Everything thousands of our clients want to know before renting a vehicle from our agency.
Our website rentacarparos.com is part of the Pioneer Services Group, a fully licensed car rental company and a member of the Association of Tourist Rental Car Companies in Greece (STEEAE) — the only car rental association recognized by the Association of Greek Tourist Companies (SETE). Our company is fully bonded by the Greek National Tourist Board (EOT) for rental services on the islands of Paros and Antiparos, with registration number (MHTE) 1175Ε81001134601.
We are fully EU-licensed to provide car rental services and have proudly served customers since 2013.
Paros and Antiparos are among the most popular tourist destinations in Greece. During the summer, demand for rental vehicles is high, making it difficult to find availability — and prices often rise sharply.
By booking online in advance, you secure the vehicle category you want at a lower rate, avoiding seasonal price hikes. You’ll also enjoy a wider selection of cars, giving you the best chance to choose the model that suits your needs.
Drivers from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all EU member states do not need to provide an International Driving Permit (IDP).
For countries where an IDP is required, it must always be presented together with the driver’s original national license.
Please note: an International Driving Permit on its own — without the accompanying domestic license — will not be accepted.
Arrival by Air (Paros Airport)
Our representative will be waiting for you just outside the Airport Arrivals Gate, holding a sign with your name. If you’ve provided your flight number, we’ll monitor your flight and adjust for any delays.
Arrival by Ferry (Port of Paros)
When your ferry arrives, you can reach our main office in Parikia Port on foot — it’s only about 70 meters from the port gate. After booking confirmation, we’ll send you the exact pin location of our office.
Other Locations in Paros & Antiparos
For deliveries or collections at other locations, our team will contact you in advance to arrange the drop-off or pick-up of your chosen vehicle.
