You can rent a car on the following islands: Antiparos, Folegandros, Milos, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Santorini, Serifos, Sifnos and also in Athens.

In order to rent a car, you must be at least 23 years old and have held a driving licence for at least one year. The price varies depending on the model, the season, the type of contract and the islands concerned. In the islands with less tourism, there are fewer vehicles on the road, so there is not much competition for rental, and in addition the roads are poor. These factors explain the difference in price compared to the islands with more tourism.

Hiring is in periods of 24 hours: the car must be returned at the same time as it was taken out; otherwise an additional day will be charged. The rates proposed here are promotional rates so it is advisable to reserve your car in advance. Our rates include all taxes.

The terms for car rental are as follows: - Unlimited kilometres - Local taxes and V.A.T. - Third party insurance.

- Replacement of the vehicle in cases of serious breakdown.

- Delivery and return of the vehicle at a location of your choice - between 9:00h and 21:00h- a supplement of 12 € is payable outside office hours. Exception: Antiparos: the vehicle will be delivered and returned in Paros.

Supplementary insurances, generally not included in the brochure prices -Insurance C.D.W. (collision damage waver) – damage to the vehicle as a result of any collision – 6€ per day. -Insurance F.D.W. (full damage waver- provided that customer has purchased CDW insurance) – only applicable in Paros, Naxos and Santorini -. An additional 3€ per day. This insurance clears the renter of payment of the excess (franchise) in case of any other damage to the vehicle in an accident caused by the renter. If this insurance is not purchased, the damage to the vehicle must be paid by the renter of the vehicle.

Excess (Franchise): it is different on each island. IMPORTANT : Damage to wheels  (including wheel trim and severe tyre damage), lights, windscreen, windscreen wipers, mirrors, rear-view mirrors, undercarriage and the interior of the vehicle is not covered by any insurance. 

ATTENTION:

- At the time the contract is made, the company representative will ask for some security (usually credit card details) and will need to see a valid driving licence. - The vehicle must be returned with the same amount of fuel as when it was delivered. If it is not, the client is obliged to pay the difference in cash. - The choice of vehicle category should depend not only on the number of passengers but also on the amount of luggage it will be necessary to transport. 

The roads are not very good and the Greeks drive dangerously, so be careful.
