What Should I Do If I Get Into a Car Accident With a Rental Car in Greece?
If you have an accident in your rental car from GPA, prioritize safety, call the police (100) and emergency services (112), and then immediately contact your rental company. Do not admit fault. Document everything with photos and exchange information with the other party. A police report is essential for any insurance claim.

What Should I Know About Refueling My Rental Car in Greece?
Always confirm your rental's fuel policy, which is typically 'full-to-full'. Know the correct fuel type: 'Amolivdi' (unleaded) or 'Petreleo' (diesel). Be aware that many gas stations, especially in rural areas and on islands, are not open 24/7 and may only accept cash. Plan your refills accordingly and always keep the final receipt to show the rental agency upon return.

Driving in Araxos

Essential car rental and driving tips for exploring the Araxos region and Peloponnese

Can I drive with my US license in Greece, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
US citizens need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your US license to rent a car in Greece. The IDP translates your license into Greek, and rental agencies routinely request it. You can get an IDP through AAA for about $20. Without it, you may be turned away at the counter, especially at Araxos Airport where police checks on rental cars are common.
I'm 22—will I face a young driver surcharge, and how much is it?
Yes, expect a young driver surcharge of roughly €25-35 per day if you're under 25. Drivers under 21 generally cannot rent cars at most agencies in Greece. At 22, you'll pay the young driver fee but can access most vehicle categories. Book in advance online—last-minute airport pickups at Araxos often have limited inventory, and young driver fees run higher at the counter than pre-booked rates.
How do I pay for toll roads in the Peloponnese, and are they expensive?
The major Patras-Athens highway (Olympia Odos) uses electronic tolls—no cash lanes at some sections. Rentals usually come with a pre-installed e-tag (a small device on the windshield), and tolls get charged to your rental agreement. Expect to pay roughly €10-15 for the Araxos-to-Athens leg. If your rental lacks an e-tag, you must stop at toll booths and pay manually—don't miss the booth or you'll face a fine.
How challenging are the local roads around Araxos for someone used to American highways?
Rural Peloponnese roads are significantly narrower and more winding than US highways—often just one lane in each direction with no shoulder. Mountain curves can be sharp, and some coastal roads have steep drops without guardrails. GPS signals can be unreliable in deep valleys. Drive cautiously, honk on blind curves as locals do, and avoid night driving on unfamiliar routes. Main highways to Patras (about 40 km) are in decent condition.
Do I need winter tires or snow chains in the Araxos area?
Required from November through April if you're heading into the mountainous interior of the Peloponnese (including the mountain pass toward Tripoli). Snow chains cost about €15-25 at gas stations if you're not provided them. The coastal Araxos area itself rarely sees snow or ice, but the moment you venture into the Helmos mountain range, conditions change rapidly. Winter rain makes mountain roads slippery—reduce speed and keep a safe distance.
What type of fuel do Greek rental cars use, and is the 'full-to-full' policy standard?
Nearly all Greek rentals run on unleaded gasoline (benzine), labeled as '95' or '98 octane at pumps. Diesel is available but not for most passenger rentals—verify before filling. Most agencies use a 'full-to-full' policy: you get a full tank and must return it full. Fuel costs roughly €1.80-2.10 per liter (about $7-8 per gallon). Gas stations are plentiful along highways but sparser in rural areas—don't let your tank drop below a quarter tank on back-road trips.
