International car rental companies

Rent from brands you already know

Compare cars and prices from international companies such as Avis, Budget, Hertz, National and Sixt, then reserve online through Expedia. You book and rent directly with the company you choose: the rental agreement and the car come from the company itself, not from Lefkada-Rentals and not from a local agent.

How it works

From the plane to the road in three steps

  1. Compare and reserve

    Enter Preveza airport (PVK) and your travel dates, compare the offers of the international companies and reserve the car you want.

  2. Pick up at the airport

    When you land, collect your car from the company you booked with. Your rental agreement is with them, so their terms and support apply.

  3. Drive to Lefkada

    Lefkada is about 20 km away. You reach the island over the floating bridge, which opens regularly to let boats through.

Your choice

International companies or local agents?

Before you book

Tips for renting a car at Preveza airport

  • Book early for July and August. Demand at the airport peaks in summer, so reserving ahead gives you more choice.
  • Check the insurance and excess. Compare what is included before you reserve, so there are no surprises at the desk.
  • Bring a credit card. Most international companies ask for a credit card in the main driver's name for the deposit.
  • Check your driving licence. With a licence issued outside the EU you may need an International Driving Permit; ask the rental company.
  • Allow time for the bridge. The floating bridge into Lefkada opens regularly for boats, so plan a few extra minutes.
