How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athens?
Usually, the requirement is 21 years and over in Athens. It should be pointed out that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Check before you book, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like an SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Athens?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Athens. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home.
