Hiring a car at Athens City Centre

Athens is a popular choice for mini-breaks and weekend getaways, and there's plenty of activities and attractions to keep visitors occupied. Enterprise Rent-A-Car offers a great choice of vehicles for exploring, with the flexibility to see attractions at your own pace. Car hires from the downtown Athens Enterprise branch can be pre-booked, or the staff on site will provide you with excellent customer service when it comes time to choosing your ideal vehicle rental.

The downtown Enterprise branch is conveniently located just west of Athen's city centre, close to the Agricultural University of Athens, not far from the Industrial Gas Museum. It’s just a ten-minute walk from Kerameikos metro station, which is on the blue line that directly connects to many popular areas, such as Monastirakia and Syntagma. It’s also just a couple of streets from Iera Odos, one of the city's major roads, making it handy if you're travelling by bus from other locations throughout the centre. Of course, there are many attractions in the city centre itself, but with a car, it's also possible to see top sights that are just a stone’s throw from Athens, such as the Monastery of Dafni, Forest Park, the Kaisariani Monastery, the botanical garden, and the archaeological site of Eleusis.

Enterprise offers a range of car rental options, including economy cars that are ideal for nipping around the city, larger vehicles for family groups, premium vehicles for travelling in style, and SUVs. All their vehicles offer great value and include a range of superb features as expected from Enterprise.

To rent a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the United States and Canada, you will need the following:

  • To be 25 years old 
  • A valid driving licence with a photo
  • A photo ID (for example: a driving licence or passport)
  • Credit or debit card (check the acceptable forms of payment at the location you're renting from)

Some locations may require additional information, including but not limited to: 

  • An International Driving Permit (IDP): If the licence is written in a language or characters different from those of the country of rental, an IDP is also required. Renters are advised to check whether local authorities require foreign drivers to present an International Driving Permit to avoid the risk of potential fines. Renters with licences from countries that are not part of the International Driving Permit Agreement should carry a certified translation.
  • Return travel and accommodation information: Visitors to the UK must also provide proof of return travel and accommodation information while in the UK. 

As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.

An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • A full tank of fuel is not guaranteed.

    • The pre-pay fuel option is calculated at the local rate of fuel minus a per gallon discount.

Note: Pre-paid fuel is only sold in full tanks at the discounted price per gallon and is not refundable. Local fuel rates will vary by the area you are renting a vehicle.
