Why Rent a Car in Preveza?
Preveza sits at the entrance of the Ambracian Gulf on the Ionian coast of Epirus. The old town, the waterfront cafes and the marina are all within easy walking distance of each other – but almost everything else worth seeing is not. Long sandy beaches, quiet fishing villages, the Roman city of Nikopolis and the gateway to Lefkada and Parga are all a short drive away, and local buses are infrequent, especially outside the peak months.
A rental car turns a base in Preveza into a base for the whole region. You decide when to leave for the beach, where to stop for lunch and when to head home, instead of planning your day around a timetable or a taxi fare.
Pick Up Your Car at Aktion Airport (PVK) or in Preveza Town
Our office and pick-up point is opposite the main entrance and exit of Aktion Airport, in the parking area, about 6.7 km and 10-15 minutes from Preveza town centre. Most customers collect their car straight after landing – see our Aktion Airport car rental page for photos of the exact location.
Staying in town? We can arrange delivery of the car to your hotel or apartment in Preveza or to the port, and collection at the end of your stay. Contact us with your dates and address and we will confirm the details.
Which Car Should You Choose in Preveza?
- Economy and mini cars (for example Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo, Hyundai i20) – the best choice for couples and solo travellers. Easy to park in Preveza’s narrow streets and cheap on fuel.
- Compact cars (for example Fiat Tipo, Nissan Micra) – more luggage space and comfort for longer drives to Parga or Ioannina.
- Family cars and 7-9 seater vans (for example VW Caddy, Fiat Scudo) – for families and groups sharing one vehicle.
- Automatic cars – available in most categories; reserve early in July and August.
Specific models depend on availability. See the current fleet and prices on our cars and rates page.

Things to Do Around Preveza by Car

- Monolithi and the beaches north of Preveza – long sandy stretches with sunbeds, tavernas and plenty of space.
- Ambracian Gulf wetlands – lagoons, salt flats and birdlife a short drive from town.
- Vonitsa and its castle – reached through the Aktion-Preveza undersea tunnel, then a pleasant drive along the gulf.
