car rentals in Athens
 
Hi All,
I've procrastinated doing the leg work for a car rental in Athens.
We hope to pick one up at the airport for our drive to Napflio.
I know I've seen rental sites recommended and I thought I wrote them down but I guess not.
We need a car for 4 people (and all our luggage!)
Can anyone recommend a car rental place to check out?
Our trip is in less than two weeks.
Thanks.
Bettina

We always use AutoEurope, based in Maine. They are a broker for different car rental companies and will get you a good rate.

If you plan to use a GPS while in Greece be sure the system does not route you through Central Athens on the way to Nafplion. Stay on the National Highway around the city. Be sure to go to your local AAA office to pick up an International Driving Permit, no test required.

HappyTrvlr,
Maybe because I'm last minute the rates are high.........over $300 for the 4 days?
