DOLLAR Car Rental at Athens Airport

Athens International Airport is a public airport operated by Athens International Airport S.A, and is a hub for Aegean Airlines, Cyprus Airways, Hellenic Imperial Airways and Olympic Air. The airport has been allocated the official IATA code of ATH, in order to distinguish it from similar establishments, and is also known as the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, in honour of a Prime Minister of the country. Arriving and departing passengers will find all the facilities they require, as well as several options for ground transportation. A rented car from Dollar Athens International Airport is a very popular choice of transport, as a hire car allows more freedom to explore the towns and cities nearby Athens. Car rental rates are reasonable from this airport, and passengers have a good selection of vehicles from which to choose.

To drive in central Athens can be a bit difficult, however, a rented car is wonderful transport for travelling all other areas, and for driving between towns and cities. While there is public transport available, most find that a private vehicle is far more convenient, as it allows them to come and go as they please, rather than needing to follow the schedules of a bus or train system. To rent a car from one of the Athens International Airport car hire companies, the primary renter should be at least 21 years of age, and will require a valid drivers license and a major credit card. Most driving licenses are accepted, however, an International Driving Permit is sometimes required, and the cards usually accepted include MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Diners Club, although others may be fine to use as well.

Even though the minimum age requirement is 21, persons younger than 25 are usually subject to higher rental rates, for young drivers insurance. This is a mandatory fee applicable to each underage driver registered on the contract, and is an amount that needs to be paid per day of car hire. It could be around 10 Euro per day, paid up until a maximum of 100 Euro. Younger drivers may also not be able to hire vehicles from all car categories. The unavailable categories usually contain larger or specialty vehicles, such as convertibles or luxury SUV's.

Dollar is available from 08:00 in the morning to 09:00 at night, at this rental location, and they hire vehicles in advance or directly over the rental counters. An advanced reservation is recommended for passengers who would like to ensure that their ideal car will be ready and waiting for their arrival at the airport. The more affordable cars for hire are available from the Mini and Economy categories, and may be similar to the Hyundai Atos and Fiat Panda. These cars are quite small, without too much room for luggage, but can be very convenient and easy to drive. They provide good transport in the city, and can handle longer distances quite easily as well. They may include some nice features, such as air conditioning and power steering. Compact cars are quite popular as well, and may include the Hyundai Accent and Fiat Grande Punto. The Hyundai can have a manual or an automatic transmission.

Midsize cars are slightly larger, and similar to the Ford Focus, with room for five passengers and three luggage items, and Standard cars are an ideal choice for families as well and include the Toyota Avensis for five passengers. For drivers with disabilities, there are options from Dollar. Hand controls can be hired free of charge, provided that they are reserved in advance, and are used by persons with a lower limb disability. The device is designed to operate the brake and accelerator pedals of a vehicle with an automatic transmission. From Athens International Airport, hand controls are available on certain types of vehicles.

The Athens International Airport car rental companies often provide frequent-renter programs for their customers, which help to save time and money. The Dollar Express program is one of the best for frequent renters, or even for persons who only rent a vehicle occasionally from Dollar. Members of the program enjoy VIP service at the rental counters, and in general, quicker reservations, rentals and returns. Customers can even earn free rental days with the Renter Rewards program.

Dollar one-way hire services may be available as well from Athens Airport. One way hires are when the vehicle is collected from one location, but is returned to another. This option can be convenient for passengers who are not leaving from the airport. Longer rentals can be arranged with Dollar as well. Customers with a corporate account can hire vehicles for up to eleven months, and will be charged monthly for the vehicle. The charges are conveniently taken from the customer’s credit card account or Dollar billing account. There is also no need to return the vehicle until the rental has expired.
