# VRENTY CAR — Car Rental Greece

> Independent car rental comparison service and travel guide for Greece. We compare local Greek agencies and international chains and explain how renting really works: no-deposit options, full insurance (SCDW), real 2026 prices, tolls, the 2025 traffic code, and airport pick-up nationwide. We are not a rental company; always confirm terms with the provider before booking.

## Key facts (2026)
- Full insurance (Super CDW / SCDW / Full Damage Waiver) ~€10–€23/day reduces the excess to zero; with many local agencies this means no deposit is blocked.
- Basic CDW leaves an excess of ~€800–€1,500 pre-authorised on a credit card.
- "Full insurance" often still excludes tyres, wheels, glass, mirrors, undercarriage and lost keys unless explicitly listed; unpaved roads void cover.
- Economy cars average ~€18/day (from ~€15 low season). Cheapest months: Nov–Dec. Cheapest islands: Kos, Rhodes, Crete (Heraklion).
- Mainland motorways are tolled (Attiki Odos ~€2.55/car); islands have no tolls; an e-pass works nationwide.
- 2025 traffic code (from 13 Sep 2025): phone in hand €350 + 30-day suspension; seatbelts mandatory in every seat (€150 each); speeding 50+ km/h over €700 + 60-day suspension.
- EU/EEA licences accepted directly; non-EU drivers need an International Driving Permit. Minimum age usually 21.
- Most agencies don't allow the car on a ferry — rent one car per island.
