Hi Roger,

As far as I know, in Greece, Uber drivers are basically licenced taxi drivers. Prices are regulated and the billed amounts are roughly the same.

UberX service does not exist in Greece.

So yes, you can use Uber or Freeone app, but you will end up with a regular Taxi.

Frankly speaking, I never booked a cab in Athens, since public transportation are good. On the other hand, car rentals begins at 8 EUR per day in low season...  Regards, T.

Yes, I have to agree with the public transport being very good. Been travelling back and forth to Greece for 10 years now and I think we got a taxi once (late checkout hotel to airport). On the islands of Crete, Rhodes, and Corfu public transport was regular, cheap, and easy to figure out. On the main land loads of public transport around Athens, and from Corinth hourly trains all day. For off the beaten track, we hire a car. Even if it’s just to get us from where we are staying to leave at train station. Cheaper and more convenient. But that’s all just our experience.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.

Did try to book a car through Wisecars pick up at Athens international airport but because I am now 76 years old there was just nothing on offer !

So while overseas I use Uber/Grab/Didi and down under I am lucky to still be able to drive my Corolla (15 years old but only 166k at the odometer)...

@rogergarinmichaud Have you tried using booking [dot] com and go to the car rental section? In the search settings, you can tell them your exact age, as well as the usual info for pickup and collection etc. Maybe they will offer you something?
