If you plan to visit secluded beaches or mountainous areas, a vehicle with a good suspension system is useful.<br>\nRequired Documents: A valid driver&#8217;s license (European or international) and ID or passport are required. Some companies have age limits (usually from 21 or 23 years old and up), and a credit card may be requested for a guarantee.<br>\nFuel and Policy: Most companies deliver the car with a full tank and ask for it back in the same condition. Gas stations on the island are not everywhere, so make sure to fill up before visiting remote areas.<br>\nTire tips: Do a quick check of your vehicle before you set off (tires, lights, scratches), and make sure you have a contact number for the company in case of any problems.\nBook early, especially in July and August, availability is limited.\nOpt for a car with good air conditioning and good grip, as there are quite a few hills and curves.\nCheck the vehicle before you pick it up for damage and take photos if necessary.\nAsk about the fuel policy, \u200b\u200bit is usually required to return it with a full tank.\nAlways have a GPS or map, as signage in some areas is limited.\nAvoid driving at night on unfamiliar roads, as many places are unlit.\nTake the company&#8217;s contact number with you, in case of emergencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rent a Car in Kythira Kythira is a medium-sized island by Greek standards with a dense road network.
