• Car Driver’s License: The driver must hold a valid European or an International Driver’s License (IDL) driver’s license issued for at least a year. An IDL is mandatory for all non-EU drivers renting a vehicle in Greece.
  • Scooter/Motorcycle Driver’s License: The driver must hold a valid European or an International Driver’s License (IDL) driver’s license (Category A, A1, or A2) issued for at least a year. Renters must be at least 21 years of age and have prior experience operating the type of vehicle being rented.
  • Buggy/Quad/ATV Driver’s License: The driver must hold a valid European or an International Driver’s License (IDL) driver’s license issued for at least a year. A valid category B (car) driving license is required to legally drive these vehicles. Renters must be at least 23 years of age and have prior experience operating the type of vehicle being rented. Individuals holding an A, A1, or A2 motorcycle license cannot operate a Buggy or Quad or ATV.
  • Liability: The hirer is responsible for any damage caused to the vehicle during the rental period.
  • Fuel Policy: All vehicles must be returned with the same fuel level as at pickup. Additional charges may apply during drop-off if the fuel level is lower than at pick-up.
  • Credit Card Requirement: A credit card is required for vehicle rental as a warranty. If the credit card is under a different name than the driver, this must be noted and included in the rental agreement as an additional driver. The deposit amount will be temporarily blocked as a guarantee during pickup and release after the drop-off, when extra charges won't apply; the amount depends on the insurance type corresponding to the excess/deductible amount.
  • Debit or Cash Card: If the hirer does not have a credit card, a Debit or Cash card is acceptable only if the amount requested is available for charging and if additional insurance is purchased. The damage deposit will be the excess/deductible amount of the insurance purchased. The damage deposit will then be charged upon arrival in full and will be refunded in the same manner when the vehicle is dropped off in the same condition.
  • Cash Deposit Option: If the hirer does not have a credit card, a cash deposit option is available only if additional insurance is purchased. The cash deposit will be the excess/deductible amount. Also, it must be paid at the time of vehicle pickup and will be refunded in the same manner when the vehicle is dropped off in the same condition.
  • Required Documents: To rent a vehicle, the hirer must present a valid driver’s license, an official form of identification (passport or national ID), and a credit/debit/cash card or cash for the deposit.

Age Requirements

The minimum age requirement to rent a car is typically 20 years old, with a valid driver's license held for at least one year. However, drivers under 23 years old are subject to a Young Driver surcharge.

For senior drivers, the maximum age limit for renting is 80 years old. Drivers over 70 years old are subject to a Senior Driver surcharge.

What If I Do Not Meet the Rental Requirements?

If the hirer does not meet the rental requirements (e.g., age, driver’s license, credit card), Polos Rent A Car & Rental Agency will not be held liable. The reservation will be canceled, and no refund will be provided for the total cost.

Can I Rent a Car with a Non-International License?

We accept most non-international driver's licenses; however, licenses issued in some locations may require an International Driving Permit (IDP). For further clarification or additional information, please feel free to contact us.
