KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Patras

  • The city of Patras has many points of interest and you should take advantage of your time there exploring the sights, from the older, upper part of the town right down to the lower part of the city, which includes the 19th-century urban centre. A hire car will give you the freedom to explore these things in your own time as well as give you the opportunity to venture outside the city. With Patras car hire, Lambiri Beach with its crystal-clear water and various fresh fish restaurants can easily be reached in just under half an hour. You could also drive just over half an hour into the hills south of Patras, to visit the village of Chalandritsa and its water mills and springs.
  • Araxos Airport (GPA), in Patras, is served by global car hire companies such as Avis, Hertz and Alamo. The desks for the car hire companies are located inside the terminal building, just inside the arrivals hall. Present yourself at your chosen company desk for car hire in Patras and you’ll be directed to your vehicle. Some car parks are within easy walking distance of the terminal, but be sure to check when you book your car whether you’ll need to use a shuttle service to get to your vehicle.
  • While driving your Patras car hire, be aware that most main road signs are in both Greek and English, so you should be able to find your way to the main areas of interest with relative ease. It is also important to note that you may be fined if you use your car horn unnecessarily and that while traffic police can hand out fines, they cannot accept payment, so this needs to be done at the nearest office of the Public Treasury. In Greece, they drive on the right-hand side of the road.
  • The traffic in downtown Patras can be very heavy, especially during commuter hours, so if you can avoid the city centre by driving on the main bypass – the Bypass of Patras – or the mini bypass that circumvents the city, this will make your journey outside of Patras much smoother. Rush hour is usually between 08:00 and 09:00 and then again in the afternoon between 16:00 and 19:00. Please be aware that driving in the centre can be quite erratic and impulsive, so you will need to stay alert.
  • Book your car hire in Patras at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Patras are around 32% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • Should I get insurance when hiring a car in Patras?

    Most car hire providers in Patras offer insurance but the level of protection can differ substantially. If you're unsure whether to get extra protection for your car hire in Patras, check out KAYAK's car hire insurance guide.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Patras?

    If you are looking at car hire in Patras, you should consider how far you will be driving and where. A compact economy car is definitely more suitable if you will be driving around the older roads in the city, as this will be much easier to manoeuvre in and out of parking spaces and around the traffic. If you plan on driving into the mountains, it may be worth looking at a sturdier vehicle such as an SUV with 4x4 capabilities; some of the country roads are poorly maintained, and when you get into the mountains, they can be very winding with sharp bends.

  • What’s the speed limit in Patras?

    The speed limit on the urban and residential roads within the boundaries of the town of Patras is 50 kph unless stated otherwise on road signs; this limit may be lower near schools or in busy areas. On motorways, the speed limit is 120 kph, and on open national roads, this drops to 110 kph. Always obey the road signs, as these are general limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Patras?

    There are a few car parking garages in Patras and the rates are roughly € 3-5 (about A$ 4.40-7.30) for 2 hours at a time. Hours for these are generally from 08:00 until 22:00. Ask your agent for car hire in Patras about some tips for parking your hire car, as while you will see some of the local drivers parking on streets, there may be laws against this.

I booked for one of two pick up locations in the city I was traveling to but somehow that was mixed up and no one was there to check us in even though that location was supposed to be open. We had to wait an hour in extreme heat for someone to return to open the location. And, the agent who showed up was quite rude.

Car hire insurance in Patras

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Patras car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Patras.

Deductible

Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Patras car hire.
