  • For longer trips, pick up a weekly home from $273 and pack more sights into your itinerary.

  • Get behind the wheel with Exer Rent A Car, Alamo or Thrifty. They're some of the most well-known providers in the city.

  • Whether you book with Exer Rent A Car or a different supplier, be sure to check the coverage on your Mytilene car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as a paid add-on.

  • Consider booking a one-way home. You might be able to land a bargain if the provider needs to move vehicles between sites. Discover the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No surprise refueling fees tacked on at the end either.

  • Want to explore more without stressing about how many miles you clock up? Find homes with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like without the extra charges.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Take your ride to the next level with nifty extras like a reverse camera and GPS unit. These add-ons can turn your drive into a smoother experience when you rent a car in Mytilene.

Good to know

  • Age requirements often vary by supplier 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 bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.

  • Add a car seat to your Mytilene car hire reservation if you're bringing the kids. Rules vary from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest option.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up quick and easy. You'll typically need your physical driver's license (no digital copies) plus another photo ID. Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • If you're unfamiliar with driving in Greece, be aware that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are usually about 45kph in urban areas and around 125kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Greece. The only sure way to stay legal to drive is to skip the drinks.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) here. As well as your debit and credit cards, consider having some cash handy for minor purchases.
