  • Age requirements for rentals vary by provider (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some providers in Greece may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.

  • Add a car seat to your Ioannina car hire booking if you're planning to travel with the kids. Regulations change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size and age is always the safest way to travel.
