Fira rules state drivers must be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.

While rules may differ between car rental outlets, the two main things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out the company’s auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.

Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Greece — the same side as in the States. Traveling around Fira won’t be exactly like home, though. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the local traffic rules.

You can take the wheel in Fira with a valid U.S. license. But if you prefer to have peace of mind, obtain an International Driving Permit ahead of your trip. It’s an additional handy form of identification to have while you’re traveling.

Age policies are different between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a Fira outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just bear in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re interested in should have all the details you need.

Start your road trip the right way by selecting Expedia’s collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have.

Opt in to collision protection while booking your Fira ride with Expedia and save money and time.
