Athens Eleftherios V. Airport stands as the main airport serving the capital city of Athens and is around a 30min drive to the city centre. Although you can use public transport in Athens, and there are several options for getting to the city centre and around the city, Athens Eleftherios V. Airport car hire is one of the most convenient ways to get around the city. Hiring a car at the airport eliminates the need to wait for public transport or pay for a taxi to get to where you need to go.
It is generally quicker and easier to pick up car hire at Athens Eleftherios V. Airport than picking one up in the city centre. Most of the rental agencies at the airport don't require you to drop the car off at the airport after renting. Instead, you can arrange to drop the vehicle off in central Athens or at the Piraeus ferry port.
If you're looking for the best deals when it comes to car hire at Athens Eleftherios V. Airport, KAYAK recommends booking your car hire as far in advance as you can rather than trying to find a deal on arrival. It's also typically cheaper to book a rental car during the week, as the weekends are often less affordable. We also suggest hiring an economy or mini vehicle as these are typically cheaper.
Car hire companies at Athens Eleftherios V. Airport are located on the main Arrivals level after Baggage Claim. You can make your way to your rental agency kiosk here to fill out the forms, get the keys, and arrange to be taken to your vehicle. The parking lot for car rentals at Athens Airport is a short walk away from the main terminal and can be found by following the signs. The parking lot is busier over the weekends but often not too busy.
Book your car hire at Athens Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos) at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I had nothing but electrical problems with vehicle. Sixt asked me to take car to mechanics. Key Fob would not work and we were locked out of our car and had to take a taxi home. Next day road side assistance could not get into the car because doors were locked so locksmith had to be called and I had to pay for taxi and locksmith. Called sixt many many times in 3 days, was told would be getting a significant refund and they only paid for 3 days rental. Worst experience ever. Customer Service was the worst, made promises they didn’t keep and we even upgraded to a bigger vehicle and paid in total $3500 Canadian dollars for 6 weeks and had nothing but issues. I would rate them a negative 20.

As I reached out earlier this trip the initial rental car I rented did not have properly working A/C, I was not angry or rude and the agency did eventually meet me in Elefsina to exchange the car. As I continued my trip we went to Kynthos were I ended up getting a flat tire on 6/12.. I immediately call green motion to report the incident. They became irate with me and kept stating I should not have taken the car to the island, which I was not aware of(which I will take responsibility if it was in the contract and I missed it). When I returned from the island I took the car To the shop and had a new tire put on the car. When I returned the car I turned in the keys and loaded my families stuff in the shuttle. A gentleman checked the car and I was issued a refund for the deposit. We started down the road in the shuttle when the driver got a call and did a u turn in the road with no explanation. I then asked are we going back and he said yes “the lady needs to talk to you.” At this point it would be considered in the United States that my family and I were being kidnapped as I was being taken against my will. ( I’m not sure The law in Greece) I was then asked to come back in the office where the lady told me the tire is “broken” I said no it’s not it is replaced. She said I had to replace two tires since I got a flat on one. I said I read the policy and did not see that anywhere just that I needed to replace the damaged tire. She then started filling out a claim which I did not understand. At this point I got my father-in-law on the phone( who speaks Greek). The employees became very angry and it became apparent I was not going to be able to leave. I asked them can I please be taken to the airport in which they replied no. I said charge me for the tire and let me go they said I could not leave and I had to wait for a mechanic. I then asked them directly am I being held against my will to which I received no reply. I asked a 2nd time am I being held against my will or can I take my luggage and leave. An employee then told me yes leave and take your luggage. I then had to remove my 3 kids, wife, 3 checked bags, 5 book bags, two car seats, and a carry on out of the shuttle by myself and start walking down the sidewalk to get to the airport. It is very apparent to me know that they were trying to coerce my into doing what they want because they knew I needed the shuttle to the airport. I would recommend kayak looking into this before allowing them to be used on your site. At no point should I have been forced to walked down the road with my 3 young kids and all my luggage.

First the pickup location was 15 min away from the airport which was not clear when making the reservation. It was also not made clear that the shuttle would be dependent on our pickup time so we sat at the shuttle pickup for an hour before calling Green Motion and then waited another 30 min for the shuttle and then took almost 20 min to reach their location. We ended up being switched to an earlier flight so we were an hour an a half early for our 7pm pickup. They were willing to move the pickup up an hour but made us sit there and wait 17 min literally watching the clock in order to pickup the car that was sitting right outside. They said if we wanted it early we would have to pay an additional amount that was 2.5x what we had already paid even though our rental was only for 19 hours to begin with they wanted to charge us for 2 additional days, for 17 min. The man who checked us in was pretty unfriendly and uncommunicative. They were nicer when we returned the car and the shuttle drivers were nice but this also ate up an extra hour of our day because of the distance from the airport. All in all we spent an extra 3.5-4 hours to save $20 vs picking a car up from a company at or closer to the airport. If we knew that we never would have chosen this company.

Had to take a taxi to the remote location (25 euros) where we found customer service agents shouting at customers. Opted to NOT follow through with renting from them after taking with another distressed customer in-person. Filmed a bit of what was happening and then my partner and I walk to the nearest (sketchy) bus stop. Soon after the manger (I can only assume because he wasn't wearing any official outfit) confronted us and threaten to call the cops because "filming us is illegal." Being in a foreign country and having this happening is extraordinarily stressful and incredibly unprofessional. So much so that just writing this and remembering what happened is stressing me out because it was legitimately traumatizing. I recorded this interaction on my phone in its entirety and will be posting it to warn others. We felt SO unsafe that we quickly ran across the 4-lane highway and flagged down a another taxi (30 additional euros) to get back to the airport... where we were worried for our lives because we didn't know if Green Motion's Manager was going to call a hit on us or bribe local police or something. Kayak customer service, if you're reading this, please contact me for additional details as this business shouldn't even be on your website.

Pleased with Avance car rental experience. Pick up and drop off at Athens airport was straightforward. We received a low mileage Renault Cleo which performed well. Big enough to haul 3 adults and carry ons, yet small enough to navigate the roads and parking in Greece. Prices this year in Greece seem high everywhere, yet felt we received fair value from the pricing we received from Kayak/Avance. Would use them again.

The pick up at Athens airport was long and frustrating. There were people shopping for cars like a menu at a restaurant while client like us had already finished and paid online and just waiting for the key. There should be a separate line for those that had their reservation confirmed and paid. Drop off was easy. Plus the agent tried to sell us an upgrade version once he knew where we are staying. He could have been more discrete and less obvious in his approach!

Hi, for several years I was renting a car from Europecar and all went wey, and i was very satisfied. This time i felt that i was treated in a dis-honest way. I was supposed to get a Full-to-Full tank and instead i got a less than 3/8 tank. It caused me an over expanse of 25 euros. The car is not comfortable and impossible to drive constantly for more than 1 hour. I returned the car 2 days ago and my back and leg still hurt and in pain. I doubt if next time I’ll rent a car from Europecar

“Bad experience: Had to wait 4 hours, from 8am to moon to pickup the car, even though they had the car available because the reservation with Expedia was made for 12pm/ noon and they can’t make changes to the reservation because supposedly was a third party agreement. The car was returned at 8am. Dose not make sense!!!!

Kayak wrote in the standardized response that an e-mail would come from Europcar as confirmation, but that did not occur. The processor used by Kayak (not Europcar) wrote in a standardized response that the rental was confirmed. The Europcar website was not available several times when it was checked. At arrival, Europcar had the confirmation number Kayak/Kayak's processor had provided and the rental experience was excellent.
