Thessaloniki Airport is known as one of the biggest airports in Greece. It is the main aircraft facility in the northern region of the country. It handles approximately 4 million people a year. Thessaloniki Airport is the third busiest facility in Greece. Aktis Car offers to hire a car from Thessaloniki airport on the most convenient terms.

Why rent a car?

Greece may not be the largest country of the EU, but cities, famous sights and touristic places are located quite far away from each other. Public transport isn't the most comfortable or convenient way of moving around. Taking a taxi can be quite expensive, especially if you take it at the airport, where the prices are really high.

This is why so many travelers opt for car hire at Thessaloniki airport. It allows you to go wherever and whenever you need.

We recently hired a Toyota Corolla hybrid car for 2 weeks from Aktis Rental, Thessaloniki, and drove around north Greece. The service was excellent. They delivered the car at the airport and we left it in Thessaloniki. We had no problems with the car. The deposit for insurance was re-imbursed immediately on handing the car back. The prices were very reasonable. We'll be using them again next time we visit Greece. Ευχαριστω παρα πολυ.

I always use this company for car rentals. They always have several cars of different classes to choose from, depending on my needs. I'd like to say a big thank you to Anna and Savva, they're very attentive and responsible. The cars are always clean and have a full tank, which is important.

We rented a VW Polo for about 10 days (late Sep to early Oct) and drove from Thessaloniki to Kassandra, to the mountains around Arnea, to Kerkini lake and back to Thessaloniki.

Pickup was helpful, quick and thorough with all scuffs and marks recorded on documentation and off we went.

Return was also flexible and came clear directions for drop off.

All in all, we recommend Aktis for our rental car needs in Thessaloniki and its surrounds!

I will definitely be a return customer next summer. From start to finish this was a great experience and I am so happy I chose Aktis to rent a car from. When I told others what rate I received and the type of car, they were blown away. Pickup and drop off right at departures/arrivals made things so easy on myself and family as the parking lot can get full at SKG. Wish I had known of aktis previous years I visited! thank you for everything????

Very good organization, there are Russian-speaking managers. The car was driven to the hotel and picked up from the hotel, which saved us time.

Traffic features

In order to get to Thessaloniki after you hired a car, you need to follow the national road 67 and then enter either the road 16 at the intersection by taking a left turn. In case you take a right turn, the route will get you to Perea. Road 16 goes near the coastline and allows to get to Kalamaria Municipality of Thessaloniki.

In order to get to Thessaloniki ring road, you need to proceed by the road 67 a little longer and then take a left turn at the second intersection to the national road 24. In case you are going to Chalkidiki, take a right turn at the intersection.

Useful tips

There are a lot of petrol stations nearby the facility. If you go along the road 67 out of the airport on the intersection with road 16, there are BP and Aegean petrol stations. As you go to Thessaloniki there are Shell, BP, Elin and local petrol stations.

Do you want to wash a car? The closest car wash service to the Thessaloniki Airport is located along the road 16. It's called Aris dr.car wash. If you choose the route 24 you can stop at I-wash, which is a little farther from the facility. In Thessaloniki there are plenty of car wash services for any type of vehicle.

Required documents

Make sure that you have an International Driver's Permit (or EU Driver Permit), as well as your Passport or ID Card with a photo with you. Your driver's license should be issued at least 2 years ago. Absence of these documents will make it impossible to sign a contract.

Don't forget! When giving the car back, the tank should contain the same amount of gas it had when it was given to you.
