How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athens?

Home agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance. Remember to check the fine print before choosing your ride.

Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Athens holiday home suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It's better to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
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 organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older 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 additional terms and conditions.
  • 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 U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
