Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers on insurance, payments, pickup, and driving tips across Crete.

What is Karpadu?+

Karpadu is a Greek car rental platform that helps you compare and book affordable rental cars from trusted local providers across Greece. Whether you're landing in Athens, Thessaloniki, or heading to the islands — Crete, Naxos, and more — we have you covered with local pricing and flexible options.

How do I rent a car with Karpadu?+

Simply choose your desired pick-up and drop-off locations (such as airports, ports, or hotels), select your rental dates, pick your preferred vehicle, and complete your secure online booking.

Are there any age requirements to rent a car?+

Yes, drivers must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driver's license. Use the age filter on our homepage to see all partners that accept your age — each provider sets their own minimum, so the filter makes it easy to find the right match.

What payment methods do you accept?+

We accept cash, debit cards, credit cards, and prepaid cards. If you choose full insurance, you can pay at pickup with zero deposit, and no credit card required. For basic insurance, some rental providers may require a refundable deposit and a credit card. All payment conditions are displayed clearly during the booking process.

Can I modify or cancel my booking?+

Yes, you can modify or cancel your booking for free up to 48 hours before the rental starts. Check our cancellation policy for further details.

Do I need to pay a deposit to rent a car?+

No. With Premium Insurance, your rental comes with zero deposit at pickup. If you select basic insurance, some rentals may require a refundable deposit and a credit card as a security guarantee. We always show the conditions clearly before you book.

Is insurance included in my rental?+

Yes. Basic insurance is always included in your rental. You can also upgrade to Premium Insurance, which covers everything with zero deposit at pickup and no credit card required.

Can you deliver the car to my hotel or location?+

It depends on your pick-up location. If you pick up at an airport or port, delivery to your accommodation is generally not available — you collect the car directly there. If you select a city centre pick-up and the partner offers delivery, you can always send a request and we will do our best to arrange it.

What should I do in case of an accident or emergency?+

If an accident occurs, contact your rental provider's emergency support and local authorities immediately. Keep documentation handy for insurance purposes and assistance.

Is it more expensive to book through a broker like Karpadu?+

Not at all — it is usually cheaper. Because our local partners are displayed side-by-side on our platform, they have to keep their prices highly competitive to win your booking. On top of that, we strictly vet every company we work with, so you get the best local prices combined with the peace of mind that you are renting from a reliable partner who truly respects our customers.

Does the Premium Insurance (0 Excess) cover absolutely everything?+

Premium Insurance reduces your excess to zero for standard accidents — but like all car rental companies, your insurance is completely voided if you break the rental agreement or local laws. You will be responsible for the full cost of damages in cases such as: Traffic Law Violations (e.g., running a red light, ignoring stop signs, failing to yield); Off-Road Driving (unpaved or poorly paved areas — strictly prohibited and not covered by any insurance type); Intoxication (driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol).
