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

What do you need to rent a car in Athens?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find an Athens car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Found an Athens supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great news! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
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 home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's 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 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental.
