Car rental at Athens Airport

Car rental at Athens Airport is a convenient way to start your trip around Greece as soon as you land. A range of car categories is available, from economical models for city driving to spacious vehicles for families or groups. You can choose your preferred level of protection, from a basic tariff to full cover with zero excess.

Car pick-up and return are available 24/7, including for night flights. Unlimited mileage is included in the rental price, and you pay the main amount when collecting the car — no full prepayment is required. All key terms, the deposit amount and the cost of your chosen protection are displayed in the car details before you book. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before the rental starts. One-way car rental is also available, with returns at another participating city or airport in Greece.

When booking a car at Athens Airport, you don't need to pay the full rental cost upfront. You pay the main amount when you collect the car.

To confirm your booking, you only need to pay 7–10% of the total rental cost online. The balance is paid at the rental office. If your plans change, cancel at least 48 hours before the rental starts to receive a full refund of your prepayment. For later cancellations, only the prepayment amount is non-refundable, so you won't have to pay the full rental cost.

Collect your car as soon as you land! The rental office is just 10 minutes from Athens Airport. On arrival day, a free shuttle provided by the rental company will take you there, and after you return the car on your departure day, it will take you back to the airport.

You can collect and return your car 24/7, so there's no need to plan your trip around standard office hours. This is convenient for both late-night arrivals and early departures. If you're planning to travel around Greece, you can also choose one-way car rental and return the car in another available city or airport. Select your return location when booking, and arrange any return near a ferry terminal in advance.

When renting a car at Athens Airport, you can choose from three protection packages to suit your needs and budget. Start with basic cover or opt for more comprehensive protection, up to Super Protect with zero excess.

The car details show the price of your chosen package, the coverage terms and the deposit amount in advance. The deposit depends on the level of protection you select, and Super Protect comes with a minimum deposit. Rentaholiday does not sell third-party insurance policies, so you can see the rental terms upfront and compare the available options before booking.
