Everything You Need to Know About Renting a Car in Greece
- You must be at least 21 years old. A young driver fee may apply to under 25s.
- Must have held your license for at least 1 year.
- From 5 November 2021, visitors with a valid driving license from the USA, Canada, Australia, UK and Gibraltar, do not need an International Driver’s Licence to drive in Greece.
- Visitors who have a valid license from a European Union country, as well as Switzerland, Norway, Lichtenstein and Iceland do not need an international driving license.
- An international drivers license is required for non EU licenses and those not mentioned above.
- You'll need to show a passport
- City: 50km/h (31mph)
- Rural: 90km/h (56mph)
- Expressway: 110km/h (68mph)
- Motorway: 130km/h (81mph)
- Greek’s drive on the right-hand side of the road.
- Private toll road rates range from €1.50 to €3.50.
- It’s illegal to drink and drive, or to talk on your phone while driving in Greece.
- Seat belts are a must. Fines are €80 for the first offense, and €350 after that.
- Fines for going through a red light or illegal overtaking are €700.
- At an intersection with no stop sign, cars on the right have “right of way”. However this is also true for Roundabouts! That means cars already in the roundabout will stop for those entering (this isn’t typical elsewhere).
- Illegal parking can result in fines of about €150.
- Children under 12 years old must sit in the back seat.
- Car seats are compulsory for children under 4 years old. Book one in advance, or bring your own travel-friendly car seat.
- Greeks LOVE using their car horn! For pretty much anything. Don’t take it too personally. In fact they may honk the second a traffic light turns green.
- If renting a car, watch out for impatient motorbike riders (which there are many) don’t really obey lane rules. They’ll also whizz past you even when you’re stopped at a red light.
- While driving around Greece’s islands or rural areas, traffic may come at you from the other direction without any warning on what seems like single-lane roads. Or even driving backwards down a road. Or stopping in the middle of it.
- Greek pedestrians follow their own rules. You’ll find people ambling down the road without heed to oncoming traffic. Be careful of them.
- Drivers in Greece DO NOT STOP at pedestrian crosswalks. So if you do, you’re risking getting hit from behind by a Greek driver not expecting it.
