Comfort and convenience at the best price

We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Athens airport, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Athens airport and pick it up at a convenient place for them.

Options and possibilities:

We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Athens airport on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible BMW 4 Cabrio from us, starting at €40 per day and rented out by the popular company EUROPCAR in Athens airport. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Ford Tourneo might be best - from €79 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, SIXT recommends opting for a business class car like Jaguar XE for €76 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Focus for just €16 per day.

How to minimize costs:

In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

The dynamics of price changes depending on the season

The highest demand for car rental in Athens airport occurs during the high tourist season - summer.

On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.

For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Mercedes C Class in Athens airport is €37 per day.

In autumn, the same car costs about €13 per day.

In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a BMW 4 Cabrio will cost €40 per day for the duration of the vacation period.

Among budget models, the most demanded in Athens airport is the Ford Focus. The EUROPCAR company rents it out for €16 per day.

For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a Jaguar XE will cost about €76 per day.

The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a Toyota Rav-4 very cheaply in the autumn for just €30 per day.

It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a BMW 8-series, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.

Answers to popular questions

Question: What is included in the car rental price?

Answer: The cost of renting a car in Athens airport is usually made up of unlimited mileage, car damage insurance (CDW), and VAT. Some additional services that can be added are insurance against theft, inclusion of a child seat, and admission for a second driver to use the car. As a rule, the client picks up the car with a full tank of fuel. You must fill it up on its return. In the rental conditions of the selected car, you can find a full list of services that are included in the rental price. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read all of the important information before booking.

Question: Is it possible to rent a car in one destination and return it in another city?

Answer: You can pick up a car in Athens airport and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this. When booking, find the option "Return in another location" in the search form and indicate the city in which you will return the car. However, this option is not available for all cars.

In this case, you need to call the rental company directly at the phone number indicated on the voucher to come to an agreement and discuss the terms of the surcharge.

Answer: The most popular cars in Athens airport are ones that fit into the Compact and Standard categories, including the Ford Focus and Mercedes C Class models.

Check the volume of the boot, as well as safety and fuel economy features if that’s important to you.

Question: How do I find rent-a-car near me?

Answer: Click on the "Car rental near me" icon in the search form. The system will automatically determine your coordinates and suggest a number of available cars, starting with the ones closest to your location. However, check the exact address of the rental office before booking to ensure that the coordinates are accurate.
