The advantage of driving Piraeus car rentals instead of public transport is that you can reach your destination quickly because most buses are slower. In addition, you can enjoy freedom and flexibility, allowing you to set your own schedule and not have to be at a specific stop at a specific time. You can go to Katounia Beach, approximately 62 miles north of the city, or visit the Bourtzi Castle, about 57 miles to the southwest.
When visiting Piraeus, you'll likely land at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH). Several car rentals in Piraeus are near the airport. Car rental agencies, including Hertz, Sixt, Budget, and Enterprise, are located north of the Main Terminal. Due to the proximity of the car rental offices to the airport, the airport shuttles offer free transportation. The shuttles operate 24 hours a day evey day to provide a convenient journey to travelers.
Piraeus City is on the coastline, and driving a car rental can be difficult because of the tourist influx. So, driving in and out of the city can be tricky. Stick to the right side of the road and observe the speed limits in various zones. To drive a Piraeus car rental, you must be at least 21 years old and have a valid driver's license active for one year. In addition, your blood alcohol concentration shouldn't exceed 0.05.
The busy street traffic can make it challenging to navigate some roads in the city. Rush hours are usually between 7:30 am and 9:30 am and 4 pm and 6 pm on weekdays. The most affected streets include those near the Port of Piraeus, such as Poseidon Avenue. Again, most of these roads are narrow and adjacent to buildings. Another challenging time to drive in the city is during winter. Most roads are covered in snow, affecting the stability of vehicles. So, pick a car with winter tires and drive slowly on icy roads.
