Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a rental car for sightseeing inside the center of Athens?

Honestly, driving in the historic center of Athens can be challenging for visitors due to heavy traffic and limited parking. For city sightseeing, we recommend using the Metro or buses. However, renting a car becomes the ideal choice for day trips or multi-day excursions outside Athens. With our professional guidance and GPS, getting out of the city is easy and safe, allowing you to discover the real Greece at your own pace.

Can I rent a car in Athens without a credit card?

Yes. At RAC, we offer the flexibility to rent your vehicle using a debit card or cash for the balance, provided you have selected the appropriate insurance options during your booking. We believe in making your travel experience as stress-free and accessible as possible.
