When choosing car rentals in Piraeus, keep in mind that most streets in the city are narrow. Also, consider the amount of luggage and number of people on the trip. Because of the narrow streets, the best car for travelers with a moderate amount of luggage is a compact SUV. These cars are small-sized, making them easy to navigate in crowded areas. However, if driving on the city's outskirts, you can choose intermediate large vehicles because the highway is broad.

Pay attention to speed limit signs because Piraeus imposes heavy fines on speeding drivers. Also, the city has numerous speed cameras to capture speeding drivers. The maximum speed limit on motorways is 120 km/h (75 mph), 110 km/h (68 mph) on open roads, and 130 km/h (80 mph) on highways. If you have to drive on rural roads, maintain a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) because most streets are narrow and have many turns, steep hills, and twists. Don't exceed 40 km/h (25 mph) when driving near school zones to protect the children going to and from school.

There are many spaces to park car rentals in Piraeus, but most require a fee. Before parking, check the signs that allow and prohibit parking to avoid fines.

You can park in spacious garages, including at Metropark Athens, Parking Siggrou, or Parking Kapa, for a fee . If you park near the Port of Piraeus, you can access the city through the metro or bus line X96 to avoid congested streets, especially during rush hours.
