Why We Love THIRA RENT A CAR (And You Should, Too!)

Exactly how do I lease an auto in Santorini?

Rental Cars searches all the big cars and truck firms and discovers the most effective rate. Don't be put off by the straightforward layout of the website-- it's all about discovering the best rates. The most typical pickup points are Fira as well as the Santorini airport. Under Pickup Area pick either Santorini Flight terminal or All Areas (which will normally indicates Fira).

I recommend getting your rental automobile from the Santorini airport terminal even if showing up by ferry. The airport is slap in the center of the island and also a brief taxi or bus flight from the port and also all towns. All the airport terminal rental automobile desks are within a few feet of each various other. It's very easy to obtain your car, walk throughout the parking area, and also drive away. On the various other hand, both the ferryboat port and also Fira are busy and disorderly. Finding the rental vehicle firms are tricky as well as getting your automobile will generally call for waiting while a person drives it there from one more place (perhaps the airport).

I choose renting from one of the worldwide automobile firms that you discover online however there are also local rental workplaces around the island that will rent a car, mobility scooter, or ATV to you. (The regional business are the only option for mobility scooters and also ATVs.) Many people have horror tales about handling local auto rentals but 2 that are trusted are us.

The airport terminal is extremely small and also it's quick and very easy to get your auto. From the Santorini airport terminal, it's a brief 10-minute drive to Fira. About 15 mins to Imerovigli. And also 25 mins to Oia. Leasing a cars and truck from the flight terminal will conserve you the problem of getting a taxi. When flights show up taxis remain in brief supply as well as waits can be long. Rental automobile companies that use vehicles from the Santorini airport include Avis, Budget, Hertz, and also Venture. Their desks are located in the arrivals hall SANTORINI CAR RENTALS of the airport. The desks are well-staffed and also there's almost never a lineup for auto pick-up.

The Santorini ferry port is disorderly when a ferryboat shows up. My suggestion: take a bus or taxi to the airport as well as pick-up your rental vehicle there (much quieter and simpler to navigate).

The Athinios ferryboat port in Santorini is chaotic when a ferryboat arrives. I would certainly not recommend doing a rental automobile pick-up at the port. For one, it's really active and also meeting your call individual will not be straightforward. As well as two, the winding snaking crazy road up the caldera high cliff is damn frightening and also packed with large trip buses, vehicles, cars, and motorcycles. It's challenging or relaxing for a visitor to manage. First timers ought to schedule a rental cars and truck at the Santorini airport. When you reach the ferryboat port take a straight bus or taxi to the airport terminal (concerning 20 minutes away). The airport remains in the center of the island and also from there it's a lot easier to get going in the right direction whether you're remaining in Oia, Fira, Imerovigli, or one of the beaches.
