Finding Your Company
Where Are the Car Rental Desks Located?
Skiathos Airport does not have a large, centralized "Rental Car Center" that you might be used to at major U.S. airports. Instead, the process is much simpler and more direct.
The car rental companies operate from a collection of small desks and representative counters located directly within the main terminal building. As soon as you collect your luggage from the baggage carousel and walk into the public arrivals hall, you will see them. The area is very small, so everything is in one place and easy to find.
Some smaller, local companies may not have a permanent desk and instead offer a personalized "Meet & Greet" service right in this same area.
Check Your QEEQ Voucher
Your QEEQ rental voucher is your most important document. It will clearly state whether you should proceed to a specific company desk or look for a representative holding a sign.
Navigating Operating Hours and After-Hours Pickups
- Operating Hours
- The operating hours for car rental companies at Skiathos Airport are directly tied to the flight schedules, which are most frequent during the peak summer season from May to October.
- Typical Desk Hours
- Generally, you can expect most desks to be staffed from early morning around 8:00 AM until the last scheduled flight of the day has arrived, which can often be around 10:00 PM or later.
- After-Hours Pickup
- If you need a pickup outside of normal operating hours for any reason other than a delayed flight, it may be possible but should be arranged in advance and may incur an additional fee.
Flight Delay? No Problem!
As long as you provided your correct flight number in your QEEQ booking, the local rental staff will track your flight's status. A representative will be there to meet you, even if your flight is delayed. This is a standard and expected service at JSI.

Important Contact Information
In the age of mobile phones, having the right number can solve any potential issue in minutes.
The single most important contact number you need is the local phone number for the specific Skiathos Airport branch of your rental company. This number is printed directly on your QEEQ confirmation voucher.
Save this number to your phone before you travel. It is your direct line to the local team in case your flight is severely delayed, you have trouble finding your representative, or you have any last-minute questions upon arrival. While you can find a general information number for the airport, the number on your voucher is the one that will connect you to the people waiting with your car keys.
Save Your Contact Number
The local branch number on your QEEQ voucher is your most important contact. Save it to your phone before departure — it connects you directly to the team with your car keys.
