Is it possible to rent a car one-way — pick up in Igoumenitsa and drop off elsewhere?
One-way rentals are not standard for small local companies, but it's worth asking. If you're planning a road trip across Greece and need to drop the car in Athens, Thessaloniki, or another city, a larger national or international company may be more suitable. For stays within the Epirus and Ionian coast area, local companies are the better choice.
What type of car is best for driving around the Igoumenitsa area?
What type of car is best for driving around the Igoumenitsa area?
A standard compact or saloon car is perfectly adequate for most routes — including Sivota, Parga, Ioannina, and the main coastal roads. If you plan to explore more remote beaches (for example around Perdika or some of the smaller coves near Sivota) or head into the mountains of Zagori, a higher-clearance vehicle or SUV will be more comfortable. Ask the rental company for advice based on your itinerary.
