1️⃣ You must have the appropriate driving licence

To rent a car in Greece:

  • You must be at least 23 years old
  • Have a valid driving licence for at least 1 year

2️⃣ Choose the right pickup point

Drive in Halkidiki offers pickup from:

  • Nea Moudania Halkidiki
  • Kallithea Halkidiki
  • Thessaloniki Airport (SKG)

If you’re arriving by flight, it’s best to pick up at the airport to save time and transport.


3️⃣ Check what insurance includes

Basic insurance is included, but you can choose additional coverages (e.g. reduced deductible, full stress-free insurance). Ask for information before pickup.

💡 A little extra coverage can save you headaches in case of damage.
