  • Booking a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often need to move vehicles between locations, which means you can lock in some excellent one-way prices on a car for rent in Kithira.

  • Add a car seat to your Kithira car hire reservation if you're bringing the kids. Rules can change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size and age is always the safest way to travel.

  • You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.

  • Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Greece.

  • Follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Greece. The most reliable way to be safe to drive is to avoid drinking completely.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) for all your purchases here. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cards and cash to make sure you're always covered.

  • Greek is the language you'll hear most people speaking in this country.
