Prices and availability for Zakynthos come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Zakynthos splits neatly in two: a flat, easy east coast where Laganas, Tsilivi and the town sit, and a wild west of cliffs, viewpoints and roads that climb steadily before dropping steeply to the coves below. The Navagio viewpoint, the west-coast villages and the boats to the Blue Caves at Agios Nikolaos in the north are all reached by road, and the descents to beaches like Porto Limnionas reward a car you trust. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices for pick-up at the airport or your resort.

Renting a car in Zakynthos: common questions
What car should I choose for the west-coast descents?
Something with a bit of engine and decent brakes rather than the smallest car on the list. The roads down to the western coves are steep, with hairpins and gravel edges, and a slightly larger engine makes the climb back up in the heat far less stressful. Avoid anything wide, as the lanes are narrow once you leave the main road.
Where is the best place to base myself for driving?
Zakynthos Town or the east coast between Tsilivi and Alykes puts you on the flat roads and within easy reach of the airport, with the west coast an hour's drive away. Laganas is convenient for the south and the turtle beaches but busy in the evenings, so if you want quiet nights and daytime driving, look north of the town.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Zakynthos, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
