Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
ATV / Quad Bike FAQs
What driver’s license is required for an ATV rental in Oia?
To drive a quad bike in Santorini, you need a valid, physical Car Driver's License (Category B). You do not need a specialized motorcycle license. Note that digital copies or photos of your license on a phone are not accepted by Greek traffic police.
Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) for an ATV rental in Oia?
If your license was issued in the EU, USA, Canada, UK, Australia, or New Zealand, you do not need an IDP—your standard domestic plastic license is perfectly legal. If your license is from a country outside these regions, Greek law requires you to carry an IDP alongside your original license.
What is the minimum age to book an ATV rental in Oia?
If your license was issued in the EU, USA, Canada, UK, Australia, or New Zealand, you do not need an IDP—your standard domestic plastic license is perfectly legal. If your license is from a country outside these regions, Greek law requires you to carry an IDP alongside your original license.
Are helmets included with my quad rental?
Yes, absolutely. Wearing a helmet is legally mandatory in Greece (with steep €900 fines for non-compliance). ATV Rentoia provides sanitized, high-quality helmets for both the driver and the passenger completely free of charge.
Can two people ride on one ATV?
Yes. All of our quads are fully road-legal and equipped with comfortable seating and footrests designed for a driver and one passenger
What engine size (cc) should I choose for two people?
Santorini is incredibly steep and hilly. If you are riding tandem (two people), we highly recommend skipping the small 150cc models. Opting for a 450cc or 520cc quad ensures you have enough power to climb the hills of Pyrgos and Oia comfortably
Can I drive my rental ATV off-road or on the beaches?
No. Standard rental insurance only covers driving on paved public roads. Driving on dirt tracks, sand dunes, or beaches is strictly prohibited and will void your insurance coverage.
Is insurance included in the rental price?
Every rental includes complimentary Third-Party Liability Insurance. We also offer optional Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) upgrades at checkout to reduce your financial excess in the event of accidental damage.
Do you offer hotel delivery for an ATV rental in Oia?
Yes! To make your vacation entirely stress-free, we offer free vehicle delivery and collection directly to your hotel, villa, or Airbnb anywhere within Oia and the surrounding villages.
How does the fuel policy work for quads?
We operate on a fair "same-to-same" fuel policy. Your vehicle will be delivered to you with a certain amount of fuel (e.g., half a tank), and you simply return it with the same level.
