Athens best rent-a-car offers

Bookingauto (Athens) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Athens can always collect them from the most suitable place.

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 on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Mini Couper Cabrio from us, starting at €42 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Athens. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Peugeot Traveller might be best - from €84 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like Nissan Maxima for €82 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Peugeot 208 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.

How the cost changes in Athens

During the high season in summer, car rental in Athens costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Renault Talisman popular in Athens costs €46 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €12 for the same model.

During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.

Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Mini Couper Cabrio is offered at €42 per day.

Among budget models, the most demanded in Athens is the Peugeot 208. The sixt company rents it out for €16 per day.

Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a Nissan Maxima costs about €82 per day.

With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Volvo XC60 at this time can be rented for just €36 per day.

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

How to cancel a reservation without penalties

On our website, you can cancel or change your booking in Athens under certain terms.

The booking can be cancelled with a full refund at least 24 hours in advance (in some cases, 48 hours may be needed).

If cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice (or 48 hours in some cases), the administration fee will be deducted from the online payment amount but the rest of the money will be returned to your bank account.

Each vendor has a different cancellation policy and administration fee for different cars. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the cancellation policy before booking.

Remember that cancellations and changes are not possible after the pick-up time. This applies to all bookings.

Applies to all bookings:

If your online payment is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.

If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.

Important information: All cancellations must be made in the “Manage My Booking” section and not directly through the car rental company itself.

Insurance coverage cancellation:

If the car was booked with an additional insurance product, the policy will be automatically ended upon cancellation. The issue of reimbursement is resolved within the framework of the cancellation policy provided for by the terms of the insurance product.

No-show at the rental location:

A “no-show” can mean that:

● You didn't inform the car rental company of your cancellation before your pick-up time.

● You failed to pick up your car in Athens at the arranged time and date.

● You failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.

● You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.

In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.

The car rental company reserves the right to refuse a car to any customer who fails to arrive on time with all of the necessary documentation and a credit card with enough available funds for the car's security deposit. In such cases, the customer will not be entitled to a refund.
