You'll need to check the age policy of the Athens rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge extra costs. It's best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You 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 rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
