Some vehicles are available with no deposit required, meaning you pay only the rental cost online and present your driving licence and debit card on arrival.

When you rent a minivan in Greece, you will typically choose between these categories:
Compact Minivans (7 seats) - Vehicles like the Citroen Berlingo, Dacia Lodgy, or Volkswagen Touran. Suitable for up to 5 adults plus 2 children or 6 adults with limited luggage. Most affordable minivan option.
Standard Minivans (7-8 seats) - Ford Galaxy, Seat Alhambra, Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. More comfortable for long distances. Better luggage capacity. Third row of seats folds flat when not needed.
Large Minivans (9 seats) - Ford Transit Custom, Mercedes Vito, Volkswagen Transporter. True 9-seater configuration. Often used for airport transfers but available for self-drive rental. Requires standard Category B driving licence in Greece.
Note that luggage capacity decreases significantly when all seats are occupied. For 7 passengers with full luggage, consider booking a larger vehicle or roof box if available.
Greek roads vary from modern highways to narrow mountain passes. Here is what you need to know when driving a minivan:
Size Considerations - Minivans are wider and longer than standard cars. Village streets in Crete, Santorini, and Mykonos can be extremely narrow. Check your vehicle dimensions before booking if you plan to visit small villages.
Parking - Finding parking for a minivan in Athens or Thessaloniki city centres can be challenging. Use hotel parking where possible. Beach parking is generally more spacious.
Fuel Consumption - Minivans consume more fuel than compact cars. Budget approximately 8-10 litres per 100km for diesel models, 10-12 litres for petrol. Diesel is widely available and cheaper in Greece.
Mountain Roads - If driving in Crete, Peloponnese, or northern Greece, expect winding mountain roads. A minivan handles well but requires more attention on hairpin bends. Automatic transmission is recommended for inexperienced drivers.
Ferry Transport - Minivans cost more on Greek ferries than standard cars. Book ferry tickets in advance during peak season and confirm your vehicle category matches the actual minivan size.
To rent a minivan in Greece, you will need:
Young drivers under 25 may face a daily surcharge. This varies by supplier. Full payment terms are confirmed in your booking voucher after reservation.
When booking through Car Rental No Deposit, you pay the rental cost online. The local company may request a payment card on arrival for potential traffic fines or fuel charges, but no deposit block is applied to no-deposit vehicles.
Standard minivan rentals include basic insurance: Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Third Party Liability. The CDW typically has an excess (deductible) between 800-1500 EUR depending on vehicle value.
You can reduce or eliminate the excess by purchasing additional coverage:
Full Coverage / Super CDW - Reduces excess to zero or a minimal amount (50-100 EUR). Costs approximately 10-15 EUR per day extra. Recommended for peace of mind when driving with family.
Theft Protection - Usually included in basic rental. Covers vehicle theft with an excess similar to CDW.
Windscreen and Tyre Coverage - Often excluded from basic insurance. Windscreen damage is common on Greek highways from loose gravel. Consider adding this coverage if offered.
Check what your personal car insurance or credit card covers before purchasing additional rental insurance. Some credit cards offer secondary rental car insurance but may not cover minivans or commercial vehicles.
Minivan rental Greece pricing depends on season, location, and booking timing:
Low Season (November-March) - Daily rates from 35-50 EUR for compact 7-seaters, 50-70 EUR for standard minivans. Weekly rentals offer better value.
Shoulder Season (April-May, October) - Rates increase to 50-70 EUR daily for compact models, 70-90 EUR for larger minivans. Book at least 2 weeks in advance.
High Season (June-September) - Peak summer rates: 80-120 EUR daily for 7-seaters, 100-150 EUR for 9-seaters. Book 1-2 months ahead to secure availability.
Weekly Rentals - Typically offer 15-20% discount compared to daily rates. One week rental is more economical than 6 daily rentals.
Additional costs include fuel, tolls (Athens-Thessaloniki motorway costs approximately 20 EUR), ferry tickets if island hopping, and optional insurance upgrades. Check your booking voucher for the complete breakdown before pickup.
