Unlock the real Rhodes
Rhodes Airport is the perfect starting point for discovering the island’s diverse beauty. With a rental car, you can reach the UNESCO-listed Rhodes Old Town in just 20 minutes to explore its medieval heritage. For a journey to the island's most iconic village, Lindos and its spectacular hilltop acropolis are roughly an hour's drive south. If you seek a natural escape, the enchanting Valley of the Butterflies is only 15 minutes away, all easily accessible via the island's primary road network.

All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
One Way Rentals from Rhodes Airport
Pick up your car at Rhodes Airport and drop it off in Lindos, Kiotari, or Kamiros Skala. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore the entire length of the island without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your Mediterranean road trip.
Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.
Driver Age Requirements in Rhodes
Can I rent a car in Rhodes if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically vary by provider, with many starting at 21 or 23 depending on the car group.
Can I rent a car in Rhodes if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Greece. While some providers may have upper age limits for certain models, most standard rentals have no additional fees or restrictions.
What is the best time of year to explore Rhodes by car?
The shoulder seasons of Spring (May to June) and Autumn (September to October) offer the most pleasant weather and quieter roads compared to the busy summer peak. Summer is the ultimate time for beach holidays and sunset dining, while winter provides a peaceful, local atmosphere—ideal for exploring the historic Old Town and mountain villages at a more relaxed pace.
Essential Tips for Driving in Rhodes
In Rhodes, there are no toll roads, making island travel very straightforward. Using dipped headlights is recommended on rural and mountain roads for better visibility. While parking is generally free in villages and at major attractions, be mindful of paid parking zones in Rhodes Town (look for blue line markings). Winter tyres are not mandatory in Greece but are recommended between November and April if you plan to drive into higher-altitude areas like Mount Attavyros. In wintry conditions, drivers must ensure their vehicle is equipped with appropriate tyres for the conditions. Tyres must be suitable for icy and snowy conditions; in practice, this means winter tyres designed for challenging conditions or carrying anti-skid devices such as snow chains where permitted. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
