Top tips for hiring a car in Paros
- Greek traffic authorities take road rules seriously, yet the villages sometimes lack adequate signage, which can make driving tricky for tourists. Follow basic rules to minimise penalties. Stay off your mobile phone or you will receive a hefty fine, stick to the speed limits and never jump a red light. Greece is also a country that drives on the right-hand of the road and you will need to get accustomed to that. Be sure to not indulge in the local wines too much as there is a zero-tolerance rule for drinking and driving too – and don’t be thrown off by the large amounts of highly-confident motorcycle drivers on the islands.
- If you have a young child with your group you will need to get a car seat from your car hire company. All children under the age of three must use a car seat and no child under ten may sit in the front seat by law. You can hire these as add-ons from any car hire company, as well as a myriad of other extras to make your car hire in Paros both lawful and comfortable, such as second driver options and Sat Nav to help you find your way around the island.
- Car hire in Paros will mostly offer you automatic transmission cars to choose from, especially on newer vehicles. If you are used to manual driving and would prefer this, you can include this beforehand on your booking.
- Book your car hire in Paros at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini hire cars in Paros are around 36% cheaper than other car types, on average

Should I hire a car in Paros?

You can move freely through the island in much less time than public transport can offer and with all the beautiful places to visit the freedom of a car hire will come in handy.
