Question 1

What documents do I need to rent a car in Santorini?

Accepted Answer

A valid driving licence held for at least one year, a passport or national ID, and a credit card in the main driver's name. Non-EU licences should be accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP) when the original is not in Latin script.

Question 2

Is the price really all-inclusive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every rate on this site includes CDW, theft protection, unlimited kilometres, airport / port surcharges, VAT, a second driver, and roadside assistance. Optional extras (booster seats, additional drivers beyond two, full tank refuel) are clearly priced if you choose to add them.

Question 3

Can you deliver the car to my hotel?

Accepted Answer

Free delivery and collection at any hotel or villa in Fira, Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, and Kamari. A small fee applies for further locations on the island — shown at checkout before you confirm.

Question 4

What happens if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before pickup — no questions, full refund. Cancellations within 48 hours retain the first day's rental as a fee. We never charge a non-refundable booking deposit.

Question 5

Do you take a security deposit?

Accepted Answer

A pre-authorisation of €300–€800 is held on your credit card depending on vehicle category. Nothing is actually charged unless the car is returned damaged outside the included CDW. The hold is released within 5–10 business days of return.

Question 6

Can I take the car off Santorini to another island?

Accepted Answer

Inter-island travel is not permitted. Our cars are insured and supported on Santorini only — please return the vehicle to us before any onward ferry. If you're hopping islands, we'll happily collect the car at Athinios port for you.
