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 Zakynthos, 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
In the countryside, livestock is an additional source of danger for drivers. It often grazes close to roads, so it can appear on the way very unexpectedly.
Crossing the median is also not uncommon here. Even in large cities and on busy highways the dividing line can end as suddenly as it began. That is another compelling argument in favor of violators of traffic regulations.
In many regions, road signs are installed very low or on special banners. It is possible to notice these road signs only if a car is moving at a low speed. Do not try to find signs, mounted on high poles, and large boards with information – there are almost no such signs on the roads of Greece.
