Rhodes Airport car rental FAQs
Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?
Travelling by bus is the only public transport option on Rhodes so hiring a car from Avis at Rhodes International Airport is a great option to start exploring the island from the moment you touch down.
What are the age requirements for hiring a car at Rhodes Airport?
The minimum age depends on the country and the car group you choose, and a young driver surcharge may apply to drivers under 25. Check the rental terms shown during booking for the exact requirements. Drivers also need a full, valid driving licence, so bring yours when you collect the car.
Can I pick up my hire car at Rhodes Airport and return it to another location?
Yes. One-way rental with Avis lets you collect your car at Rhodes Airport and return it to another Avis location on the island, subject to availability. Check the options when you book. Many Avis locations also offer 24-hour drop-off, which makes one-way trips more flexible.
What is parking like in Rhodes?
Parking is generally easy in villages and beach areas, though the old town and resorts can be busy in summer. Arrive early if you want a space close to the sights. Look out for signs and payment instructions, as rules can vary from one area to the next.
What type of car should I hire for Rhodes?
A compact car is a good fit for most roads and tight parking. If you plan to explore the interior or travel with a group, a larger car or SUV is more comfortable. You can choose your preferred car group and add any extras you need when you book.
