Street parking on the main strip (Leoforos Eleftheriou Venizelou) is heavily restricted with yellow painted curbs indicating strictly forbidden zones. Use designated free municipal gravel lots located along the upper perimeter or behind the port, or park in hotel parking bays. Never park on the coastal promenade (Agias Paraskevis) after 19:00, as it converts into an active pedestrian-only zone subject to immediate fines and towing.
Generally no. Most rental suppliers strictly prohibit loading rental cars onto ferries unless you obtain prior written authorization and purchase a dedicated maritime ferry transport waiver (typically 15-30 EUR per day). Any breakdown, maritime casualty, or bodywork damage sustained aboard a ferry or on another island is completely excluded from regular CDW insurance.
No. Greek rental vehicle contracts standardly prohibit driving off asphalt surfaces. Driving on gravel tracks to remote beaches or mountain gorges will completely void your Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), holding you 100% liable for all underbody, mechanical, suspension, towing, and tire replacement costs.
Drivers holding licenses issued by an EU/EEA country, the UK, the USA, Canada, or Australia do not need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Drivers with licenses from other non-EU countries must present a valid national license alongside an official 1949 or 1968 International Driving Permit; rental companies will legally refuse vehicle collection without it.
For standard small and compact cars, security deposits typically range from 600 EUR to 1,200 EUR, held as a pre-authorization block on the primary driver's credit card. While some local agencies offer zero-deposit rentals with cash or debit cards, this usually requires purchasing their top-tier comprehensive insurance package at the counter.
