The vehicle type and model shown are indicative only. The reservation confirms the car category, not a specific model. In case of non-availability, the company may provide a vehicle of the same or higher category at no extra charge.

The rental cost is calculated on a 24-hour basis, starting from the vehicle pick-up time. A grace period of up to 2 hours is allowed for return. After 2 hours, an additional rental day may be charged.

If the vehicle is returned earlier than the scheduled end of the rental period, no refund is given for the unused rental period.

A valid national driving license is required, together with an identity card or passport. For drivers from countries outside the European Union, an International Driving Permit may be required.

The minimum driver’s age is 21 years, with at least 12 months of valid driving license, for car groups A, B and C. For all other standard car groups, the minimum age is 23 years and the driving license must have been held for at least 24 months.
For luxury car groups L1 to L6, drivers must be at least 25 years old and must hold a valid driving license for at least 24 months.
Drivers over the age of 75 are required to purchase the full insurance package. In these cases, a valid credit card must be presented at pick-up and used as a guarantee, regardless of the insurance coverage selected. An additional fee of €10 per rental day will also apply.

Payment for the rental is made upon vehicle pick-up, in cash or by Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Usually, no advance payment is required to confirm the booking. In special cases, an advance payment may be requested after notification by the reservations department.

For bookings with basic CDW insurance, a credit card in the driver’s name may be required to reserve the excess amount. With the Premium / Full Insurance package, a credit card is not required as a guarantee. Exceptions may apply only for rentals from Athens Airport and are confirmed by the reservations department before pick-up.

In case of key loss, the renter must inform the company immediately in order to receive instructions or a replacement key. The cost of key replacement is the sole responsibility of the renter and is not covered by any insurance.

Administrative penalties, fines or traffic violations that occur during the rental period are the sole responsibility of the renter. The renter must inform the company of any violation. If a fine or violation is notified after the end of the rental, the relevant charge will be passed on to the renter.

Most rentals include unlimited daily mileage, unless otherwise stated in the booking terms or agreed with the reservations department.

For any change or cancellation of the booking, the customer must inform the reservations department at least 24 hours before the start of the rental.

The vehicle must be returned with the same amount of fuel it had at pick-up. If the vehicle is returned with more fuel, the value of the extra fuel is not refunded.
