Mykonos Rent a Car – Online Car Rental in Mykonos

FAQ – Mykonos Rent a Car

Everything you need to rent a car in Mykonos — airport & port delivery, insurance and deposit, age & license rules, parking in Mykonos Town, and more.

• Where can I pick up my rental car in Mykonos (Airport, Old/New Port, hotel)?

  We deliver to Mykonos Airport (JMK), the Old/New Port, and hotels/villas across the island. Airport & port meet-and-greet is fast — your car is handed over at arrival with your name sign.

• What are the age and driving license requirements?

  Minimum age is typically 21–23 with at least 1 year of driving experience (some premium groups require 25+). EU licenses are accepted. Non-EU renters need an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with their domestic license.

• Do I need a deposit? What about security hold and excess?

  A refundable security hold is placed on your credit card at pick-up. The amount depends on the car group and your insurance option. With full coverage the excess/hold is reduced or may be waived.

• Which insurance options are available (CDW/FDW/Theft)?

  All rentals include Third-Party Liability. You can add CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) to limit your excess, FDW (Full Damage Waiver) to further minimize liability, and TP (Theft Protection). Wheels, undercarriage, and glass are often excluded unless you add WUG.

• Fuel & mileage policy — how does it work in Mykonos?

  Most rentals are Full-to-Full: return the car with the same fuel level to avoid refueling fees. Mileage on Mykonos is usually unlimited given the island’s size.

• Can I add extra drivers, baby seats, or GPS?

  Yes — additional drivers (licensed & present at pick-up) can be added. We also offer baby/booster seats and GPS on request. Add them during booking to guarantee availability in peak season.

• Is parking easy in Mykonos Town (Chora)?

  Chora is mainly car-free. Use the public car parks around the perimeter (old port area etc.) or hotel parking. Avoid restricted lanes and always follow local signage to prevent fines or towing.

• Roads & restrictions — can I drive off-road or on beaches?

  Off-road driving is not allowed and is not covered by insurance. Stick to paved roads — some are narrow or windy; drive carefully and never leave the vehicle on sand or soft shoulders.

• Ferrying the car to other islands — is it permitted?

  Ferrying is generally not permitted unless you have written authorization in your rental agreement. Even when allowed, additional insurance may be required.

• What payment methods do you accept?

  We accept major credit cards (and most debit cards for payment; a credit card may still be needed for the deposit). Cash is accepted for rental charges in some cases, but a valid card is required for the security hold.

• What is your cancellation or change policy?

  Free changes/cancellations are usually possible up to a deadline before pick-up. Peak-season (June–September) bookings may have stricter terms — check your voucher for specific cut-off times and fees.

• Do you offer 24/7 roadside assistance in Mykonos?

  Yes — island-wide roadside assistance is included. In case of an incident, call the number on your rental agreement for immediate help and replacement if required.

• What documents do I need at pick-up?

  Bring your passport/ID, a valid driving license (and IDP if required), and the credit card used for the booking (in the main driver’s name).

• Opening hours and after-hours pick-ups/returns

  Standard hours cover most flights and ferries. After-hours pick-ups/returns can be arranged with a small fee; please add your flight/ferry details during booking.

• Are fines, tolls or traffic violations covered by insurance?

  No. Fines and violations remain the driver’s responsibility. Always respect speed limits, parking rules, and local signage — especially around Mykonos Town.
