Car rental companies in Rhodes

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.

FAQ – Car rental in Rhodes

What is the minimum age for car rental, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
In Rhodes via Auto Europe Israel, the minimum age for car rental is 21, with at least one year of driving experience required. In some categories or with certain suppliers, the age requirement is 23 or older. Drivers aged 21-24 are usually subject to a young driver surcharge payable at the counter, which varies by supplier and car group, typically between approximately 8-20 euros per day, sometimes with a rental cap. Large, luxury, or 4x4 vehicles may require age 25 and above.
Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient, or is an international license required?
In Rhodes via Auto Europe Israel, an original and valid Israeli driver's license is always required, and, in practice, many suppliers also require an International Driving Permit (IDP). To avoid refusal at pickup, it is recommended to arrive with a valid Israeli license along with the IDP, passport, and credit card in the primary driver's name. Without an IDP, a supplier may refuse to release the vehicle even if the Israeli license is valid.
What does the basic insurance package include, and what additional insurance is recommended?
In Rhodes via Auto Europe Israel, the basic insurance usually includes CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and TP (Theft Protection) with a deductible, as well as third-party liability according to local law. Coverage for windows, tires, mirrors, undercarriage/roof, locks, and keys, or towing costs due to negligence are often not included. It is recommended to consider extensions like Super CDW/Zero Excess to reduce or eliminate the deductible, WUG coverage for windows/tires/mirrors, PAI (Personal Accident Insurance), and extended roadside assistance. Deductible amounts and limitations vary by supplier and car group, so it's important to review the Auto Europe Israel voucher and local contract at pickup.
Can an additional driver be added, and what is the cost involved?
In Rhodes via Auto Europe Israel, an additional driver can be added in most rental companies. The additional driver must be present at pickup, provide a valid driver's license, and meet the same age and experience requirements as the main driver. The cost typically ranges from 5-10 euros per day for an additional driver, sometimes with a rental cap, and is payable at the counter unless approved in advance through an Auto Europe Israel booking. Some suppliers offer a free additional driver in specific promotions.
What is the fuel policy - do I need to return the car with a full tank?
In Rhodes via Auto Europe Israel, the common policy is Full to Full: you receive the car with a full tank and return it full. Returning without refueling will be charged for fuel and refueling fees according to the supplier rate. There are also other policies with some companies (such as Full to Empty or return at the same level), but at Rhodes Airport (RHO) and most branches, the Full to Full policy is the default. The final policy appears on the Auto Europe Israel voucher and is confirmed in the contract at pickup.

Tips for car rental in Rhodes

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.
