Rhodes International Airport is the only commercial passenger airport serving the Greek island of Rhodes – this is where international flights arrive from across Europe.
Located on the west coast of the island close to the village of Paradesi, Rhodes International Airport, also known as Diagoras International Airport, has been upgraded as part of a major investment programme to meet a growth in international travel to this beautiful island.
If you are planning a trip to Rhodes, our friendly Avis team at Rhodes International Airport is on hand to offer advice and provide the perfect rental car for your trip.
You’ll find our Avis counter at Rhodes International Airport in the arrivals hall of the terminal building. The Avis rental car park is just across the road, a short walk from the terminal entrance.
From your Avis pick-up point at Rhodes Airport, Rhodes town centre is just a short 20min, 13.1km drive north along the coast road. The town is well signposted in English as well as Greek.
Our Rhodes Airport office offers a quality fleet suited to the island. A compact car is ideal for the narrow streets of the old town and busy village centres, while an SUV gives you extra comfort on the hillier roads in the interior. For families, a people carrier gives everyone room. Add the extras you need when you book, including GPS navigation, child safety seats and additional driver cover. See our car hire extras page for the full list. Our friendly team is on hand to help you choose the right car for your plans.
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.
Hiring a car is a popular and easy way to explore the Greek islands. If you have not driven in this part of the world before, we’d advise checking the Greek road rules before you set off.
Be aware that as in the rest of mainland Europe, you’ll be driving on the right-hand side of the road as you leave the airport.
Home to the oldest inhabited town in Europe, as well as one of the seven wonders of the world, the Greek island of Rhodes has plenty to impress all who visit.
