Rent a Car at Athens Airport (ATH)

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport (ATH) has a single main terminal building divided into two piers: Pier A (Schengen/domestic, gates A1–A28) and Pier B (non-Schengen international, gates B1–B44). Both piers are connected airside via a continuous concourse walkable in 5–10 minutes with no shuttle required. All airlines operate from this single terminal; no inter-terminal transfer is needed.

The car rental desks are located on the Arrivals level (Level 1, Ground Floor) of the main terminal, in the Arrivals hall toward the eastern end, past the baggage claim area. All major companies (Hertz, Avis, Europcar, Sixt, Budget, Enterprise, Goldcar, Europcar) have counters in this unified area; vehicle pick-up is from the open-air car rental parking area directly outside or in the adjacent P1 multi-storey car park, approximately 100–150 meters from the arrivals exit. Counters typically open 07:00–23:00 daily, with some operating 24/7 for late-night flights.
