Good afternoon, it’s better to issue the rights .. the more they are quickly given. They give a car, but as it was written earlier, in the event of an accident, you will find yourself without a license.

We rented a car in Halkidiki, they were satisfied with the Russian driving license, there were no problems.

It is better to make international ones and have them with you along with the usual ones. At the box office, 90 percent that the car will be given under Russian. But in case of an accident and problems with the police, consider that you are driving without a license (((

Russian rights are valid, there are no problems. I work in car rental in Crete.
аватар shumera
with Russian rights you can rent a car - this is not a disaster if there are no international ones, but many offices work only with those who also have international rights.

Thank you all very much

They rented it with Ukrainian driving license (which, in my opinion, is not much different). Got into an accident - no problems. In an accident, they don’t call the police if there are no victims.
аватар shumera
in case of an accident, the police are called in any case, as well as a call to the office and the insurance company - are required ...
аватар shumera
but 3 years ago, when you got into an accident in Crete on a rented car, no one asked for international rights, but a year ago, when renting a car, the office asked for international ones.

What is the dispute about? Or is there any problem in getting an international driving license? The issue price is 1000 rubles. One thousand! For three years. After all, it is possible to drive here without a license, even without a Russian one, and many people have been lucky for many years, they drive and do not hit. If this is so fundamentally important, try to carefully travel abroad on our rights, without international ones - go. Just to prove that this is exactly what everyone should do, it is not necessary. Good luck on the roads!

With the usual, not international, they gave a car. I didn't even think about the accident

to shumera. In case of an accident, if there are no victims and there are no disagreements between the parties, the police in Greece are not called. Everything is handled by the insurance company. We got into an accident in Crete in 2010.

to Kaici - can I ask you a question? If you insist that your situation is the only one and it only happens and you try to convince everyone here that you don’t need to call the police ... Although why did you get the idea that if you didn’t call her, then you don’t need to do this at all ..!? how did you explain the damage to the car to the office where you rented the car? What type of insurance did you have?
аватар shumera
since I personally broke the headlight on a rented car - so I know the whole procedure .. it's over, you can generally leave the scene of an accident, as is often done - but is it right and is it worth the risk and relying on "maybe" ... .. everyone decides for himself ..
аватар Kaici
If you are so interested, I write the details. Details of the accident: a Greek woman drove into our ass at a traffic light. From the damage we have - headlight, trunk, bumper, wheel, roof lifting mechanism (cabriolet); she has a leaky radiator and a correspondingly broken bumper and hood. Those. as you can see, this is not about a scratch and no one was hiding from the scene of the accident (and he couldn’t hide for obvious reasons). The culprit of the accident told us that we should not call the police, who fully admitted her guilt. She called her insurer. We called the rental office to clarify our actions, they confirmed to us that it was not enough to call the police and asked to take the name of the insurance company and the policy number from the culprit. Arriving insurer issued an act and helped us with the wheel. On the same car, we returned to the village where we took the car, where we changed it to another. Without any pretensions and surcharges.

I am not saying that this situation is the only possible one. But I got the impression that if you take a car in a normal office, then you will not have problems. And if they want to divorce you, then of course it may turn out that your insurance is not so complete, and you had to call the police, and your rights are not the same. By the way, we and our friends had damage to cars and without an accident (the power window broke, the latches on the canvas roof broke, oil flowed), we had no complaints and did not pay extra for anything. Cars were taken in an ordinary office on the street (not through guides), the insurance was full (but they have them almost everywhere), we didn’t pay extra for it separately.

to shumera. Hope I answered all your questions. I would be grateful if you share your experience of participating in an accident in Greece in more detail. Another plot of the development of events is also interesting and may be useful (and not only to me, I guess).
аватар shumera
it’s good that everything happened to you - but the fact that the Greek woman who entered you was determined not to call the police does not mean at all that all Greeks are so loyal and it’s not always the Greeks who “enter” ... therefore, in any case, you should not say that it’s absolutely not worth calling the police .. They rented it with Ukrainian rights (which, in my opinion, are not much different). Your quote: We got into an accident - there were no problems. In an accident, they don’t call the police if there are no victims.
аватар shumera
I had it so that I drove into a parked car, because it didn’t work out to pass with a truck that jumped out of the corner. (I took a car, a new Renault Megan automatic transmission with full insurance) I had a broken headlight from another car - a couple of scratches. calling the company, they told us to call the insurers and call the police, who arrived very quickly, drew up a protocol, I went with him either on the same day, or the next to the office where I rented a car - so again I painted, what happened and how. I didn’t change the car, so I drove with a broken headlight and, as if not a single policeman had ever stopped - although I also read various “horror stories” about this ..

Figase, girls... If you are so prancing abroad that the windows and bumpers are in tatters, then what are you doing at home)))
аватар Kaici
to shumera. Thanks for sharing your experience. Who knows, maybe the rules in Greece have changed (as I understand your accident happened 3 years ago), or maybe because you told the police to call the culprit. But again, I tend to think that it all depends on the rental office. And from what you wrote, I understood that you had no problems with Russian rights during an accident. Those. in fact, we agreed on the issue)))
to sigur62. The husband was driving. We drive very carefully at home.
аватар shumera
yes, no one mentioned international rights, to be honest, I didn’t even know about their existence. but for subsequent trips, I still made international ones. The next time I booked a car via the Internet in order to go straight from the airport - international ones were needed ..
