Explore Athens with your car rental
Athens is a city full of historical sites and preserved ancient ruins. Some of the most iconic attractions are the Acropolis Citadel with the Parthenon temple, right by the SIXT branch, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. If you drive your Athens Acropolis car rental out of the city center, you can explore the beautiful coast and beaches like Kalamaki or Glyfada. A great spot to get a panoramic view of the entire city is from Mount Lycabettus, the highest point in central Athens.

Rented an Audi A4. Clean car, efficient pick up and drop off. Only four stars because they don’t offer overnight drop off, so I parked the car nearby and went in the morning for hand off - wish had known earlier (maybe I didn’t research enough) but still would’ve made the same decision given how centrally it’s located

They were very very nice, efficient, very informative, thorough, helpful, and went out of their way to give us recommendations on where to go sightseeing.
We rented an Audi A4 because that's all they had available when we walked in looking for a rental car. They gave us such a sweet deal on it that we did NOT have to pay 01 cent on any damage to our because it a fully insured, and we did hit a curb while parking and the car did have some damage. So we were very very happy with the results.
I DO HIGHLY recommend this car rental.

Staff extremely helpful both by car pickup and drop off. I picked up the car at night with my boyfriend and we didn’t see a massive scratch on the bottom of the car and neither did the Sixt employee, but when we went to hand it Over, it was very visible and the guy went inside to check if it was already there even though we didn’t tell him it wasn’t us because we couldn’t prove
