What do you need to rent a car in Athens?

Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Athens often depends on the holiday home supplier you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas others may not apply any extra costs for this age bracket. Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to escape excessive charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
