Decide what car you want to drive in the city of Thessaloniki to find out daily average cost.
Try also to choose different rental points; practice shows that the price for the same car may differ by 20 - 30% depending on where you are planning to pick it up.
Pay for your booking using MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, or an American Express card.
BE CAREFUL. When you receive a car, you may need a credit card, and you will not be able to use a debit card. You can find further information about details in advance in the Payment Methods section.
If a provider does indicate the need to provide a credit card when booking, and you do not have it, check the status of your debit card on www.bindb.com. The fact is that some debit cards are actually credit cards with zero limit. If your card is one of them, you may use it.
At the rental company office, you may be required to provide an international driving licence.
Try to avoid trips to the city centre with an almost empty tank; it is extremely difficult to find a petrol station in the city centre; they are all based on the outskirts.

You may cancel your order via a special form on the website. Standard cancellation conditions are as follows: free cancellation of order 24 hours before the start of booking. Upon cancellation less than 24 hours, the fine of 50 EUR will be charged. After the date of receipt of a car, the order cannot be cancelled. If a customer does not arrive at the place for renting a car and does not inform Cars-scanner.co.uk about cancellation of the booking, 100% of the order value is withheld. Additionally, in some proposals, cancellation charges may be changed. Be sure to pay attention to the relevant clause in the rental terms.
Please note that drivers under 25 and over 70 are often less trusted at the provider's office and are subject to an extra payment when renting. Visit the Age Restrictions section to find out how a driver of your age group is charged when booking.
To travel calmly and to not to think about possible damage to the car, take out a full insurance policy; in this case, any difficulties with the car cease to be your concern and fall on the shoulders of an insurance company.
