Car hire in Kalamata is a good choice, no matter which part of this historic city you’re visiting or staying in for a couple of reasons: it offers better value for money than using taxis, and it will give you complete freedom of choice as to when you visit the tourist attractions in the city and around it. In town, the Church of Ypapantis is a prime example of Byzantine architecture, and the Central Food Market is the place to head for world-renowned traditional Greek food. You also really should take advantage of your mobility and explore further afield in the Messenia region, particularly places like Voidokilia Beach.
As the capital of the region, the city has its own airport, Kalamata International Airport, which is just under 7 miles from the centre of Kalamata. All the car hire brands that you would typically find at a major European airport are there, including Avis, National, Hertz and Budget. Their offices are in the arrivals hall itself, and from there it’s a short walk across to the car park from where you can collect your vehicle, once you’ve checked in in person for your Kalamata car hire reservation.
When you’re booking car hire in Kalamata, bear in mind that the city can be a little maze-like. Don’t let this put you off for a moment though, because you’ll get used to the layout pretty quickly. Be very careful when negotiating narrow roads and resist the temptation to pull off from intersections too quickly, as the traditional Greek way of life is alive and well here, which includes a leisurely approach to cycling and walking. So be on the lookout for pedestrians and slow-moving bicycles. You should also pay attention to pedestrian-only streets like Iatropoulou Street and a long section of Aristonemous Street.
Traffic doesn’t get too bad in the residential areas, but it can get congested in the city centre itself, as well as in the narrow streets of the Old City. You can expect traffic to ebb and flow, with a rush hour that can last from 08:00 to 10:00 and start building up once again at between 15:30 and 16:00, reaching its zenith at around 16:30 to 17:00. Aristonemous Square is an area that is best avoided when it’s busy, even though (or perhaps because) the street itself is blocked off to vehicles. Traffic build-up can also happen on Faron and Navarinou streets.
There are several roads you should be familiar with to ensure an easier time while driving cheap car rentals in Kalamata. One is Navarinou Street. This is the main street in Kalamata and runs through the heart of the city. It's a busy street with many shops, restaurants, and cafes. Aristomenous Street is another important street in Kalamata and is known for its beautiful architecture and historic buildings. Kalamata-Messini Highway is a major highway that connects Kalamata to other cities and towns in the Peloponnese region. To easily navigate these roads, pay attention to the traffic signs and signals, as they will guide you to your destination.
The drinking and driving laws in Kalamata, Peloponnese are similar to those in the rest of Greece. The legal limit for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.05%, and drivers found to have a BAC over this limit can face fines, license suspensions, or even imprisonment. It is also prohibited to drive under the influence of drugs. Random breathalyzer testing by police is possible, so you should absolutely avoid driving cheap car rentals in Kalamata after consuming alcohol. It is always safer to use a designated driver as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can result in accidents, injuries, and loss of life and is taken very seriously by law enforcement in Greece.
It is compulsory for children under the age of 4 to be secured in an appropriate child restraint, and children aged between 4-12 must use an appropriate child safety seat or booster, according to Kalamata laws. A variety of car seats for different ages and sizes are available for rent from car rental companies, such as Alamo Rent a Car and Europcar Greece, in Kalamata.
