In cases like these, the best thing to do is to hire a car. Renting a car will allow you to take advantage of this convenience even for just one day, perhaps for your departure or return journey or to reach a specific location. Travelling with a car gives you more freedom, public transport in Zakynthos is erratic, uncomfortable and overcrowded, and for evening outings it is often lacking.
For car rental at Zakynthos airport you can turn to Europcar, Avis, Sixt, Budget, Hertz and some local car rental companies: each of them has an office at the airport arrivals area and a branch office at the port.
A rental car in Zakynthos gives you the opportunity to reach lesser-known areas and to travel instead of just sightseeing. In order not to have any nasty surprises, however, one must study the agreements carefully: as far as the payment phase is concerned, the credit card must be in the name of the driver or one of the travellers. The same applies to insurance, which can generally be with or without a deductible. In the latter case, any accident will have a certain percentage of overdraft, and will have to be paid out of one’s own pocket until the deductible is evened out.
It is just a question of understanding how to make a good deal by comparing the various offers proposed by car rental companies, and establish a good contract well before departure, because you can often get a discount. Rental cars are often brand new with the latest safety features and gadgets that even our own car often lacks.
They can also have lower fuel consumption, being of the latest generation, which is a good point considering that the cost of fuel in Greece is not as cheap as in other summer destinations.
Finally, the last tip is to consider the fuel policy in the price of car rental in Zakynthos. You can choose between full/full, in which you receive the car with a full tank of petrol and return it with the tank at the same level, or full/empty, in which you have to run out of petrol completely because it will not be reimbursed.
