Standard Inclusions and Extra Costs

Local Naxos rental agreements usually include the items below in the base rate.

Standard inclusions (verified across local Naxos companies):

  • • Unlimited mileage
  • • Third-party liability insurance
  • • CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) with an excess of €650–1,750
  • • Free baby / child seat — common among local companies
  • • Free Naxos island map
  • • 24-hour roadside assistance
  • • Air conditioning
  • • Free pickup and drop-off at Naxos Airport and Naxos Port
  • • Free additional driver — offered by local companies like Enjoy Naxos Car

Not included (costs extra):

  • • SCDW: €8.50–16/day
  • • Full coverage / zero excess: €6.50–35/day
  • • After-hours pickup / drop-off: about €20 + VAT at Auto Tour Naxos
  • • GPS device

Deposit Amounts and Insurance Options

Insurance LevelExcessDeposit HoldDaily Cost
CDW only€650–1,750€650–1,000Included
SCDW€160–300€160–400€8.50–16/day
Full Coverage (FDW)€0~€100 fuel deposit€6.50–35/day

CDW usually carries the highest excess. SCDW reduces the excess, and full coverage reduces the excess to zero but may still leave a fuel deposit. Hertz, Drivetime Naxos, and AbbyCar use different deposit models, so check supplier terms before payment.

Standard CDW is usually void on unpaved roads. Gravel sections are reported on routes such as Plaka access, the east coast, and Kalantos. Full coverage is the safer option for drivers planning those routes. Read more in our Naxos driving tips.

Expert Booking Tips for Naxos

  • July and August: Book 2 to 3 months ahead. Automatic cars sell out first.
  • Automatic minivans: Book at least 6 months ahead because island supply is low.
  • Pricing window: KAYAK data recommends booking at least 5 weeks ahead for below-average pricing.
  • Shoulder season (May, Sep, Oct): Walk-in rentals and later bookings are still possible.
  • Last-minute summer bookings: July and August bookings are usually more expensive and more limited.
  • Rate comparison: Compare aggregators such as DiscoverCars and KAYAK with direct company websites.
  • Direct contact: Contact local companies directly or email [email protected] for rate checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

A manual economy car is the cheapest car hire Naxos option. Wheels4u lists a Seat Mii manual from €20 per day, while aggregator listings can fall to €13 to €14 per day in winter. In July and August, the minimum listed rate rises to about €45 per day.

Automatic car hire in Naxos usually costs €5 to €15 per day more than manual. Shoulder-season compact automatics are listed at €25 to €35 per day, while July and August rates rise to €55 to €80 per day. Automatic cars can sell out first, so book 3 to 5 months ahead.

Unlimited mileage is usually included in Naxos rentals. Local companies commonly include unlimited mileage in the base rate. Check the final booking terms before payment in case an aggregator listing uses different rules.

Full insurance makes sense if you plan to drive on gravel approaches or want a zero-excess policy. Standard CDW usually excludes tyres, underbody, windscreen, and off-road damage. Drivers staying on paved routes can compare the SCDW cost against the deposit reduction before choosing.

Most standard CDW rentals require a credit-card hold. The ranges are €650 to €1,000 for CDW, €160 to €400 with SCDW, and about €100 for fuel under full coverage. Drivetime Naxos and AbbyCar use different deposit rules, so read the supplier terms before booking.
