I like the mini cars. They are good on gas, fit safely through the narrow streets and you can find parking much easier.

Parking on whole island of Samos is for free. Roads are narrow, small car is in benefit.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Samos

  • Samos is an island town in Greece. A wise way to make sure you have a nice holiday or tour of the city and beaches is to hire a car in Samos. You can get car hire in Samos through KAYAK, from global car hire companies like Avis, Budget, Dollar, Abbycar, AutoUnion and others. Hiring a car in Samos will give you great freedom and flexibility to travel and visit a beach like Potami Beach, Livadaki Beach, Lemonakia Beach and others. Also, you can visit historical sites like the Aqueduct of Eupalinos and Heraion (Temple of Hera). Having hired a car will help you visit all these and other places without fixing your schedule on public transport.
  • Travelling by air, you will land at Samos Airport (SMI). Samos car hire companies have their desks in the arrival hall area, where they are accessible by everyone. Samos Airport is a busy airport; hence, booking your car hire in Samos in advance through KAYAK is a good idea. It's a wise way to have your car type and transmission ready before you start your trip. After arriving at the airport and taking your luggage, head to your car hire desk for document verification, which takes a minute or two; then the car hire agent will direct you to where your car is parked.
  • Remember you will be driving on the right-hand side of the road. Also, it would be wise to keep in mind that there is no right turn on red traffic lights; you have to wait for the light to turn green. You will need an international driving licence and to be of at least 18 years of age to drive in Samos. It's mandatory to always have your seatbelt on while driving, and no child under the age of 10 can be in the front seat.
  • Driving in Samos city is very relaxing, as in rare cases you will find traffic on the roads, even during summer when there are many hire cars around. The challenge of driving in Samos city is that the streets are narrow to fit large cars. Most roads are unpaved, and you must drive through gravel and dirt to visit the beautiful beaches in Samos. During summer, it can get hot, so remember to book a car with functional AC.
  • Small hire cars in Samos are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is best for driving in Samos?

    Samos is a hilly town, and the best car hire in Samos is a compact, cross-over or mini-SUV. They will fit nicely on Samoa's city roads and provide comfort, mobility and safety. It will only take you around 1h 45min to drive around Samos Island, to enjoy a great view of the beach along the way. Hiring an SUV or 4x4 vehicle is a better option if you will be driving off road and down the mountain, as they provide you with more safety and comfort; they will be a bit of a challenge in town, however.

  • What is the speed limit in Samos?

    Samos is an island. The speed limit is generally 50 kph in town and 110 kph outside of town. Samos has no highway; even driving at 100 kph feels too quick. You may need to slow down. As you go, check on the road signpost to be sure of the required speed limit if you are unsure which road you are using.

  • Where are the best places to park in Samos?

    Free public parking in Samos is located at Panagia Diasozousa and close to AVIN. Other parking may provide the first 2 hours free, and you’ll pay a few euros for any extra hour. City roads and streets are narrow, and you cannot park on them. With the help of online research, you will easily find a car park near you.
