Car rental offices are available at Zakynthos International Airport "Dionysios Solomos", at the main port in Zakynthos Town, and in popular resort areas such as Laganas, Tsilivi, Argassi, and Alykes. Some hotels also offer car delivery through rental partners.

You need a valid driver’s license held for at least one year (EU licenses are accepted), a passport or ID card, a credit card in the driver’s name, and your booking voucher.

The minimum age is usually 21, but many rental companies require drivers to be at least 23 for certain vehicle categories, such as convertibles, larger SUVs, and premium cars. Drivers under 25 may be charged a young driver fee.

One-way rentals within Zakynthos usually have little or no extra fee because the island is small and travel distances are short. However, taking rental cars on ferries to mainland Greece (such as Kyllini Port) or other islands is almost always prohibited due to limited fleet size and high summer demand. Island-hopping with rental cars is not allowed, so it is better to rent separate vehicles if you plan to visit other islands.

No, there are no toll roads on Zakynthos or the Ionian islands. You can drive anywhere on the island without extra charges.

Yes, FindYCar offers long-term rentals in Zakynthos, especially weekly and monthly options with discounted daily rates compared to short-term rentals. Long-term rentals are popular for extended holidays, seasonal work, or exploring the island at a relaxed pace.

Yes, FindYCar offers car rentals in Zakynthos without a deposit. Use the "No deposit" filter when searching for a vehicle.

Most rental companies in Zakynthos require a credit card in the driver's name for the security deposit. However, FindYCar offers some vehicles that can be booked using a debit card. To find these options, select the "Debit card" filter when searching for a car. Availability may be limited. Note: ATVs, quads, and scooters from local operators may accept debit cards or cash deposits more readily than car rentals.

The cost is typically €5-10 per day or €30-60 per week. Child seats are mandatory in Greece for children under 12 years old or shorter than 135 cm.

Prices vary by season, car class, and rental length: economy cars around €25-55/day, compact cars €30-65/day, convertibles €60-140/day, SUVs/jeeps €60-130/day.
