What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Athens?

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Athens. Economy or compact cars are easier to park and good for short drives. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or a sedan is going to have more room and provide a more comfortable ride on longer commutes. Those looking for a touch of extravagance on their Athens vacation can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in Greece?

In Greece you do need to have insurance before you rent. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Budget car rental?

Budget does require a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly depending on the model and make of the vehicle.

What is the fuel policy on my Budget car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full to full policy. You receive the car with the needle at "F". However, if you return the rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Budget.

Athens certainly has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities here.
