How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athens?
Rental car rules in Athens require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Athens?
Before you can hit the road in Athens, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.

Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Athens providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
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 renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, 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 that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's 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 in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
