Top tips for hiring a car from Budget in Athens

  • Book Budget car hires in Athens from one of two major branches and get to explore the capital of Greece at the pace you prefer. The city still holds so much heritage from Greece’s ancient civilization, including 5th-century BC landmarks such as the Acropolis and the Parthenon Temple. Explore the history of Greece at The Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum, which preserve artefacts from yesteryear. Athens is also buzzing with great nightlife spots and beautiful beaches such as Astir Beach Club and Akti Vouliagmenis Beach. Mount Parnitha National Park is a short drive away and has awe-inspiring mountains, while nearby Napflio is a Venetian-inspired, elegant, palm-fringed small town with a trendy harbour to stroll around.
  • When you book Budget car hires in Athens you will either book via KAYAK for the airport branch, or you can always fetch your car hire later in downtown Athens. Athens Airport’s branch of Budget trades from 7:00 am until midnight, 7 days a week. The downtown branch, which is based on Leof. Andrea Siggrou in Athina, trades from 8:00 am until 8:45 pm. You will need to either return the car from the same collection spot, or make one-way deals with your Budget branch. Budget works on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning if you return the car with less petrol in it, you will be charged car rental agency rates. Fuel at a petrol station is cheaper, so ensure you do it before you drop off the car.
  • If you plan on enjoying longer journeys when you book Budget car hire in Athens, consider additional extras that will make your road trips convenient and safe. Get covered with Roadside Assistance Plus to help with issues such as flat batteries, frozen fuel, keys locked in cars, flat tyres and more. You can also hire a GPD tracker to assist with navigation or age-appropriate car seats for the children in your travelling party.
  • When embarking on Greece road trips, don’t bear the brunt of the drive alone. Book an additional driver to share the load and you can get to see the sights or have a back-up if you get sick during your trip to Athens. You can pre-book the additional driver online, get insurance and take them to the collection point with you to show their identification and driver’s licence at the agency.
  • Book your car hire from Budget in Athens at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price.
  • Mini car hire from Budget in Athens are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average.
