Romani Santorini Car Rental
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Car Rental Often Feels Stressful
Renting a car can come with unnecessary stress: deposits, blocked credit cards, uncertainty about damage responsibility, and terms that only become clear after something goes wrong.
Another common issue is access. Many companies make it difficult for responsible young adults to rent, even when they have real-world driving experience.
At Romani, we aim to reduce that friction. We provide Santorini car rentals with no credit card required and no deposit, and we offer an optional full insurance package for customers who want extra peace of mind. We also provide rentals for drivers over 21 years old with at least one year of driving experience.
Our Policy (Clear and Transparent)
Our core policy focuses on clarity and reducing friction:
- No credit card required
- No deposit
- Clear pricing
- No hidden fees
For customers who prefer additional coverage, full insurance is available as an option. The terms and any limitations are explained clearly before you confirm.
How This System Works
The ability to operate with no deposit and no credit card requirement, while also offering optional full insurance, comes from how we manage fleet operations and risk responsibly.
1) A Large, Well-Maintained Fleet
Operating a large fleet allows us to manage operational risk across many vehicles rather than relying on deposits or card holds.
2) Years of Real-World Damage Data
Our long operating history provides reliable data on incident patterns and costs, which supports consistent policies and stable pricing.
3) In-House Insurance Management
We manage insurance internally rather than reselling third-party coverage. This helps keep processes straightforward and terms consistent.
4) Risk Shared Across Thousands of Rentals
High rental volume helps spread risk and supports a system that does not depend on deposits as the default solution.
5) Preventive Maintenance and Regular Service
Well-maintained cars help reduce incidents. Prevention improves safety and reduces disruption for customers.
Important Limitations for the Optional Full Insurance
If you choose the optional full insurance, it applies to normal, lawful use of the vehicle. It does not apply if damage occurs under conditions such as:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or substances
- Serious violations of traffic law (for example, ignoring stop signs or traffic signals)
- Use outside permitted areas, including:
- Beaches or sand
- Dirt roads
- Rocky terrain
- Off-road driving
- Any situation where the vehicle leaves the roadway
These boundaries are stated upfront to protect both drivers and vehicles and to keep the policy fair and sustainable.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple: you enjoy Santorini without worrying about the car.
No deposits to think about. No credit card blocks. Clear terms, reliable vehicles, and straightforward options, including optional full insurance for those who want it.
Romani has operated in Santorini since 1995, and this approach reflects how we work: professionally, transparently, and with confidence in our operation.
