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.

Very pleasant experience. The car was clean and in good condition. Staff checked the car with us before and after return. This is much better service than we have experienced at other sixt stations.

Very smooth experience. I only rented the car for 1 day but everything was perfect. Car in very good condition, people were friendly, nothing to complain about. It’s not the cheapest company but this is why you pay more. Overall I recommend!

Great team, great location, easily walkable from our location in Plaka. Drop off is easy, we were able to just drop it on the pavement in front of the shop.
The car had a slight issue where the fuel indicator wasn't registering as full, so I feared a fine on arrival, but I showed them my receipt which was timestamped a few minutes before drop off and they checked the and saw the car could only take a few extra euro, so no charge at all.
The person that inspected the damage was very thorough when handing the car over, as there were a few dings in the car on pickup, again I was worried I may miss one, but he had highlighted them all on pickup, and none had been missed when inspecting the car on drop off. Good honest car rental is always a great sign.

The car was high in km's, gearbox needs a service but other than the experience with car the personnel at Sixt is fantastic. The best support team to deal with.
