车 租金 for young drivers is something many students and young travellers 在塞萨洛尼基 look for, usually just before a long weekend in Halkidiki. You can get a 车 licence at 18, but 租金 公司 set their own rules 开 the driver’s age and experience. Here you will see what usually applies, why the 价格 may be a little higher and how 至 quickly find the 车辆 that accept your age.
起价 what age you can rent a 车
There is 否 single limit for 全部 公司. Many require the driver 至 be at least 21, while some also accept drivers aged 18 至 20, usually for 小型 city 汽车. For larger or 更多 powerful 型号 the limits are often higher.
Besides age, many 公司 also require 最低 experience, for 示例 a licence issued at least one 年份 earlier. 检查 the issue date 开 your licence before 预订, because it will be checked at 取车.
Why there is a young driver surcharge
Insurers consider drivers with little experience 至 have a higher accident risk. That is why some 公司 添加 a 小型 increase 至 the 每日 价格 for younger ages, either as a percentage or as a fixed amount.
This increase is not a penalty and does not mean worse 服务. It is part of the 费用 of 保险. What matters is seeing it in the 价格 起价 the 开始, so it does not surprise you at the 取车 desk.
How you see it 开 Ridom
开 Ridom you choose the driver’s age within the 搜索, 下一页 至 the 日 期 and the 类别. The groups are 18–19, 20–22, 23–29, 30–69 and 70 and over. The results 显示 only the 车辆 the 公司 accepts for your age.
If the 公司 has an increase for your age, the 价格 you see already includes it, and the 车辆 页 shows a note with the percentage or amount. That way you 比较 final prices rather than prices that change later.
Which 汽车 suit a young driver
小型 city 汽车 are usually the easiest choice. They park easily in central 塞萨洛尼基, use little 燃料 and are 更多 often 可用 至 younger drivers. For four people with luggage, a 压缩 车 is 更多 comfortable.
If you have not 已行驶 much 开 motorways or in the mountains, pick a 车辆 you know how 至 handle. If you learned 开 a 手动挡, an 自动 needs only a few 分钟 至 get used 至, while the reverse is harder.
Declare the age and drivers correctly
The age you declare in the 预订 must be the driver’s real age. If at 取车 it does not match the licence, the 公司 may change the 价格 or refuse the 车辆, and the 保险 may not apply.
If two people will drive, declare both. The youngest driver’s age is usually the one that counts for the terms. A driver who is not written 开 the contract is not covered in case of damage.
押金 and 保险 for young drivers
For younger drivers the excess or the 押金 may be higher. If you do not have a credit 银行卡 or do not want 至 tie up 资金, 检查 whether the 公司 offers 押金保险, which replaces the 押金 with a 小型 每日 amount.
Full cover with zero or a 小型 excess gives peace of mind 至 anyone driving a 租金 车 for the first 时间. 比较 the extra 费用 with the excess and choose what lets you drive without stress.
Practical tips for your first 租金
Book early for 夏季 and long weekends, because the 车辆 that accept younger drivers sell out first. Bring your licence, ID 银行卡 or passport and the 付款 银行卡 in your 名称.
At 取车 photograph the 车, find the lights, the wipers and the 燃料 cap, and set up navigation 在你开始之前. The first roads around the city are easier when you are not searching for anything 开 the 仪表板.
