Need to rent a car at the Athens Airport? If you've reserved ahead of time, it will be quick and easy. But even at the last minute, you should be able to find a car - but expect to pay a premium price for it. Booking with an international company before you come to Greece, using the U.S. websites, will usually save you 20-30% off the base price and save you any surprises in Euro-Dollar fluctuations.
