Piraeus port isn’t one place. It’s a zone spread over several kilometres of coastline with twelve numbered gates. The distance between E1 and E12 isn’t one you cover on foot with luggage and a sailing to catch.
So we don’t ask you to come to us. Port delivery happens at whichever gate serves you, free of charge, timed to your ferry. You step off the boat and the vehicle is already there.
How it works
- Send us the sailing: operator, vessel and arrival or departure time.
- We confirm the gate and agree an exact meeting point.
- We’re waiting there with the vehicle checked and the paperwork ready.
- Handover takes about ten minutes, including the walk-around inspection.
If your ferry runs late — and in Piraeus they do — you aren’t charged for it. We track the sailing and adjust. Just keep your phone on.
What gate delivery gets you
No walking with luggage
You don't cross the port or hunt for an office. The vehicle comes to your gate.
No location fee
Delivery and collection at gates E1–E12 carry no charge whatsoever.
Flexibility on delays
We track the ferry. A late arrival doesn't mean an extra cost.
Out-of-hours handover
Many sailings land early morning or late at night. There's no surcharge.
Return at your departure gate
On the day you sail, we collect the vehicle where you board.
Help finding the right gate
If you don't know where your ferry leaves from, we'll tell you before you arrive.
Which gate concerns you
The mapping of gate to destination is broadly stable, but individual sailings move. Your ticket always wins. As a guide:
| Gate | Typical destinations |
|---|---|
| E1–E2 | Dodecanese, North Aegean, Crete (Chania) |
| E3 | Crete (Heraklion), long-haul sailings |
| E4–E5 | Western Cyclades, Kythira |
| E6–E7 | Saronic: Aegina, Poros, Hydra |
| E8 | Cyclades high-speed |
| E9 | Cyclades: Paros, Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini |
| E10–E12 | Additional sailings, cruise |
Full detail, with walking distances from the Metro and loading cut-offs, in the E1–E12 gates guide.
If you’re travelling with the vehicle
Vehicle loading closes markedly earlier than foot boarding — often thirty to sixty minutes before departure. Allow for a queue at the gate entrance too, particularly on July and August evenings. Taking the rental to an island needs our written approval — see what applies.
Which vehicle to choose
If you’re continuing to an island, remember you’ll load and unload twice, and that the vehicle ferry ticket is priced on length. A smaller car costs less on the boat as well. Travelling as a group, look at the nine-seat minibus, which replaces two vehicles and two tickets.
Getting there without a car
Piraeus Metro station, on Lines 1 and 3, sits beside the central gates. Coming from the airport, Line 3 brings you directly with no change — more in the airport to Piraeus guide.
Frequently asked
No. Delivery and collection at every gate from E1 to E12 are free of charge, whatever the hour.
We track the sailing and adjust. A late arrival carries no extra charge. Keep your phone on so we can coordinate.
We agree an exact meeting point at your gate before you arrive and send you the driver's number. There's no searching involved.
Yes. Many sailings arrive outside normal hours and there's no surcharge for it.
Yes. Tell us which gate you're sailing from and we'll collect the vehicle there, at a time that suits you before boarding.
It's printed on your ticket, which overrides any general table. If you're unsure, send us the sailing and we'll confirm it before you arrive.
It depends. For one island and a week, taking the car often works out cheaper. For two or three islands with hops in between, vehicle tickets add up and renting locally wins.
