Premium sedans, convertibles and executive cars in Athens, arranged through vetted local suppliers.
Same as pickup
Unlike the economy fleet, premium cars in Athens rarely sit on an open lot waiting for a walk-up customer. Mercedes and BMW sedans, convertibles for the coast road and larger executive SUVs are held by a handful of specialist suppliers and released against confirmed bookings. The practical consequence is simple: book ahead. A week of notice is usually enough outside July and August; in high summer, two to three weeks is safer.
The grid above shows every car listed for your dates, and the premium end of the fleet appears there whenever stock is released. If the exact class you want is not visible, send a request through the search form with your dates anyway: suppliers regularly position premium vehicles on demand, delivered to the airport, the port at Piraeus or directly to your hotel.
Pricing follows the season. As a reference point, the everyday fleet in Athens runs €25-75 per day in summer depending on dates, and premium classes sit well above that band, typically at a multiple of it. Every quote you receive through this site states the full price with insurance before you commit.
The Athens Riviera is the obvious answer: the coastal avenue through Glyfada and Vouliagmeni down to Cape Sounion is one of the best convertible roads in Greece, and valet staff at the seaside restaurants are used to rental plates.
Business visitors use executive sedans for meetings spread between the centre, the northern suburbs and the airport corridor, where a comfortable motorway car makes three trips a day painless. And for weddings or events, suppliers will deliver a detailed, fuelled car to the venue by arrangement.

Request with your flight details and the supplier positions the car at arrivals; most sedans in this class carry full insurance in the quoted price.
The 70 km run from the city to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion is the reason to book one. Plan it for a weekday morning; summer weekends fill the coast road by noon.
Convertible stock is the scarcest premium class in Athens, so this is where booking two or more weeks ahead genuinely matters.
Premium crossovers and SUVs suit families heading to Peloponnese beach houses: luggage for four, comfort on rougher village roads, and presence when you arrive.
Confirm luggage capacity with the supplier if you travel with more than four large cases; they will tell you honestly which model fits.
Full insurance is the norm in this segment, with the excess amount stated on the offer. Read it before you sign: on premium cars the difference between basic and full cover is worth the small premium.
Airport, Piraeus port and central hotels are standard delivery points, included or priced clearly in the quote. The car arrives fuelled and detailed, with the paperwork ready to sign.
Expect a minimum age of 25 to 28 and at least two or three years on your licence for premium classes. A deposit is usual here even when economy cars advertise none; the amount is on the offer.
Premium stock in Athens goes to the first confirmed booking. Send your dates and let the suppliers show you what they can deliver.
