Rent a car in Igoumenitsa: two local companies, both by the port

Step off the ferry and drive. Two independent, family-run rental companies work right beside Igoumenitsa port — IonVolt with an all-electric, all-automatic fleet, and Rent All Cars Ntasios, a Suzuki dealer with petrol cars, 4x4s, vans and VIP Mercedes. Both deliver free to the port and to Ioannina and Preveza airports, and you book directly with the owners.

Car rental at Igoumenitsa port: how pickup works

Igoumenitsa has two ferry terminals. Message the company your ferry name and arrival time, and the car is waiting at the right one.

  • International terminal (south pier): ferries from Ancona, Bari, Brindisi and Venice, with direct access to the Egnatia Odos.
  • Domestic terminal (north pier): Corfu and Paxos crossings, close to the town centre.
  • Night arrival? IonVolt hands over until 22:00 and later on request; Rent All Cars arranges out-of-hours delivery under its terms.

Read our Port of Igoumenitsa guide for terminals, check-in and parking.

Driving in Igoumenitsa: rules, tolls, fuel

  • Driving licence: EU/EEA licences are valid as they are. Since November 2021 licences from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Gibraltar are accepted without an International Driving Permit; most other non-EU licences need an IDP alongside the national licence.
  • What to bring: licence, passport or ID and a credit card in the main driver’s name. Minimum age is usually 21.
  • Egnatia Odos tolls: the motorway east to Ioannina and Thessaloniki is tolled by distance; pay by card or cash at the booths. Tolls and fines are paid by the renter.
  • Fuel & charging: petrol cars go full-to-full. For electric cars, IonVolt explains where to charge across Epirus.
  • Rules of the road: drive on the right, seatbelts for everyone, zero tolerance for phones at the wheel; coastal roads to Sivota and Parga are winding — allow time.
  • Albania: taking a rental car across the border needs the company’s written permission and insurance papers — ask before you book.
  • Corfu by ferry: possible with both companies if you say so at booking.
