Our services at Athens International Airport

Athens International Airport car hire

Arranging your car hire at Athens International Airport is so easy with SIXT. Greece is a country of sunshine and outdoor living, so our models are tailored for that, with bookable extras like sat nav and child seats. We have MPVs to explore Athens and further afield, and 4x4s if you want to get off the beaten track. For efficient business visits, choose a saloon, or perhaps a compact car – perfect for negotiating the narrower streets in the city's older parts. Economy models are available to suit your budget, or you can splash out on a sports model or convertible to take advantage of the climate.

SIXT's location at Athens International Airport

Our car hire branch at Athens International Airport is easy to find once you've landed. We're right there in the arrivals hall, between exits three and four. The airport has two main arrival gates – if you arrive at Gate A, turn right and you'll see our bright orange signage. From Gate B, you just turn left instead. To pick up your car, our agents will direct you to our parking office and car park, about 150 yards outside the airport building. These are open 24/7. To return your vehicle, follow the Car Rental signs and you'll see our parking lot on your right.

Explore Athens with your car hire

It's nigh impossible to cover all the main tourist sites in this ancient city, but there are some that stand out above the rest. A visit to the Acropolis is essential, where you'll also find the mythological icon of the Parthenon. The other big one is the Olympieion, the temple of Zeus. Hadrian's arch is also nearby, as are the National Gardens with its walking trails. Then take advantage of your hire car and explore outside the city. Drive out to Philopappou Hill, and visit the Church of Demetrius Loumbardiaris, a wonderfully quaint little Byzantine chapel.

Excellent location, Friendly staff. Signs for drop off location are small. It was through short term parking. (Sixt and Avis) Just past the Sofitel hotel.

I had for 3 days a beautiful new car for my weekend in Athens. It was not a high peak season, so it took me 5-10min to get the keys for my cars, 2min to give it back incl. the check from Sixt employee. Of course as I always do in capital cities with a lot of traffic I have booked all insurances on top. Everything went very well and I will really repeat exactly the same in my summer holiday. Thank you for the service.

Very good service this time. Got an upgrade because of status (which happens extremely rarely at other stations). Would recommend.

The SIXT office is located inside the arrivals hall of terminal between exits 3 and 4. The staff was cheerful and they checked in the rented car fast and rigorous. The very good point is that the office is 24/7 open and they do not charge extra fee if you collect the car very early in the morning or overnight. The SIXT parking is located outside the terminal arrivals' hall to the car rental B area of airport.

Very good service and exceptionally friendly staff both when renting and giving back the car. Special thanks to the ever so friendly long haired rocker working on returns 07.04.2023. Thanks for recommending Villagers of Ioannina City, good band 😁
