The Ultimate Guide to renting a Car, Scooter,  Atv in Paros

 

Exploring Paros becomes effortless when you have your own wheels. Renting a car, scooter, ATV, and more promises tailored and unforgettable island adventures. Paros, one of the most charming Cycladic islands, is a mosaic of whitewashed villages, crystal-clear waters, scenic landscapes, and vibrant local life. But if you truly want to discover its soul, you’ll need your own set of wheels.

Let’s see below everything you need to know about renting a car and a vehicle in general in Paros.

 

Why Rent a Vehicle in Paros?

While Paros is not a large island, relying on buses or taxis can limit your freedom. Some of the most breathtaking places, like hidden beaches, rural villages, and scenic hilltops, are simply not accessible by public transport. Renting a car, scooter, or ATV allows you to:

  • Visit beaches off the beaten track
  • Travel on your own schedule
  • Discover picturesque villages like Lefkes, Marpissa, and Prodromos
  • Enjoy flexibility without time constraints

 

Vehicle Types: Choose What Fits You

 

 

Cars

Best for families or when comfort is key. Popular options range from compact Fiats and OpeIs to roomy SUVs like the Peugeot 2008 or Nissan Qashqai . Expect to pay from €35/day for economy models to €45–60+ for SUVs

 

 

 

Scooters & Motorbikes

Perfect for solo travelers or couples who want fast, nimble transport. Warm-friendly options include Piaggio Liberty 50/125 or Aprilia models, from €10/day 

 

 

ATVs & Buggies

For adventure seekers who want off-road fun. Choose larger CC quads for more control. Expect to pay €23–32+/day . Safety gear is a must; local roads can be tricky.

What You’ll Need to Rent (Paperwork and Fees)

In order to rent a vehicle, you need some documentation, including the following:

  • Driver’s license: At least one year old; EU licenses are straightforward. UK, US, or non‑EU travelers are advised to get an International Driving Permit (IDP).
  • Age requirements: 21–25 minimum age; under-25 often means a young-driver fee.
  • Payment: Major credit card required for deposit. Debit cards are sometimes accepted with extra paperwork.
  • Insurance: Standard Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) included, but full coverage is recommended, especially during busy seasons.
  • Inspection protocol: Document every scratch/dent before driving off. Take photos or videos to avoid disputes.

 

Fuel Policy and Other Tips

We operate on a fair fuel policy: you receive the vehicle with a full tank and are expected to return it the same way. Fuel stations are easy to find, especially in Parikia and Naoussa.

Some insider tips:

  • Book early, especially during peak summer months (July & August)
  • Ask about free extras like baby seats, helmets, and GPS
  • Get a Paros map (free with every rental) and start marking your route!
