Voiture Location prices are not a single number but a Total that changes with the season, the Durée, the Catégorie and what the offer includes. In Thessalonique and Halkidiki the gap between a weekday in October and an August weekend can be Grandes. We do not quote "average prices", because they change by Agence and by date. We explain what sets the amount so you can Comparer what you see correctly.
Season and demand
July and August are the Mois with the highest demand in Halkidiki, and Été weekends fill up first. In Thessalonique demand also rises Activé public holidays, during trade fairs and in periods with many flights. In the Mois around Été prices usually ease, but that does not hold for Toutes les agences.
Some Agences adjust the Prix à how full their Flotte is. In that case the same Catégorie can Coût a different amount Activé two different DATES. So always Comparer using your exact DATES and times, and not a Prix you saw for another Période.
Durée: one jour, a weekend or a Semaine
Many Agences Prix per 24 heures à partir de the pick-up Heure. If you Restitution the Véhicule later than the agreed Heure, you may be charged extra heures or even a whole jour, depending Activé the terms. Ask whether there is a grace Période and how a delay is calculated.
Activé longer Locations the Quotidien Prix is often lower, but not always. If your trip is six jours, look at the Prix for seven too. Sometimes the weekly package costs the same or Moins, and you simply have the Véhicule one jour longer.
Catégorie, gearbox and Carburant
Petites city Voitures usually have the Prix le plus bas, as long as they fit your passengers and luggage. In Halkidiki, with umbrellas, a cooler and children, a slightly larger Voiture often makes getting around Plus comfortable and saves you à partir de making two trips.
Automatique Voitures often Coût Plus than Manuelle ones, and Diesel or Hybride Voitures can Enregistrer Carburant over long distances. If you mostly drive in the city Activé short trips, the saving in consumption probably does not offset a Plus expensive Modèle.
Ce qui est inclus in the Prix
Third-party Responsabilité civile must be Inclus in the Location. Facultatif cover, such as damage à the Location Véhicule, theft or legal assistance, differs by Agence. Read which damage is covered and which is not, because that is where the most common differences between two offers lie.
Also Vérifier the Inclus kilometres, Assistance routière and whether a second driver is charged. In Halkidiki the kilometres Ajouter up quickly, especially if you move between peninsulas, and a Quotidien mileage limit can matter Plus than the Prix itself.
Caution and damage waiver
The Caution is not a Location Coût. It is an amount held or withheld as security and released after the Restitution if there is Non damage or debt. Vérifier how much it is, how it is Encaissé and when it is returned, because it can Bloc a significant part of your Carte limit.
The damage waiver limits what you pay if the Véhicule is hit, but there is usually an excess. Ask how much it is, whether extra cover reduces it and what that costs. Often the cheapest Quotidien Prix comes with a higher excess.
Options that raise the Total
A Siège pour enfants, GPS, a second driver, out-of-heures pick-up or Restitution, Livraison à a Hôtel and Clients fidèles à a different location may each carry a separate Frais. A young-driver Frais, or a Frais for drivers with few years of licence, applies at some Agences.
Also look at the Carburant policy. If you must Restitution the Voiture with a full tank, leave Heure à refuel before handing it Retour. When the Agence refuels the Voiture, the Carburant Prix is usually higher than at a Essence station.
