The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Kefalonia are: BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe, Daihatsu Terios, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Fortuner, BMW X3 and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Greece ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Greece are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
In case of an accident or a breakdown drivers should not rely on special «SOS» phones, which are located along roads in some countries. It is possible to call for help only by a cell phone: 112 – emergency help, 104 and 154 - travel companies, 100 - police, 174 – 24/7 assistance for foreign drivers.
Car drivers should not forget to treat drivers of mopeds with greater attention. Local moped drivers have one very bad habit - they often overtake other vehicles on the right. Even if there is enough space for overtaking on the left, a moped driver will still do everything possible to overtake a car on the right.
If there is a car with blinking lights in the rearview mirror, it means that that car asks to give way. Possible options for a non-hurrying driver are to ride to the side of the road or to move to the extreme right lane.
