Most hire companies require a credit card for the security deposit. However, some local providers may accept debit cards under specific conditions. Always check the payment policy before confirming your booking.

Basic insurance, usually including Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) with an excess, is generally included in the price. Given Kefalonia’s mountainous terrain, narrow coastal roads and rural routes to beaches, many travellers choose full cover for added protection.

Yes, many companies allow one-way hires within the island, for example returning the car in Argostoli or another town instead of the airport. Additional fees may apply. Returning the vehicle to another island is generally not permitted unless arranged in advance.

No, there are no toll roads in Kefalonia. Roads near the airport and across the island are free of charge. However, be prepared for winding mountain roads and narrow village streets, especially when driving to remote beaches.

The airport offers both short-stay and long-stay parking areas. In towns such as Argostoli, parking is generally free, but spaces can be limited during peak season. Always follow local signage and avoid blocking narrow streets or private entrances.

Prices vary depending on the season, vehicle type and demand. In the low season, economy cars may start from €20–35 per day. During peak months such as July and August, rates typically range from €45–90 per day or more. Automatic cars and SUVs are in high demand and should be booked early.
