What you need to know about car rentals

How do I get the best deals on an Athens Thrifty car rental?

We try to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. However, getting ahead of your trip can help you save even more. Make sure to go over the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

What should I bring with me when I pick up my vehicle in Athens?

You will need to present credit card, as well as your driver's license.

How old do I have to be to rent a car in Athens?

Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Athens is 21. Take time to read through Thrifty's policy, as there could be added fees if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category cars especially.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Athens?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what activities you want to do in Athens. Compact or economy cars are easier to park and good for short commutes. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or a sedan will have more room for luggage and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a dash of extravagance on their Athens vacation can choose a higher-end model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in Greece?

In Greece you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Thrifty. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Thrifty require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Thrifty does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your car for your trip to Athens. Please note that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the model and make of the car.

Do I have to return my Thrifty rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full tank policy. You receive the vehicle with full tank, and you should return it topped off. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Thrifty. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Do I need unlimited miles when I rent a car in Athens?

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

Does Thrifty offer one-way rentals in Athens?

Thrifty usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to drop off your vehicle at a different Thrifty. Be aware there may be an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
