Why rent a car?

Greece may be not the biggest country in Europe, yet there are some significant distances between cities, sea coasts and beaches here. Traveling somewhere from Thessaloniki may be difficult with a public transport, while taking a taxi is pretty expensive.

This is why renting a car is the best option used by many tourists and travelers. Driving a car on your own makes you free in the choice of a route, time and schedule.

We came to Greece for a month as we always do every year. We rented a car from Aktis and the price was very very reasonable. Furthermore, the car was very well maintained and economical and the people working for Aktis were super friendly and helpful. Everything was excellent, no scams, we got our deposit back immediately after giving the car back. We picked up the car at the airport even on a Sunday afternoon with a smile and we gave the car back and everything was really smooth. We will be ren

We rented a car in august 2023 and drove over 1500km with it without any problems. Good car for 4 people with spacious trunk. We are satisfied with the very attentive and customer oriented service company offered.

There was a plenty amount of damages on the car and there was a little fear that upon receipt something was left unnoticed and could be charged to us, but everything was adequate and we fully received our deposit back. The value for money was very good and if we will come back to Thes

Traffic features

There are both free and paid roads in Greece, so make sure to have some extra money while driving. For example, the road from Athens to Thessaloniki is a paid one. But if you go Halkidiki, the road is free of charge.

Important! Greece has various types of roads, such as roundabouts, highways, country roads, etc. Some of them are not an easy task for an inexperienced driver, especially mountain ones.

Useful tips

Thessaloniki is Greece's second biggest city. It has quite a busy and fast traffic, which can be dangerous for drivers with little experience. Make sure to look around while driving – motorbikes and bicycles can easily get into a “blind spot” and be ignored by a car's driver. So, before you turn left or right check out the current situation on the road. You're also recommended to stop at all crossroads in order to look around.

Finding a parking lot in the center of Thessaloniki can be a difficult task. The majority of them are taken and at some places parking is prohibited. Ignoring red traffic light can cost you a fine of 700 euros. The driver and passengers have to fasten seatbelts. If you break this rule, you will be required to pay a fine of 350 euros and won't be able to drive for at least 10 days.

Required documents

In order to hire a car from Aktis Car, you need to have the following documents:

  1. Driver's license that is valid in Greece;
  2. Passport or Identity Card;
  3. International Driving Permit for the driver's license issued outside of the EU;
  4. Driver's License and Passport for additional driver in case there is one.

Important! You will get a car with the full tank. When you give it back it should be full as well. Just find a gas station nearby and add up some petrol. In case you ignore this rule, the company will apply fees for the fuel.

With Aktis Car traveling is easy and exciting. We will make sure that you enjoy our service. Driving your own vehicle makes you free to choose the route of your journey. Hire a car today and you will be able to experience Greece at its best!
