We are a french couple who’d like to rent a car. We don’t have a credit card only a debit card. In france there is no problem to rent with a debit card but in Greece it’s more difficult. We arrive Monday 19th at 7pm at Athenes Airport and we would like to rent until Thursday at 6 pm.

Some suppliers accept DC. The card must have a MasterCard or VISA logo and your name embossed (raised) on the front. It cannot be a pre-paid card. There are two ways, to view which supplier accepts DC (1) Next to each car photo is a link entitled IMPORTANT INFORMATION, click this link to view conditions. Try a few different suppliers as they do vary. CASH is not accepted: (2) On the search results page (where the available car photos are displayed), down the left-hand side menu at the bottom you may see a tick box, to filter out suppliers who do not accept Debit.

Client

I don't find any cars where debit card is accepted unfortunately

Then it is not possible. Greece is one of the few countries that do not accept debit cards.
