Rental duration
Rental days are calculated on a 24-hour basis, with
a grace period of 3 hours (later return will mean an extra day is
charged).
How you
pick up your car
A Thrifty car rental employee will meet you at the arranged
location (e.g. airport, as you come out of the arrivals hall), holding
up a sign showing your name. Or receive the car at your hotel.
Drivers will need to show their passport and a valid credit card in
their own name when they pick up the car.
Petrol/fuel
Your car is delivered with at least half a tank of
petrol. If you return it with less, you are charged for the difference.
If you return it with more, there is no refund on unused fuel.
If you would like your car to be delivered with a full tank of petrol (e.g. because you have a long journey), please advise us and it will be
arranged.You can then return the car with a full tank, or pay for the difference.
How you pay
Payment is made by credit card. Accepted credit
cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express.
The rental contract will be signed and you will show
your credit card to the Thrifty employee who will meet you with your
car.
Driver's age & licence
Driver(s) must be 21 years old or more. A valid driving license must have been held
for at least 12 months before the start of the rental.
European driving licenses and other licenses showing information in the
English language are accepted.
US driver's licenses are accepted - but technically/legally all non-European Union driver's license holders should have an international driving permit.
It is therefore, best to get an International driving permit from AAA or from the National Automobile Club - you can apply by mail or obtain a permit at any AAA office while you wait, forms can be downloaded if you prefer, here.
You need two passport style photos (2" x 2" ) & permits cost only $15.00.
Do Note: Your standard Driving License AND the Permit must be carried together (a permit on its own is not always accepted).
Other locations in Greece
We can offer you a car in other areas of Greece as well: e.g. Athens, Santorini, Thessaloniki, Kalamata, Peloponnesse. (The same rates & terms apply)
