When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Greece vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Greece are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Mytilene, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Despite strict regulations and heavy fines, traffic in Greece remains quite fast and somewhat dangerous. This is particularly true about large cities, where traffic is greatly complicated by the presence of the two-wheeled transport.
When riding, drivers are recommended to look around more often. Even if a moped or a motorcycle is not visible in the rearview mirror, it may be in the “dead zone”, so before making any maneuver drivers are recommended to make sure there are no hindrances.
Road planning is rather complicated in large cities. There are many dangerous turns, junctions, as well as one-way roads. Athens and Thessaloniki are known as the most difficult cities for drivers. They are really hard to navigate, so inexperienced drivers should be especially careful there.
