Rental Car on Ferry

Hi,

This question has been asked before but it's been a while, so wanted to see if anyone had any recent experience taking a rental car on a ferry, as it pertains to voiding insurance. I am seeing mixed answers and am having trouble getting a straight answer from the rental car company's (Alamo) customer support, most likely it is a bot.

We are planning on picking up a car in Athens and driving it around a bit before getting on the ferry to Kephalonia and then returning the car to Athens.

Thanks,
Michael

You should rent from a local Greek agency rather than Alamo, they're used to this kind of request. Some won't let you take the car on the ferry, while others will, provided you pay extra for insurance, the price of which varies depending on the agency.

FYI, the rental company I use in Athens charges €6 for ferry insurance.

Have you checked if you can bring a car on the ferry? It is not allowed iin many cases and we were not allowed to bring a car on the ferry.
We have had several fabulous tour, mostly with cars.
