Alexandroupolis Airport , being an international airport since 1955, is situated in Greece. One of the reasons for people visiting Alexandroupolis is that there are many places to see and that it is safe to visit. Some attractions you can look forward to include archeological museums, women’s day festivals and art museums. At the airport you will find many modes of transportation, such as taxies, busses and car hire agencies, but, even though renting a car might be more expensive, it could be the most convenient for you.
If you choose to car hire at the Alexandroupolis airport, you should make a reservation before you leave home and insure that the rental company has issued a confirmation number. It is advisable for you to give the rental company’s customer service representative the flight number, as well as the scheduled arrival time. The aim is to protect the reservation in case your flight is delayed.
As you reserve a car at Alexandroupolis airport, knowing the true cost of renting a car is important. Make sure that the advertised rate in big print includes local and state taxes, additional driver fees, airport surcharges, gasoline bills, insurance and drop-off charges and that you don't pay fees, which exceed what you expected. Additionally be sure to verify rates according to season; they may vary greatly. Finally ensure, that the price you are being quoted is for the size of car that fits your needs.
Today, car hire companies at Alexandroupolis airport can be found in major booking engines, and the companies are offering more transparency in terms of car hire rates, which means that the total rental cost is shown and that estimated fees and taxes are included. Major companies, however, often use "yield management", which means, that computers are able to make quick adjustments to rates when there is a change in supply and demand of cars and that in turn will change the car hire rate at a fast pace. It is therefore advisable to make your reservation immediately.
And finally, make sure you are carrying your national drivers license as well as an international driving permit. Note, that even if you carry the international one only, having forgotten to bring your national license , you will not be allowed to rent any car at Alexandroupolis airport. An international license is needed, but it cannot act as your driving license alone. Verify, that both legal documents were issued by the same authorities and don't fall victim to scammers claiming to be authorized to issue international driving permits.
