10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Mount Athos

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your trip.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your journey. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in congested areas. Mid-size options offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years of age may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards as a form of payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Rental car insurance can help you evade unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
