Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that are in Athens. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 be aware that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to get 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 for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
