BIKELAND is a great place to hire scooters and quad bikes. They charged me 10 Euros a day when others wanted 15 and 20 Euros for a basic scooter. Great guys and very helpful. They will even do quad bikes for 15 Euros. All are topped up with fuel and ready to go. You can even keep your rental until 8pm the day you need to return it. Please Note: YOU MUST HAVE YOUR DRIVER’S LICENCE TO RENT VEHICLES IN GREECE. Bikeland – rent from theses guys! They are located in Fira.

 Smart Cars are a smart choice for Santorini by cnango We wanted to rent a small automatic car for those narrow hilly streets of Santorini and our hotel manager recommended Manos. We were quoted $60 Euros a day which sounded high to me but the big name car rental outlets were even more expensive. We could have saved more money by getting a different small car and even more by renting one with a stick shift but I'm glad we didn't. I had seen Smart Cars in Australia and have heard they are popular in Europe. But we dont' have them in the USA yet,hopefully they will be available soon. The neat thing about this tiny car is they only take a 1/2 of a car space when you parallel park them on the street. You can also park them head on to the curb without sticking out and they are perfect for the narrow streets of Santorini. Added Note: Janet (our Santorini VT Meet host) told Jeff the following day that we could have haggled to get the cost way down, so evidently the prices are nogotiable.

 Dimitris card by Orkaena No doubts about advantages of get your own transport, for example a rented car. Fira is plenty of car rentals agencies, but we choose one in Oia . Close to the bus stop square there is "Auto Europe" agency, managed by a very kind guy, Dimitris. Ask for him and he will solve your needs at a convenient price for your car.

 Smart by parsix First apologies for the bike lovers for what I am to say. ....Bikes seem to be very popular in the islands. I personally think they are dangerous and are little scare of them.... so this was a good option.... If like me you decide to stay at Oia it is convinient to have a car, if you add up 1euro per bus ride it can add up to a lot. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

There are numerous places to rent on the island, but beware!! If you do not have a motorcycle license in your own country, then SOME places will not rent to you. As was my case. But, as I found out all along my trip, just keep asking, you'll find someone who wants money bad enough. This is that place... Moto-Piazza in Oia (Ia). They were "OK" with me not having a moto license, as long as I was, "careful". I assured them that I would be... Leave a Comment Theme: MotorcyclePhone: 22860 71200

We did not intend to hire a car, however the hotel manager convinced us that it would enable us to see more of the island during our 2 day stay. She proved to be correct and suggested we hire the vehicle from 6pm so we could drive to Oia for the sunset and also have the car for most of the next day. The manager made the arrangements and the car arrived at 6 pm, 50 Euros for 24 hours and the agent told us 10 Euros of petrol would be enough for a day's driving. Drivers Licence had to be produced, little paperwork, insurance cover included in rental except for excess gap. I had Visa insurance for the gap so he said best to pay the 50 Euros with my credit card. Our vehicle was a Nissan Micra, a small car with plenty of room in the front if you move the seats back. It was a 4 door car, and at 6 foot 5 inches tall I was very comfortable driving it. The car was well worth the money and enabled us to get around the island at leisure, including a great lunch beachside at Kamari Beach.

By this point I had been to Rome, and therefore experienced the gangs of Vespas. But, it did not prepare me for Santorini. I'm not saying that Santorini drivers were worse than Rome's, far from it, but the sheer number compared with the islands population surprised me. It was the first time i saw little kids, who normally fix up their bicycles with crome and cool things for their wheels, etc., actually riding a fixed up motorcycle... at maybe 12 years old!! One place wouldn't even let me rent one, because I didnt ahve a motorcycle license... and I'm 26!!! Crazy. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

by gmadmax The most easier way to travel arround Santorini is to rent a motorbike. Its cheap,fast, you can escape city's traffic and gives you the oportunity to stop wherever you like! Of course you have to know to ride, if you dont....rent a car! Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

by Janni67 Santorini is such a small island and buses always seemed to be fully packed with tourists. That's why we rented the biggest scooter we could find. Since we stayed in Kamari which is in the middle of the east coast of Santorini, it was easy to explore the island in two parts, to south and north from Kamari. Renting a scooter seems to be a popular thing to do especially among youngsters, but who says the agelimit is 25? ;))) Prices are reasonable, but check that full insurance is included before you rent. Travel agents often co-operate with some local renting company and you may get discounts. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

 Da Boyz on Da Bikes- Santorini by Groverdean ....is by motorcycle. It is a great way. However, this comes with a big warning. I was on Santorini for near 2 months. We were told by locals not to hire motorcycles because most are not roadwirthy. Alot are hired to travellers who do not have a license as well. We often heard of deaths on the roads by motorcyles. We were told that the government keeps these statistics quiet as it doesnt want to discourage tourists. Apparently over 50 tourists died on Santorini in 1993 on the roads due to motorcylces, the year I was there. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle
