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.

Great office! We rented the car for three weeks, the car was in good technical condition, there were no malfunctions during the rental period. The car is spacious, clean, powerful and, at the same time, economical (we took an Opel Insignia, diesel). I was also very pleased with the service for transferring and accompanying the car: our manager Anna was constantly in touch (phone, WhatsApp). Despite the rather early arrival (about 8 am) and late departure (about 10:30 pm), we received the car and

We rented a convertible car for a week. We quickly contacted and agreed to rent and deliver the car the next day to the hotel.
The car is clean, fully operational, no complaints. It was very helpful that we could communicate in Russian and leave a deposit in cash, which really helped us in an unusual situation.
If necessary, we promptly kept in touch throughout the rental period. They go to the meeting and treat the problem with understanding

Very easy to book online and confirmed immediately. Prices are good and we appreciated the drop off at Aretsou Marina and the fact that you could insure an extra driver at no extra cost. Car was good but the best was the delivery chap who gave us recommendations of things to see in the area. Definitely recommend this company and would use again.

Great car rental company! Individual approach, we handed over and picked up the car where it was convenient for us, provided us with a Green Card to travel to Serbia! We use it all the time and will recommend it to everyone ????
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:
Driver's license that is valid in Greece;
Passport or Identity Card;
International Driving Permit for the driver's license issued outside of the EU;
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!
