Zero-deposit availability by car class

The table below aggregates deposit conditions across all offers listed for Greece. Deposits are shown as ranges because each rental company sets its own amount; the binding figure for a specific car appears in its voucher before payment.

How zero-deposit rental works in Greece

Zero deposit does not mean no payment before pickup. Every offer requires an advance paid online at booking, deducted from the rental total; the remaining amount is paid at pickup. A zero-deposit offer blocks nothing on top of that - the advance confirms the renter, and any fines or toll charges accumulated during the rental are billed by the rental company after the car is returned.

Mileage is part of the same risk model: only 613 of 621 offers in Greece come with unlimited mileage, so daily caps apply to zero-deposit and deposit cars alike. The cap for a specific car is stated in its voucher.

Documents required for a zero-deposit rental
