Tips to consider before renting a car in Greece

• Renting a car in Greece is the easiest way to
  explore the beauty of this beautiful country
  without any trouble. Interestingly, keeping
• the arrival of huge tourists across the world to
  this historical country you can find a plethora
  of groups offering the facility of rent a car to
  the tourists and visit the famous sites of
  archaeological relevance, beautiful islands and
  beaches, and many more. But, there are certain
  regulations that need to be kept in concern by
  the tourists,
• before renting a car to travel around. Some of
  these rules and regulations are mentioned in the
  paragraphs set forth
• Traffic on the right-hand side As a normal
  condition the traffic in most of the countries
  across the world
• moves in the left direction, but this is not the
  same in Greece. It would be surprising to know
  that whether you are traveling a rented car or
  driving a car you need to drive in the right
  hand, and therefore the tourists coming from the
  countries like United Kingdom, Australia, or
  different countries might find it difficult to
  drive in Greece.
• Highways between the roads One more thing, apart
  from right-hand traffic, which could surprise to
  most of the tourists in Greece is falling on the
  highways in the mainland. This can be a little
  bit risky for them, but if they drive carefully,
  driving could be easier for the tourists.
• Toll plazas The highways in Greece are not
  exceptional to the highways in other countries,
  here also you will find the toll plazas at
  different locations. The toll charges vary from
  2.5 to 3,5 Euros for the regular passenger cars.
• Age of the driver While you hire a car in
  Greece, make sure that you have attained the age
  of 23 years and not above 70 years. Along with
  this, you should also carry an International
  driving license followed by two years of driving
  experience. Moving ahead, only the driver
  referred in the contract with the car hiring
  company is eligible to drive the vehicle, until
  unless the name of the second driver is not
  mentioned in the contract.

5. Look for additional features Although the car
rented in Greece is not an exception to the cars
rented across the world in terms of features
embellished in it. But, still, if you are
concerned about specific features like the
integration of GPS, child seat or anything
extra, make sure to bring this in the notice of
car renting group. Along with this, you can also
let the company know about the transmission
offered in the car, whether automatic or with
the manual gear transmission system.

• Documents required If you are a traveler from a
  non-European country then you will be required
  to carry an IDP and your driving license.
  According to recent traffic laws introduced in
  May 2018, in case if you are found breaking the
  law, then the heavy fine will be levied on both
  the visitor and the car renting group. Here, it
  would be important to mention that there are
  lots of car renting groups which do not inform
  their foreign clients for carrying their
  international driving license while renting the
  car from them. On the contrary, they mention a
  clause, according to which the person hiring the
  car will be required to pay the fine, in case if
  he is caught by the traffic police for violating
  the laws. Apart from this, you will be also
  required to carry your passport or ID and the
  credit card as a security.
• What type of vehicle to hire If you are going
  out to visit the sites located in the
  surrounding towns, then the best idea is to take
  a flight or travel on a bus or train according
  to your convenience. But, in case if you want to
  go out for shopping or visit the local sites and
  famous destinations, then hiring a taxi is the
  best option. However, the vehicle that you hire
  should be according to the number of persons
  accompanying your group, because nobody will
  prefer to visit the beautiful places of this
  iconic country by keeping his luggage on his
  laps.
• Considering the tips mentioned-above for car hire
  in Greece will help you in enjoying your
  holidays to this ancient country to its fullest
  meaning it is known for.
