Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Athens car reservation?
Don't stress. You should receive a full refund if you cancel at least six hours before pickup time. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to check the policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Athens?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the number one pick for many visiting motorists in Athens. Offering excellent mileage and easy parking and handling, they're well-suited to cruising around the city. A compact car offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little more comfort and style. Prefer a bit more legroom?
