With some of the best-kept milestones of civilization, Athens SUV hire is an excellent way to tour the city. Since Athens is hilly, you would have no problem accessing most of her attractions with an offroad vehicle. One of the must-visit sites in Athens is the Ancient Acropolis. While buses take approximately 30 minutes to get to the ruins, driving requires less than 5 minutes. Touring the National Archaeology Museum, a 5-minute drive from central Athens, is also a great idea. The museum features thousands of exhibits dating from almost two centuries ago. While rounding up your tour, drive to the Plaka neighbourhood; it takes roughly 10 minutes to connect the city centre and Plaka. The location has an ambient countryside feel and features fantastic restaurants and cobblestone streets.
If flying to Athens, your arrival airport will most likely be Athens International Airport (ATH). There are two terminals in the airport: Main and Satellite. You can locate the car hire centre in the Main Terminal building. Athens SUV hire firms such as Hertz, Budget, Avance, Avant, Enterprise and Sixt have a desk at the centre with representatives ready to help. It is always a good idea to book in advance through KAYAK, so you find your car ready for pickup when you arrive.
Driving in Athens city centre may be challenging, especially if you haven’t driven in major cities. Motorcycles may overtake from the left or right, with no regard to traffic rules. Additionally, the number of pedestrians is usually huge. Having been used to these conditions, drivers in Athens may seem aggressive as they drive around you. Thus, you must match their skill and confidence to manoeuvre through central Athens. Note that there are some low emission zones in the city centre, usually denoted with a “Δ”, where you may not be allowed to pass with a vehicle. Fortunately, driving in the Athens outskirts is a walk in the park, as cars reduce significantly.
You may spend a few hours in traffic while using Athens SUV hire between 8 am and 10 am or 4 pm and 6 pm. These are the city’s rush hours, and they may extend a tad in case of road construction. With a GPS, you may find alternative routes. However, the general rule is to stay on the motorways as much as possible. It would be a great idea to keep off Achilleos Road. The intersections at Carlton St and S Lumpkin St may feature congestion during rush hours.

Which is a reliable SUV to hire in Athens?
Athens SUV hire companies have a variety of offroad vehicles to cater to your varied travel needs. A compact SUV is one of the vehicles you can consider hiring. Five adults can comfortably sit in one, while two large suitcases can fit in its boot. As with most cars in Athens, it will likely feature a manual transmission. If you prefer an automatic vehicle, make sure you book in advance.
What is the speed limit in Athens?
While the roads in Athens feature few monitoring devices, it is advisable to observe traffic rules to avoid fines. The speed limit in the Athens city centre is 50 kph (31 mph). Outside the built-up areas, 110 kph (68 mph) is acceptable. Highways allow the highest limit, as drives can drive 130 kph (81 mph). Roadways like the Pathe & Aegean Highway that connects Athens and Thessaloniki charge a toll, which you may pay in cash.
Where can I park an SUV in Athens?
If your accommodation is on the Athens outskirts, consider parking in the Metro Station and accessing the city centre on foot. Finding a parking spot in central Athens may be difficult due to the high number of vehicles and double parking. Underground car parks are available in most shopping centres, landmarks and seaports.

“Bad experience: Had to wait 4 hours, from 8am to moon to pickup the car, even though they had the car available because the reservation with Expedia was made for 12pm/ noon and they can’t make changes to the reservation because supposedly was a third party agreement. The car was returned at 8am. Dose not make sense!!!!

Kayak wrote in the standardized response that an e-mail would come from Europcar as confirmation, but that did not occur. The processor used by Kayak (not Europcar) wrote in a standardized response that the rental was confirmed. The Europcar website was not available several times when it was checked. At arrival, Europcar had the confirmation number Kayak/Kayak's processor had provided and the rental experience was excellent.

As I reached out earlier this trip the initial rental car I rented did not have properly working A/C, I was not angry or rude and the agency did eventually meet me in Elefsina to exchange the car. As I continued my trip we went to Kynthos were I ended up getting a flat tire on 6/12.. I immediately call green motion to report the incident. They became irate with me and kept stating I should not have taken the car to the island, which I was not aware of(which I will take responsibility if it was in the contract and I missed it). When I returned from the island I took the car To the shop and had a new tire put on the car. When I returned the car I turned in the keys and loaded my families stuff in the shuttle. A gentleman checked the car and I was issued a refund for the deposit. We started down the road in the shuttle when the driver got a call and did a u turn in the road with no explanation. I then asked are we going back and he said yes “the lady needs to talk to you.” At this point it would be considered in the United States that my family and I were being kidnapped as I was being taken against my will. ( I’m not sure The law in Greece) I was then asked to come back in the office where the lady told me the tire is “broken” I said no it’s not it is replaced. She said I had to replace two tires since I got a flat on one. I said I read the policy and did not see that anywhere just that I needed to replace the damaged tire. She then started filling out a claim which I did not understand. At this point I got my father-in-law on the phone( who speaks Greek). The employees became very angry and it became apparent I was not going to be able to leave. I asked them can I please be taken to the airport in which they replied no. I said charge me for the tire and let me go they said I could not leave and I had to wait for a mechanic. I then asked them directly am I being held against my will to which I received no reply. I asked a 2nd time am I being held against my will or can I take my luggage and leave. An employee then told me yes leave and take your luggage. I then had to remove my 3 kids, wife, 3 checked bags, 5 book bags, two car seats, and a carry on out of the shuttle by myself and start walking down the sidewalk to get to the airport. It is very apparent to me know that they were trying to coerce my into doing what they want because they knew I needed the shuttle to the airport. I would recommend kayak looking into this before allowing them to be used on your site. At no point should I have been forced to walked down the road with my 3 young kids and all my luggage.

First the pickup location was 15 min away from the airport which was not clear when making the reservation. It was also not made clear that the shuttle would be dependent on our pickup time so we sat at the shuttle pickup for an hour before calling Green Motion and then waited another 30 min for the shuttle and then took almost 20 min to reach their location. We ended up being switched to an earlier flight so we were an hour an a half early for our 7pm pickup. They were willing to move the pickup up an hour but made us sit there and wait 17 min literally watching the clock in order to pickup the car that was sitting right outside. They said if we wanted it early we would have to pay an additional amount that was 2.5x what we had already paid even though our rental was only for 19 hours to begin with they wanted to charge us for 2 additional days, for 17 min. The man who checked us in was pretty unfriendly and uncommunicative. They were nicer when we returned the car and the shuttle drivers were nice but this also ate up an extra hour of our day because of the distance from the airport. All in all we spent an extra 3.5-4 hours to save $20 vs picking a car up from a company at or closer to the airport. If we knew that we never would have chosen this company.

Had to take a taxi to the remote location (25 euros) where we found customer service agents shouting at customers. Opted to NOT follow through with renting from them after taking with another distressed customer in-person. Filmed a bit of what was happening and then my partner and I walk to the nearest (sketchy) bus stop. Soon after the manger (I can only assume because he wasn't wearing any official outfit) confronted us and threaten to call the cops because "filming us is illegal." Being in a foreign country and having this happening is extraordinarily stressful and incredibly unprofessional. So much so that just writing this and remembering what happened is stressing me out because it was legitimately traumatizing. I recorded this interaction on my phone in its entirety and will be posting it to warn others. We felt SO unsafe that we quickly ran across the 4-lane highway and flagged down a another taxi (30 additional euros) to get back to the airport... where we were worried for our lives because we didn't know if Green Motion's Manager was going to call a hit on us or bribe local police or something. Kayak customer service, if you're reading this, please contact me for additional details as this business shouldn't even be on your website.
