What do you need to rent a car in Athens?

Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.

Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Athens providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Athens?
Start your road trip on the right foot by purchasing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency help. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental desk to insure your precious ride. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Athens ride with Expedia and save time and money.
