At Santorini International Airport, you can pick from top-rated providers such as Goldcar, CarQ and Centauro.
Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Santorini International Airport car hire policy, whether you book with Goldcar or any other supplier. Some may charge separately for it instead of including it in the base rental.
Choosing a one-way car hire can be your secret weapon for finding a deal. Simply select 'Return car to a different location' when looking for a car for rent in JTR. Providers sometimes need to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can bag some great one-way prices.

Want to explore without worrying about the number of miles you cover? Search for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like without the extra charges.
Get into the fast lane once you've picked up the keys to your JTR car rental. You've got the freedom to go wherever you choose, but if you're off to central Santorini (Thira), it'll take you about 10 minutes to cover the 5 kilometres or so north-west.
Don't need a set of wheels as soon as you arrive? Consider collecting a car hire in Santorini (Thira) instead of at the airport. That way, you won't be paying for days you don't use.
