Renting a car at Kalamata Airport: What documents do I need?

Although a reservation confirmation and a credit card are not required to rent a car at Kalamata Airport, two documents are essential:

  • Driver's license
  • Credit card.
Traffic Rules

Traffic Rules

Driving in this region is a relaxed but focused experience that requires you to adapt to the local "Messenian flow." Blending into the traffic is easy when you adhere to these regulations while renting a car at Kalamata Airport:

  1. Use the right-hand lane as the standard driving side.
  2. Alcohol limits stand at 0.05% for standard drivers, tightening to 0.02% for those licensed for less than two years.
  3. Speed caps are 50 km/h throughout urban areas, 90 km/h on regional connections, 110 km/h on expressway stretches.
  4. Watch for slow-moving tractors on rural paths, as local farmers often share the main ways with travelers during the harvest.
  5. Give extra space to livestock, especially goats, who often claim the warm asphalt as their preferred afternoon napping spot.
Parking

Parking

To ditch your vehicle in the heart of town, look for the blue-marked curbside zones where you can stay for roughly €1 per hour during the day.

If you want to keep the interior cool while you explore the marina, head for the secure shaded lots near the municipal market, which offer all-day protection for a flat rate of about €8 to €12.

Gas Stations

Gas Stations

When it’s time to top up, prioritize the massive, brightly lit hubs like EKO, BP, or Shell found along the main coastal highway.

You can expect to pay between €1.83 and €1.93 per liter for 95-octane unleaded. Although major stations accept cards, it’s smart to carry some Euros for small mountain pumps.

Toll Roads

Toll Roads

Cruising toward Tripoli or Athens involves a modern network where you'll encounter physical barriers to access.

A trip toward the capital will set you back about €2.20 at the first gate, and while you can pay with cash or card, most rentals feature a small electronic tag that lets you use the "Express" lanes and settle the bill later.
