Our story began in 1990 in the village of Spartia, just a few meters above the stunning Klimatsia beach. Since then, our business has continuously evolved, always prioritizing high-quality services and the best possible experience for every visitor to the island. We are here to make your travels around Kefalonia easier, more comfortable, and more relaxing than ever.
In our early years, we specialized in moped and motorcycle rentals. A few years later, we expanded into car rentals, quickly establishing a strong presence, an excellent reputation, and a large, loyal clientele.
Today, we offer a wide variety of vehicles across different categories to meet the needs of every traveler—from couples and solo adventurers to families and groups. Our goal is to provide reliable vehicles, modern transport options, and competitive prices, always with an emphasis on your safety and comfort.
At GSR Rental, we aim to offer comprehensive mobility solutions with cars, scooters, and quads (ATVs), giving you the opportunity to discover every corner of Kefalonia with flexibility and freedom. From popular beaches to the island’s most hidden spots, we are here to help you enjoy every journey.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or for information regarding your reservation. We will be happy to assist you and help you choose the ideal vehicle for your holidays in Kefalonia.

Driving licenses issued in countries outside the European Union or in countries not mentioned above must be accompanied by a valid International Driving Permit (IDP).
The minimum rental period is one (1) day / 24 hours. Every additional hour is calculated at 1/10th of the daily rate. For delays exceeding 8 hours, a full extra day’s rate will be charged.
Note: A 30-minute grace period is provided free of charge for late returns to the agreed drop-off point. If the grace period passes and the renter has not notified the company at least 30 minutes before the contract expires, a fine of €20 per 30 minutes of delay will apply.

The insurance package includes:
Personal Accident Insurance (PAI)
(Valid only for car rentals, not for scooters/motorcycles)
• Third-Party Liability Insurance
• Roadside Assistance (24 hours a day, 7 days a week)
• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), with a specific excess amount depending on the vehicle type
• Full Damage Waiver (FDW) with zero excess, available only for specific vehicle types and at an additional cost
• Theft Protection for the rented vehicle
(Coverage applies only to the vehicle and not to the personal belongings of the driver or passengers)
Upon request, Full Insurance with zero excess may be offered for specific vehicle types at an additional charge.
Note: Insurance does not cover, even in the case of zero excess:
• Damages caused while the driver was under the influence of alcohol or substances
• Damages occurring when the vehicle was driven by an unauthorized person
• Damages caused while driving on unpaved/off-road tracks (except for 4×4 vehicles)
• Damages caused during participation in races or illegal acts
• Damage to the interior of the vehicle or the tires
• Damages caused intentionally
• Loss or damage of the vehicle key
• Damages resulting from the use of incorrect fuel type
The company may, on a case-by-case basis, require a security deposit to ensure the renter’s compliance with the rental terms. The relevant amount is determined and disclosed during the booking process, before the rental begins.
The deposit value is set at the company’s discretion and usually does not exceed the insurance excess amount. Factors considered include:
• The driver’s age
• Experience with the specific vehicle type
• Previous rental history
• The vehicle category
In some cases, no security deposit may be required—for example, for regular customers, scooter rentals, older vehicle models, or when the manager deems it unnecessary. However, the excess responsibility in the event of damage still applies, unless a Full Insurance (zero excess) package has been purchased.
The deposit can be paid either in cash or via credit card (pre-authorization hold).
Note:
Cash deposits can be refunded immediately at the end of the rental, while card holds may take several days or even months to be released by the bank.
Indicative Excess Amounts:
• €150 for scooters
• €400 for Category A cars
• €600 for Category B or higher category cars
• €800 for 300cc ATVs
• €1,200 for 450cc ATVs and above
Note: Security deposits for ATVs are significantly lower than their insurance excess amounts.
Damage Clarification:
Before signing the contract, the renter receives a digital file via email or WhatsApp containing photos documenting all pre-existing damage to the vehicle (scratches, dents, etc.). Renters are encouraged to take their own photos or videos before the start of the rental for further documentation. The renter reserves the right to dispute any compensation claim if they provide relevant supporting evidence.
