Driver’s age

The minimum age to rent a car in Paros from Best Paros Rentals is 24 years. For ATVs and Scooters, the driver must be at least 25 years old.

Driver’s License

The driving license must be issued at least one year before the pick-up date.
National driving licenses issued in the EU, the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, the USA, Canada, & Australia are accepted.
Citizens of all other countries must have a valid International Driver’s License along with their National Driver’s License.

Advance payment amount

The advance payment amount can be paid online from our website with credit, debit, and prepaid cards.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Diners & Discover

All card payments are processed through the electronic payment platform “Nexi e-Commerce” of Nexi Payments Greece S.A., which uses encryption TLS 1.2 with encryption protocol 128-bit (Secure Sockets Layer—SSL). Encryption is a way of coding information until it reaches its recipient, who will be able to decode it using the appropriate key.

The advance amount can also be deposited into our bank account.

Balance Amount

The remaining amount can be paid in cash, credit, debit, or prepaid card when you pick up the vehicle.

Warranty amounts – Security Deposit for all vehicles

The security deposit amount depends on the chosen insurance package. When picking up the vehicle, the driver must have a credit or debit card, which will be used for the security deposit. The amount of the security deposit will be reserved from this card. This amount will no longer be available for immediate use on your card. This amount will be returned in full at the end of the rental as long as no other charges arise. The release time of the amount depends on the issuing bank of the card and not on our company. We release the security deposit amount immediately at the end of the rental.

Alternatively, cash can be used for the security deposit amount.

Traffic fines or other administrative sanctions

The renter must pay traffic fines or any administrative sanctions that may result from any violation of the Greek Traffic Law. The renter can pay the fines in cash or with a credit card. If any fine becomes required after the rental period, our company will charge the renter’s credit card the amount of the fine.
If the police or other authorities remove the registration plates during the rental, the renter must compensate our company immediately. The compensation amount will be calculated by multiplying the total number of days that the vehicle will be without registration plates by the per-day rental price from the current season.

Cancellation Policy

If you wish to cancel your reservation, you have to send a cancellation notice email and receive an answer that we have received your cancellation notice.

• If the reservation is canceled (for any reason) up to 15 days before arrival, the deposit is 100% refunded.
• If the reservation is canceled (for any reason) within the last 14 days before arrival, the deposit is NOT refundable.
• If the renter does not meet the rental conditions (driving license, age, and credit card), Best Paros Rentals is not responsible and has the option to cancel the reservation without refunding the deposit.

It is noted that our company is not responsible for cancellations or ship or plane delays. In any such case, the renter must inform the company in time of any modification or change of his reservation.

No Show

The deposit is NOT refunded if the renter does not show up on the agreed day and time at the agreed location to pick up the vehicle without having previously informed the company to modify the reservation.

Fuel Policy

The renter must return the vehicle with the same fuel level as delivered. If the return fuel level is less, he will be charged the difference. If the return fuel level is more, there is no money returned.
