There is a lot to see and do in Skiathos, the jewel of the Aegean Sea set in the Northern Sporades; to get the most out of a vacation on this legendary Greek island, the best thing to do is to book a rental car.
By doing so, you can admire the incredible beaches and hidden tavernas of Skiathos, and make the trip an unforgettable discovery for anyone visiting these beautiful shores. Why go to Skianthos and rent a car? There is something magical around every corner; hidden beaches, enchanting views, magical sunsets: these are just some of the wonders that a rental car will allow you to discover, in complete freedom and autonomy.
Several car rental agencies are located at the airport of Skiathos. Use the form on this page, compare all the offers and choose in peace and security the ideal car for your needs. The tourist season runs from May to October, but during the months of July and August the island is very busy and you may not find a car available to rent at the airport of Skiathos.
The important thing for those who are going to choose a car to rent for their vacation or business trip is to compare the best Skiathos car rental offers already some months before the trip.
At the arrivals terminal of the international airport there are the major international car rental companies, such as Europcar, Avis, Sixt, Budget, Hertz, alongside some less known local car rental companies.

It is possible to rent a car in Skiathos with the aim of reaching its more than 60 beaches and coves, from the most famous and crowded to the most remote and isolated ones. The best thing to do, to avoid a scarce availability of cars and to get the best deal, is to book the car in advance via internet well before departure.
The island is not large, but a rental car will allow you to venture off the beaten path to find some of the most beautiful and peaceful bays and coves. As for payment, when booking make sure that the credit card is in the name of the driver, or one of the travelers.
Finally, pay attention to the fuel policy: with the full/full tank, i.e. receiving the car with a full tank to be returned at the same level, you will seem to pay more, but the savings are guaranteed: with the full/empty in fact, the company will charge the cost of refueling and gasoline at a much higher price than normal, not to mention that it is necessary to exhaust the entire tank, because any remaining balance will not be refunded.
