We will refuse rental if  we think that the driver is not safe for any reason (e.g lack of skill, suspected alcohol use etc)

To drive a Motor Inn vehicle, the driver must meet the following requirements:

2. Hold a valid driver's license for at least one year
3. Be authorized by Motor Inn and have signed the rental contract

• For scooters up to 50cc, drivers must hold an EU class B or AM driver's license and have at least one year's experience on riding scooters. Non-EU drivers must have a motorcycle driver's permit, even for scooters under 50cc.
• For scooters and motorbikes up to 125cc, Greek law requires an EU driver's license A1 or a motorcycle driver's license for non-EU countries. For vehicles over 125cc, an EU A or A2 license and a full motorcycle license are required for drivers from countries outside the EU. Please be aware that in Greece, it is necessary to have a motorcycle driver's license A1 to operate a scooter with an engine size over 50cc, even if you hold a B license that allows you to operate a 125cc scooter in your home country.
• Driver's licenses recognized in Greece include those issued by all EU member states, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland, USA, Canada, Australia, UK, and all countries listed in the Vienna 1968 UN treaty on Road traffic. Motor inn will deny the leasing charging 1 day’s rental in case the driver does not have all the needed documents or does not have the proper age (21 years)

TRANSPORTATION OF THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE SANTORINI

Do not take the vehicle outside the island where it was rented unless you have written consent from Motor Inn. To get permission you must leave a security deposit as pre authorization on the credit card and agree to return the vehicle to Santorini at your own expense in case of breakdown, even if it is not your fault.

INSURANCE TERMS

At Motor Inn, all rental vehicles are covered for third-party liability as required by Greek law. In addition to this, we offer Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) insurance, which are optional and cover the driver's responsibility for the rental car.

The CDW insurance has a deductible that varies from €300 to €900 depending on the vehicle category. When filling out the reservation form, you will be notified of the deductible

for the vehicle you are renting. For added peace of mind, you can opt for the SCDW insurance, which has zero deductible.

Please note that violating the rental terms and conditions, such as driving off-road or under the influence of alcohol or other substances, will void the CDW or SCDW insurance. It is important to drive responsibly and abide by all traffic laws and regulations.
