Pick-up and return of the vehicles
The pick-up of the vehicles is exclusively at the company’s premises. The lease applies exclusively to the area of Nea Paralia for four-wheeled vehicles, and sections of the bicycle network of Thessaloniki for two-wheeled vehicles (the specific limits are defined by the store manager).

If necessary, a credit card may be requested for the rental of a vehicle, even if the rental is paid in cash.
Personal Data Protection Policy
The company processes the personal data stored in the database of the rental system, respecting the principles of personal data protection provided by the European General Data Protection Regulation. The information is used in order for the company’s staff to respond to your requests and to provide you with the best service in compliance with this policy. For any questions or recommendations, please address them to the responsible company department.

The company reserves the right to make any indicated changes to these rules at any time.
