Drivers from 21 years old with an international license and driving experience of 1 year or more can rent a car in Athens without a deposit.

Calculate all the costs of a rental car in Athens (cars are issued 24 hours a day):
- Figure out the cost of fuel (note that many local gas stations are only open until the evening);
- consider the availability of toll roads (tolls range from 2 to 13 EUR);
- calculate the cost of parking (from 0.5 EUR per hour).
The roads of Greece are in decent condition, but there are nuances that should be taken into account by everyone who rented a car in Athens inexpensively: traffic in the capital is chaotic enough, a lot of traffic jams, to explore the city, you have to drive on mountain roads - serpentines.
