Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies in Rhodes and throughout Greece, allowing you to choose a convenient pickup and return point across the island. The central and convenient rental station for many is usually located in the area of Diagoras International Airport (RHO), where local and international companies operate counters, allowing you to get a car immediately upon arrival and start your vacation at your own pace.
Additionally, there are more stations spread across the island in the city of Rhodes (including the marina and Mandraki area) and near popular resort centers like Faliraki, Ialysos, and Lindos. Thus, you can tailor the pickup or return point to your itinerary, whether you're staying in the city, on the beach, or touring scenic spots and traditional villages.
Business hours vary between companies and stations and are sometimes affected by the season and the volume of tourist traffic. In the summer, some branches operate extended hours, while in off-peak seasons, opening times may be limited or services available by appointment. Therefore, it's recommended to check in advance the operating hours of your chosen station to ensure they match your arrival or departure time, and to specify your estimated arrival time when booking.
For your convenience, it is possible to arrange for pickup outside of business hours or return at a designated drop-off box in certain locations, subject to the provider's conditions. Remember to review the rental conditions regarding insurance types, fuel policy, deposit, and required credit card, and make sure you have valid identification documents and a driving license in accordance with the company's requirements. This ensures a pleasant and safe driving experience in Rhodes, with maximum flexibility in time and itinerary.
A small tip: Distances in Rhodes are relatively short, but driving between villages and paved roads may be slower during peak hours or weekends. Plan refueling stops ahead, especially if you are heading to quieter areas, and keep branch and roadside assistance details handy. If you plan to include daily cruises or marine activities, check the possibility of returning near the port and prefer insurance covering parking and window damages for peace of mind.
Here are four useful tips for renting a car abroad, based on guidelines and experience in the industry. They will help you avoid surprises, save money and time, and enjoy a safe and pleasant trip, including fuel, insurance, tolls, and vehicle inspection.
Credit card in the main driver's name
Ensure you have a physical international credit card in the main driver's name for guarantees. Check available credit limit. Digital or prepaid card is often not accepted at many stations.
Fuel policy and refueling
Check if the policy is Full to Full or purchase a tank in advance. Return the car with the same fuel level and keep the last refueling receipt to avoid refueling charges.
Toll roads, vignette, and fines
Check if a toll tag or vignette is required in the country. Ensure the vehicle is equipped or purchase a vignette beforehand, follow local rules and keep receipts to avoid mail fines.
Vehicle condition check and documentation
Take comprehensive video and photos at pickup and return, including fuel gauge and mileage. Report scratches and damages in the contract and keep the documentation until after the deposit is released.
