Important information about Skiathos car hire

How to get from Skiathos International Airport (JSI) to the rental car centre

When visiting the idyllic Skiathos in the Greek islands, you will most likely arrive on the small island via the Skiathos International Airport (JSI). This small but effective airport has four car rental desks at your disposal and they are easily found once you have landed. Claim your luggage and enter the main Arrivals terminal. Here you will find Avis, Budget, Hertz and Thrifty. The garages with the vehicles are also on site and you will return the vehicles to the same place you collected them from. If you are planning on doing any road tripping, now would be the time to collect a GPS navigation kit. If you have a child with you, the car hire company can rent out a car seat for them as it is the law to keep them strapped up in a car seat until they are 135 cm in height.

What documentation do I need to rent a car in Skiathos?

You will be able to hire a car in Skiathos from the age of 21 as long as you’ve been a valid licence holder for at least a year. Those under the age of 23 sometimes get charged a youth fee. If you are thinking about luxury cars or convertibles, you will need to be 25 years of age. Tourists from the UK will be able to hire a car with a UK driver’s licence in Skiathos, but international driver’s licences are required for certain countries, so always ensure you know which licence to take with when collecting your vehicle. Take your passport along and a major credit card for the payment. The credit card will have to be in the name of the person hiring the car, and not a parent or friend. If you have a pre-booking, take the voucher along as a safety measure.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Skiathos

This small island is great fun to see with a car hire, but be aware of some of the basic rules of the road to keep your holiday hassle free. In Skiathos, you will use the right-hand side of the road to drive, and most likely use a manual transmission car. Automatic vehicles should be pre-ordered as they are not as common. Being on holiday may mean regular cocktail hour, but always remain below blood alcohol limits of 0.05% as there is zero tolerance for drink-driving. This is about two standard drinks for an average adult. Roads are narrow in Skiathos with no highways, meaning driving cautiously and looking out for pedestrians is vital, particularly as there are so many beaches and roads leading to them. You can’t hold a phone in your hand at all when driving; it always needs to be in car mode. The island may be small, but  many tourists during summer can make it quite packed, so always obey speed limits.

Can I drive to other states, regions or countries with a rental car from Skiathos?

In theory, you would be able to cross into other territories of Greece and even the EU with car hire if Skiathos wasn’t a water-locked island. Most car hire companies will not allow their vehicles to be taken on the ferry across to the mainland or other islands, despite the fact the journeys themselves are quite short. In fact, it would probably be cheaper to independently rent vehicles on each island as you move around your holiday, rather than transport it about with sea travel, as your insurance will need to be adjusted with every leg of your trip.
