Santorini best rent-a-car offers
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 Santorini, 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 Santorini and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Santorini, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible Audi A5 Cabrio from €78 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by sixt. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Ford Tourneo at a rate of €77 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, budget is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 5 series. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Peugeot 208 car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €18 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.

Price changes Santorini depending on the season
During the high season in summer, car rental in Santorini costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the VW Passat popular in Santorini costs €46 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €11 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 Audi A5 Cabrio is offered at €78 per day.
Among budget models, the most demanded in Santorini is the Peugeot 208. The sixt company rents it out for €18 per day.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a BMW 5 series will cost about €44 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a BMW X3 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 Audi R8, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.

Cancellation and change conditions
On our website, you can cancel or change your booking in Santorini 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: To cancel a booking, please go to the “Manage My Booking” section – do not contact the rent-a-car company directly.
Insurance coverage cancellation policy:
If you purchased an additional insurance product with your car rental, the policy will be automatically ended when the booking is cancelled. To check if you are eligible for a refund, see the cancellation policy set out in the terms of your 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 Santorini 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.

We advise you to carefully study the age requirements of the company, especially if you are under 26 years old. After all, your car rental costs may depend on this. Different countries, companies and even rental locations may have different age limits and fees. Therefore, we urge you to read the full terms and conditions of the rental service and the information specified in the voucher.

Answer: You can pick up a car in Santorini and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this.

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 Santorini are ones that fit into the Compact and Standard categories, including the Peugeot 208 and VW Passat models. If you want to choose a car that exactly matches your needs, try making a short list of your expectations. Think about your passengers and how comfortable they’ll be while driving. Check the volume of the boot, as well as safety and fuel economy features if that’s important to you.
