KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Thera
- Explore the beautiful city of Thera on Santorini, the Greek island on which the city is located. Exploring the whole island is easiest done by car, so rent your own four wheels to gain tons of flexibility during your stay and make the most out of your holiday. Whether it’s the history museum, the archeological museum, or the many scenic beaches, a hire car makes everything feel close.
- Santorini Airport is only a 10-minute car ride from Thera and has car hire agencies on the airport grounds. Start your holiday hassle-free and pick up a vehicle upon arrival in Santorini. Simply head to the arrivals hall, where travelers will find various counters offering vehicles for every taste. Cars can also be picked up at the ferry port, in case you arrive via ferry.
- The city of Thera is very old and therefore has many narrow one-way lanes, sometimes ones that are plastered with cobblestones. Be careful with navigating through the roads, as pedestrians tend to cross without looking, and also because there sometimes are no proper sidewalks or parking lanes, which means parked cars are partially blocking the road. Especially when venturing out to explore the island, be careful on the winding roads as oncoming traffic may use two lanes to make the hairpin turns.
- Traditional morning and evening rush hours are uncommon in Thera; however, this holiday island is highly frequented in the summer months, which can mean increased traffic, especially around the coastlines, where sunbathers flock to the beaches to get the most out of the sun. As many winding country roads are not lit at night, it is also recommended to avoid driving there in the dark, as conditions can be treacherous.

- Book your rental car in Thera at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Never picked up the car. Sent an email to cancel have not heard backCons:
You need to get the email in case you dont want the car. You need an INTERNATIONAL LICENSE to drive in Greece. The car company needs to make this clear. Its only in small print with all of the other jumbo that you usually do not reed.Caldera
