  • Line up your ride with Auto-Union, Wheego or Centauro. They're some of the most reliable providers in the city.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Sámi car hire policy, whether you go with Auto-Union or any other supplier. Some may leave it out of the standard package and offer it as an extra.

  • Booking one-way could snag you a cheaper rate on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be moved between sites. Simply click 'Return car to a different location' when searching the range of cars for rent in Sámi.

  • Spend less on fuel by choosing a vehicle that has a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up your ride with a full tank and refill it before drop-off, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Medium: Not too big, not too small, this is the just-right ride you need in your life. Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they offer a mix of fuel efficiency and interior space and are suited to couples and small families.

  • Large: Long drives are effortless in this Sámi car hire category. Also known as full-size, their bigger engines are built to perform. The extra space and comfort make them an excellent option for families and groups of friends.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't mandatory, but is something you should consider. If your vehicle is damaged, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying a hefty excess fee. Different Sámi car hire providers have varying insurance policies and cover levels, so check the details before booking.

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Sámi by adding some handy extras. Think things like a GPS unit to be your trusty co-pilot, or reverse cameras to park like you're pulling off a choreographed routine.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals can vary by company and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Greece may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • If the kids are tagging along, check if you should add a child car seat to your Sámi car hire booking. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up quick and easy. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no electronic copies) plus another photo ID. Have a credit card ready for the deposit too. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.

  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Greece.

  • Local speed limits are usually about 45kph through urban areas and around 125kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.

  • In Greece, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you're planning to have a drink or two, hand the keys to someone else or choose another way to travel.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day purchases and excursions. Pay with a card where you can, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't possible.

  • The language most widely spoken in this country is Greek.
