Examples of popular cars with their typical seats, luggage space and transmission. The car you receive is the model shown “or similar”; the live search lists what is available for your dates.
From €2/day is an indicative low-season starting rate for selected Greece offers, not a live quote.
Small cars and compact hatchbacks
A compact car can suit couples or light luggage and make parking easier. Check the actual bag capacity: a car with four seats does not necessarily have room for four large suitcases.
Automatic and family cars
Use the transmission filter if you need an automatic. For family travel, check door access, luggage space and the availability of suitable child seats. Review the selected vehicle details rather than relying on the category name.
SUVs, minivans and larger groups
Compare the number of usable seats together with the luggage space when all seats are occupied. An SUV does not imply permission to drive off road. For a minivan, confirm the licence and driver requirements for the specific vehicle.
If you need an automatic, apply the transmission filter before comparing cars. Check that the selected vehicle is listed as automatic in the final details. An automatic can reduce gear-changing on an unfamiliar route, but vehicle size, luggage room and your comfort with the controls still matter. Availability and any price difference depend on your dates and pickup point.
Choosing a small car for two people
A small hatchback can be practical when you travel with light bags and want a compact vehicle for parking. Before choosing the smallest option, consider your suitcases, any child seat and whether rear seats must stay available. A low advertised daily price is less useful if the luggage does not fit.
Family cars: seats and bags must fit together
Start with the number of people and the luggage you will carry on airport journeys. Then check child-seat compatibility, rear access and boot capacity for the specific car. A five-seat listing does not establish space for five large cases. Child seats and an additional driver may be optional paid extras; check the total and the booking confirmation.
Seven- and nine-seat rentals
For a group, confirm the seat count and the baggage space with every required seat in use. Ask whether the model shown is the exact car or a representative vehicle. Compare a larger vehicle with two smaller cars, including additional drivers, fuel, parking and pickup logistics. Check the licence and age requirements shown for the actual offer.

Good to know
A few things before you go.
Clear answers for a smoother start. Always check the terms of the car you choose.
Use the automatic-transmission filter for your destination and dates. Confirm the transmission in the selected car’s details; availability varies by location and season.
Can I book child seats?
Check the extras offered for the selected car and confirm a seat suitable for the child’s age and size. Review availability, any charge and fitting arrangements before travel.
Can I book a specific model?
Check whether the offer confirms the named vehicle or permits a similar model. Review transmission, capacity and equipment in the booking details.
What should I compare besides the daily rate?
Compare the total for the complete rental, deposit, excess, fuel policy, mileage, pickup and return arrangements, and any extras you need. Include delivery, one-way and out-of-hours charges where applicable.
Is unlimited mileage included?
Some offers include it and others set a limit. Read the mileage allowance and any additional-distance charge for the car you choose.
Can I add another driver?
Check the additional-driver option in the offer. Each driver must satisfy the supplier’s requirements and be included in the rental agreement. A fee may apply.
Does an SUV mean I am allowed to drive off road?
No. The vehicle category does not grant permission for unpaved or restricted roads. Check the route restrictions and protection conditions for the car.
Is an automatic guaranteed when I use the filter?
Use the filter to find suitable listings, then confirm the transmission in the chosen car’s details and booking confirmation. Review any vehicle-substitution conditions too.
Are child seats and an additional driver free?
Not universally. Check availability, suitability and the cost of each extra for the selected offer. Include them when comparing the complete rental price.
