Car rental at Skiathos Airport

Choosing the right car hire at Skiathos Airport involves several things to consider. If you're travelling alone with a single bag, consider renting one of the smaller, more compact vehicles which are easy to zip around in. If you're travelling with two large bags, you may want to look at larger car rentals like an SUV or a van. When travelling to Greece during the hotter months, a convertible allows you to feel the wind in your hair as you drive.

Travelling on a budget and looking for the cheapest rental option at the airport? You'll want to consider booking a couple of weeks in advance to ensure you get the best deals. Another recommendation is to be flexible with your travel dates as cars can often be more expensive on certain dates and days of the week. Spend time looking through all of the options on KAYAK and make a note of the fuel policies, mileage and insurance coverage on offer. A fair fuel policy is usually the safest option. You'll need to return the car at the same level of fuel but won't have to rely on the agency charging extra to fill the car up.

Keep in mind that you will need to be 21 to rent a vehicle in Greece and will need to have had a valid licence for at least a year. Upon arrival at the rental desk, you must produce a valid driving licence, passport or ID, as well as a valid credit card. Some rental agencies also require proof of address for security purposes. As a foreigner, you may be asked for your travel itinerary.
