Open the protection details for your selected car. Identify the covered events, the excess and any exclusions. Names and packages differ between suppliers, so a familiar label alone is not enough to compare two offers.
Read the important exclusions
Check the wording for tyres, glass, wheels, the underside, keys, misfuelling and unauthorised road use. An upgrade can change some conditions without covering everything. Follow the supplier’s incident-reporting procedure and keep the assistance contact available.
Separate deposit, excess and reimbursement
A lower deposit does not necessarily reduce the excess. If a product reimburses you after a claim, that differs from a supplier reducing what it charges at the time. Read the terms of the actual product before choosing it.
No. Included protection and optional upgrades vary. Review the excess, covered events and exclusions. A description such as full coverage does not mean every incident or use of the car is covered.
Does no deposit mean no excess?
No. The deposit is security held during the rental. The excess is an amount you may be responsible for under the protection terms. Check both figures and any exclusions for the specific car.
Can I rent a car in Greece without a deposit?
Selected offers may have a zero security deposit. Use the no-deposit filter and read the car’s terms. A paid protection option may be required. A zero deposit does not automatically remove every liability or mean no advance payment.
Can I take the car on a ferry?
Get written permission from the rental company before making a ferry booking. Check whether the route is allowed and whether protection applies during transport and on the destination island.
Can I drive on unpaved roads?
Read the road-use restrictions and coverage exclusions before planning the route. A destination being popular with visitors does not mean the rental agreement permits its access road.
Who do I contact during the rental?
For breakdowns, incidents or pickup problems, use the rental company’s contact and emergency instructions in your voucher or agreement. For a booking change, use the support details in the confirmation.
