Bookings and Vehicle Groups
All reservations are based on vehicle groups and not on a specific vehicle model. We try to assign to each reservation the chosen vehicle model.

Also, our company reserves the right to offer a model of a bigger group – category with no extra charge (free upgrade).
Cancellation Policy
You can cancel your reservation whenever you want, without any consequences or commitment.
No Show Policy
In the event that the renter does not pick up the vehicle on the agreed rental start date and time without prior written or telephone conversation, after 2 hours the reservation will be canceled.
Late returns
During the low and medium rental season a delay of up to 2 hours will not be charged extra. During the high season, the maximum acceptable delay without extra cost is 20 minutes. Beyond the 20 minute delay, the customer will be charged an additional rental day based on our company’s pricing policy during the high season.
Fuel Policy
The renter has to return the vehicle with the same fuel level as delivered.
If the renter returns the vehicle with less fuel than he received it, then the renter will be charged the difference in fuel. There is no refund if the renter returns the vehicle with more fuel than was received.

Traffic fines or other administrative sanctions
The renter must pay traffic fines, or any administrative sanctions may result from any violation of the Greek Traffic Law. The renter can pay the fines in cash or with a credit card. If any fine becomes required after the rental period, our company will charge the renter’s credit card the amount of the fine.
If the police or other authority removes the registration plates during the rental, the renter must compensate our company immediately. The compensation amount will be calculated by multiplying the total number of days that the vehicle will be without registration plates with the per-day rental price from the current season.
