Client

I would like to rent a car with Budget, to go from Corfu to the continent, and then Zakinthos, but I read in the conditions that Budget Greece will not allow a car on any ferry or ship. Can you please tell me if that restriction is correct?

Agent

That is correct and is the case with ALL rental car companies. As It's an Insurance issue.

Agent

No rental car company permits travel between the greek islands or mainland Greece and the islands.

It is recommended that you hire a car on each island.

Even if it was possible to travel between islands with a hire car, the cost would be substantial on the ferry when you take a car.

Client

OK, thank you. Then I have a problem because I want to go from Igoumenitsa to Kyllini (port to go to Zakinthos) but I do not find a possibility to drop the car at the Kyllini port. I can only frop it at a hotel in Kyllini which is 2h1/2 hours away (by foot) from the port.

Agent

Let me look at what you have searched and viewed. One moment please.

Agent

The Saturday morning could be the problem.

Agent

Try a Friday return, just to see if it makes a difference.

Client

My trip is : Igoumenitsa : from Monday 7 Aug, to Kyllini on Monday 21 Aug (it's all Mondays, no Saturday).

Agent

Then that combination is NOT possible. The website will show results ( car photos ) when it is possible.
