Patras
Patras is a lively city blending youthful energy, historical charm, and proximity to great beaches and cultural sites. Renting a car through Sync allows you to move beyond the city center and discover the surrounding gems. You can start your morning walking up to the Patras Castle, enjoy coffee near the Byzantine Fortress, and later drive out to Rio or Punta for a swim. Traffic can be busy in parts of the city, but with a compact vehicle and good planning, getting around is simple and flexible.
Accommodation options are plentiful in and around Patras. The city center is perfect if you want to walk everywhere and stay close to restaurants and nightlife. But if you’re looking for a quieter experience, Rio or even the Araxos area offer a peaceful coastal setting. With your Sync car, location isn’t an issue—you can enjoy the best of both worlds, combining convenience with relaxation.
One of Patras’ greatest advantages is its easy access to short getaways. Within 30 to 60 minutes, you can visit villages like Karya or Kalavryta, explore the Cave of Lakes, or swim at beaches such as Kalogria or Katakolo. A rental car from Sync turns these outings into spontaneous, low-stress adventures. You set the pace and explore as far or as close as you feel like.
Though famous for its vibrant carnival, Patras has life all year round. Traditional tavernas, scenic seaside promenades, and a rich cultural calendar offer a dynamic experience for any visitor. A car from Sync makes it easy to move between downtown attractions, coastal eateries, and countryside escapes—all on your schedule, without rushing or waiting.

Which beaches near Patras are worth visiting?
Kalogria, Punta, Loggos, and Katakolo are popular choices—all easily reachable by car. Many are ideal for a half-day trip, combining swimming with fresh seafood at nearby tavernas. With a car, you can also explore lesser-known coastal spots off the main routes.
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!
Do I need my own insurance?
Sync doesn't offer insurance programs, but the vehicle you book will be insured by the Host (owner of the car) for civil liability and other damage liabilities up to a certain amount.
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 with less than 24 hours notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel without charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period expires, a small cancellation fee will be charged based on the original duration of the booking.
Can the vehicle be delivered to my door?
Yes! Hosts (vehicle owners on Sync) offer delivery to travel points such as airports, train stations, and hotels, or to special delivery locations like your hotel or home. There are cars available through Sync in convenient locations near hundreds of points in the city. Many Hosts offer delivery exactly to your requested location. Use the search filter to see only vehicles that can be delivered to your door. Some Hosts offer free delivery, while others set 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.
