Car rental in
Athens
Renting a car in Athens with Sync is nothing like the traditional rental experience. Forget the rental counter, the airport queues, and the classic "we don't have what you booked, but here's something similar." On Sync, you browse dozens of cars currently in Athens, see the exact make, model, color, and reviews from previous renters, and book the one you actually want — in under 5 minutes.
Every car belongs to local hosts — individuals renting out their own vehicle or small local rental businesses. That means more variety, more competitive pricing (from around €20/day), and personal service instead of a call center. Prices are shown upfront, with no hidden fees at the "counter."
Delivery is wherever suits you — Athens International Airport, your hotel, Airbnb, Piraeus port, or any address in Attica. Your host brings the car to you, no shuttle bus to an off-site lot.
If you're staying in the city center, you may not need a car — the metro and buses cover most areas well. But if you're planning to visit Cape Sounion, Lake Vouliagmeni, the beaches of Artemida, or take a day trip to Nafplio or Delphi, a car makes a huge difference. On Sync, you can rent for as little as one day.

Where to drive from Athens
With a car, Athens becomes a base for exploring all of central Greece and the Peloponnese. Cape Sounion is an hour away. Nafplio and Delphi, about two hours. In Attica, beaches like Vouliagmeni, Artemida, and Schinias are easy to reach without relying on public buses. Every day trip starts with a car — book yours on Sync.
Driving and parking in Athens — what to know
Traffic in central Athens can be heavy, especially during rush hours (8-10am, 5-8pm). If you're staying downtown, use the metro for city trips and keep the car for out-of-center excursions. Parking: public garages at Monastiraki, Syntagma, and the port cost €2-4/hour. In the suburbs (Kifisia, Glyfada, Voula), parking is much easier.
What cars are popular in Athens?
The most popular cars on Sync in Athens are compacts (perfect for narrow streets and easy parking) and SUVs (ideal for families and road trips). If you're looking for something special — a Tesla Model 3, BMW 3 Series, Porsche Cayenne, or a convertible for the coastal roads — you'll find it on Sync. Every car belongs to a local host with real photos, reviews, and an exact daily price.
FAQs
What do I need to rent a car with Sync?
To rent a car on Sync, you need to create an account with your email, be 18 years or older, have a valid driver's license for at least one year, and be approved to drive on Sync. During your first booking, you'll go through a quick approval process by submitting your driver's license and some other information. In most cases, you'll be approved instantly and ready for all your future road trips!
Can I pay without a credit card?
Of course! In addition to credit cards, you can also make a booking on Sync with a debit or prepaid card from any Bank!
What is Sync's cancellation policy?
You can cancel and receive a full refund up to 24 hours before your booking starts. If you make a booking that starts less than 24 hours after, you have one hour after you book to cancel without charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period expires, you will be charged a part of the original booking cost. Read our help pages for details.
Can the vehicle be delivered to my door?
Yes, the Sync Hosts typically offer delivery to travel destinations such as airports, train stations and hotels, or even to your hotel or home. Cars are available through Sync at convenient places near hundreds of locations in the city. Skip the lines at the rental desk and pick up your car at your hotel, residence or a nearby location to save time and hassle on your weekend or family vacation. Some Providers offer free delivery, while others charge their own delivery fee.
Can I get discounts when renting?
Many Hosts on Sync offer discounted rates for weekly and monthly bookings, as well as "early bird" discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. Secure the best deals and lowest prices, from cars to SUVs, by making longer bookings at least a week in advance.
Occasionally, Sync may also send you promotional codes, discounts, and offers!
Can others drive the vehicle I booked?
Yes, other drivers can drive the car you book through Sync, as long as they have been approved for driving. The primary driver (the person who made the booking) can add additional drivers without any fees or extra costs. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers - Sync Hosts cannot do this for you. We recommend requesting additional drivers before your trip begins.
