Average Car Rental Prices in Athens

Renting a car in Athens is an excellent way to explore the city and the historical sites of Greece at your own pace. On average, visitors can expect to pay around €30 to €50 per day for a small to a medium-sized car. This rate typically includes basic insurance coverage, but it can vary widely depending on the car rental company, the type of car, and the time of year. For example, prices may spike in the peak tourist season (June to August), while you can find better deals during the off-peak months (November to March).

Travelers looking for more comfort or traveling with a group may opt for larger vehicles or SUVs, which can cost upwards of €60 per day. Additionally, renting luxury cars or vehicles with automatic transmission can further increase the cost. To secure the best rates, it's advised to book your rental car well in advance, especially during high season.
