trip.

What’s typically included in the rental quote? What hidden fees should I watch for?

Basic quotes include collision damage waiver (CDW, with high deductible), third-party liability, theft protection, and local taxes. Common extra fees: airport surcharge, young/old driver fee, additional driver fee, one-way fee, GPS/child seat rental, out-of-hours pickup/return.

What is collision damage waiver (CDW) and what is a deductible/excess?

CDW limits your financial liability for car damage to a fixed deductible/excess (often €800–€2000). If repairs cost more, you only pay up to the deductible.

Should I buy the “super cover” or “zero excess” insurance at the desk?

Desk super cover/zero excess insurance is very expensive but reduces liability to zero. Consider if you want peace of mind, but there are often cheaper alternatives.

Can I use my Canadian credit card’s rental car insurance?

Yes, many premium Canadian cards offer collision coverage. But: (1) Confirm with your issuer that Greece is covered. (2) Make sure your car type and rental duration are eligible. (3) You must decline the rental company’s CDW at pickup. (4) In case of damage, you’ll pay upfront and claim later, so you need enough credit limit.

Are there third-party insurance options besides credit card or desk insurance?

Yes. QEEQ often offers affordable full refund insurance that reimburses your deductible if you have to pay for damage. Purchase during booking. You pay the rental company, then claim reimbursement from the insurer.

How much is the security deposit and when is it refunded?

Deposit depends on company, car, and insurance. With basic CDW, it’s €800–€2000. With zero excess insurance, it drops (sometimes €200–€300). It’s a credit card pre-authorization, not a charge, and is released 1–2 weeks after return if no issues.

What is the fuel policy for rentals in Greece?

Most use ‘full-to-full’: pick up and return with a full tank. If not full on return, you’ll pay a high refueling fee. Take a photo of the fuel gauge at pickup and fill up before returning.

Are there toll roads in Greece and how do I pay?

Yes, most major highways have tolls. Pay with cash (euros) or credit card at toll booths. Some small booths may take cash only, so carry coins.

What if I get a traffic ticket (e.g., speeding or parking)?

The rental company may charge an admin fee (€30–€50) and pass your details to authorities. Fines will be mailed to you. Pay promptly to avoid increased penalties.

What are the rules and costs for child car seats in Greece?

Children under 135cm must use a suitable car seat. Rent from the company (€5–10/day, often with a max cap). Reserve in advance to ensure availability.

Is the pickup process at Athens International Airport (ATH) complex?

No. Major companies have desks in the arrivals hall. Some local brands are offsite—follow instructions for a free shuttle. Your booking confirmation from QEEQ will specify the pickup location.

What should I check on the car at pickup?

Inspect and photograph all exterior and interior damage, wheels, windshield, and roof. Note odometer and fuel level. Ensure any unrecorded damage is added to the contract before you leave.

What if my booked car model isn’t available?

The company must provide a same-class or better vehicle at no extra cost. If they downgrade you, ask for a refund of the difference or refuse the car.

What if my flight is delayed and I’m late for pickup?

If you didn’t enter your flight number, your car might be given away after 1–2 hours and your prepayment lost. Always enter your flight number on booking and call the branch if you expect a major delay.

What should I do to ensure a smooth return process?

Arrive at the return location at least 30 minutes early. Fill the tank nearby and keep the receipt. Have an attendant inspect the car with you, get a signed confirmation of return with no damage, and photograph the car, odometer, and fuel gauge.

Can I request hotel pickup or drop-off for my rental car?

Some local companies, especially on islands, offer hotel delivery/collection (sometimes free, sometimes for a small fee). International chains usually restrict service to airport or city locations. Check during booking.

If I return the car early, can I get a refund?

Generally, no. Rental contracts are based on the booked period, and unused days are non-refundable. Check your rental terms for exceptions.

How do I return the car outside business hours?

Usually, you park in a designated area and drop the keys in a secure box. As there’s no staff to confirm the car’s condition, take thorough photos and videos as evidence.

How does Greek driving differ from Canadian driving?

Greek drivers are more aggressive: fast, close following, frequent lane changes. Honking is common. Flashing high beams means ‘I’m coming through.’ On highways, slower cars often move onto the shoulder to let faster cars pass—this is customary, not law.

What are the basic traffic laws and speed limits?

Drive on the right. Roundabout entry yields to vehicles already inside. Seat belts are mandatory. Mobile phone use while driving is prohibited. Speed limits: 50km/h in cities, 90km/h on rural roads, 110–130km/h on highways unless posted otherwise.

Is parking difficult in Greek cities and villages?

Yes, especially in Athens and touristy island towns. Streets are narrow and parking is scarce. Use paid lots outside central areas and walk in. Blue lines mean paid parking, white is free (often full), yellow is no parking.

Are road signs in Greece easy to understand?

In major areas, signs are in Greek and English, with international symbols. In remote rural areas, some signs are Greek-only, so using GPS is helpful.

What is the road quality like, especially on islands?

Mainland highways are good. Country and island roads are often narrow, winding, steep, and sometimes unpaved. Drive slowly and carefully, especially near cliffs and beaches.

What are Greece’s drink-driving regulations?

Very strict. The blood alcohol limit is 0.05% (0.02% for drivers with less than two years’ experience). Penalties are severe, so don’t drink and drive.

Is refueling easy in Greece? Do gas stations accept credit cards?

Yes, gas stations are common in cities and major islands. Most accept credit cards, but in small villages, cash may be needed. Many stations aren’t 24/7 and usually have attendants to pump the gas.

Should I rent an ATV or scooter instead of a car?

ATVs and scooters are popular on islands for flexibility and parking. However, they are riskier and require proper experience and licensing (sometimes a motorcycle license and IDP). If you’re inexperienced, stick to cars.

What should I do if I have an accident in Greece?

Stay calm and safe. Turn on hazard lights and move the car if possible. Call the police (100) for an official accident report (required for insurance). Call the rental company’s emergency number. Don’t admit fault. Collect the other driver’s details and take photos. For injuries, call an ambulance (166).

What if the rental car breaks down or has a flat tire?

Call the 24-hour roadside assistance number on your rental contract. They’ll send help or a replacement car. Don’t arrange repairs yourself.

Does the rental company provide winter tires? Are they needed?

Most of Greece has mild winters, so standard tires are used. If driving in northern mountainous areas (e.g., Meteora) in winter, request snow chains at booking. Winter tires are not commonly provided.

If Google Maps suggests a shortcut, should I take it?

Be cautious. In rural or island areas, shortcuts may lead to very narrow, steep, or unpaved roads. Prefer main roads even if the route seems longer on the map.

What are the top tips for saving on car rental in Greece?
