Deposit amounts, zero-deposit availability, accepted payment methods and excess ranges across 173 pickup cities in Greece. Compiled from live rental offers, refreshed weekly.
VERIFIED: 2026-07-29 · 542 OFFERS · 173 CITIESAs of July 2026, 321 of 542 car rental offers in Greece (59%) require no deposit at pickup. Where a deposit applies, it ranges from $100 to $2,200 (median $800) and can be paid in cash at 44% of suppliers. The advance payment is made online at booking; exact conditions for each car are stated in the booking voucher.
Deposit conditions in Greece differ more by car class than by city. The table aggregates all checked offers; amounts are ranges because each rental company sets its own terms, and the voucher for a specific car is the binding document.
| Car class | Zero-deposit offers | Deposit range (where applies) | Excess range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy (Chevrolet Spark, Citroen C1, Citroen C3) | 194 of 310 (63%) | $100 - $1,300 | $190 - $1,500 |
| Comfort sedan (BMW 116, Citroen ะก4, Citroen Berlingo) | 56 of 108 (52%) | $190 - $2,200 | $190 - $2,200 |
| SUV and crossover (BMW X1, BYD Atto, Cherry Tiggo) | 59 of 104 (57%) | $190 - $1,800 | $190 - $2,000 |
| Premium and sports (Audi A3, BMW 320i, BMW X1) | 12 of 20 (60%) | $300 - $1,600 | $600 - $2,000 |
Source: 542 live offers aggregated on 2026-07-29. Amounts in USD.
Every offer in the dataset splits payment in two: an advance paid online at booking, and the remaining amount at pickup. Zero-deposit offers block nothing beyond that; deposit offers additionally hold or charge the deposit at pickup and return it after the car comes back undamaged. Traffic fines and toll charges are billed by the rental company separately after the return. Deposit Index is a data reference: the rental agreement is concluded directly with the rental company.
Where a deposit applies, suppliers in Greece accept the following methods. Acceptance is counted across all checked offers; the methods for a specific car are listed in its voucher.
| Deposit payment method | Offers accepting | Share | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Credit card | 353 of 542 | 65% | optional where accepted, never the only method |
| Debit card | 279 of 542 | 51% | charged, not held |
| Cash | 240 of 542 | 44% | refund by bank transfer, up to 30 days |
| Cryptocurrency | 8 of 542 | 1% | coins and refund terms set by the rental company |
