Cheap Car Rental Greece: Best of FindYCar

Scattered across turquoise seas, the country’s 6,000 islands shimmer with ancient temples, whitewashed villages, and timeless beauty. While most visitors stick to ferries and Athenian ruins, those who venture inland find mountain monasteries, coastal fishing towns, and olive-lined roads leading to hidden beaches. Exploring by vehicle reveals a deeper side of the country – where mythology, history, and Mediterranean charm unfold at every turn.

Ferries eat your schedule and budget while buses connect only major towns, leaving the best discoveries – hidden monasteries, deserted beaches, mountain villages – tantalizingly out of reach. Here’s why you need a car rental in Greece:

• Reach impossible places: Meteora’s cliff monasteries, Vikos Gorge, and Mani’s tower villages require wheels – public transport doesn’t venture there
• Island exploration freedom: Crete, Rhodes, and Corfu hide their magic inland, where buses rarely go – mountain villages, gorges, and empty beaches
• Beach-hop endlessly: Find your own secluded cove instead of sharing organized beach tour crowds at the same three spots.

The perfect rental experience is always within reach with FindYCar. No credit card, guaranteed model, additional driver, for cash, no deposit, insurance, and other extras are available at any time. Book Now.

Major highways charge fees with booths that accept cash or cards.

Expect €2-3 for short sections and up to €15-20 for long stretches, such as Athens to Thessaloniki.
