InterRent in Greece: the policy in plain terms

Requires an IDP for non-EU and non-Roman-alphabet licences across its European locations. Europcar's value brand for leisure travellers in Europe.

Greece requires non-EU drivers to hold an IDP with their national licence.

In Greece specifically, greece legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so InterRent will ask for it at the counter. Island and mainland rental desks consistently ask for the IDP.

InterRent runs a europe network; at its Greece desks, foreign renters are asked for the Both-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Greece drives on the right, uses the EUR, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.

What to bring to the InterRent counter in Greece

  • Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
  • Your International Driving Permit in the Both format.
  • Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
  • Local payment for the EUR deposit; Greece drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.

  • Carry a first-aid kit, fire extinguisher and warning triangle.
  • Seatbelts and motorcycle helmets are mandatory.
  • 0.05% alcohol limit.
  • Tolls on national highways (Attiki Odos, etc.).
