Anyone have recommendations for car rental companies in Ioannina? I'd like to rent a car for a few days to explore the region (Zagorihoria and Vikos Gorge, Metsovo, Parga). Don't need a car for Ioannina itself.
Thank you.

I was looking into car rental last time we were there but ended up not going ahead as we filled our days in Ioannina! Friends there recommended who to go to though, this one was top of the list,

They all said avoid Hertz, there was a couple of others they also said were fine, I’ll have a look see if I can locate them & post links if I find them :) We’re going back for 6 days in October so I need to start my planning soon anyway!

Thank you, @salnav. I will check with that rental agency. Please let me know of the other options recommended by your friends if you come across them. Have fun planning your October trip. Do you know what the weather typically like in the mountains north of Ioannina at that time? I am going in the last week of September.

We were in Ioannina itself last September, expect a mix, especially once you go up in the mountains, you may get lucky but best to be prepared for anything! Layers, cooler evenings, particularly once you leave Ioannina. Just to show how unpredictable it can be, here we are, 10th June & I saw a video of the weather in Ioannina as it was at 4pm today, a massive hailstorm! We’re going in October & I’ll be packing for all weathers myself :)

Thanks. I always travel with layers, so rain and cool weather aren't an issue. I just hope it doesn't snow at the end of September. Driving in the mountains in snowy weather is not my cup of tea :)
