About Renting a Car at Rhodes Airport
Demand for rental cars at Rhodes Airport explodes during the Greek high season from May to September. Popular car classes sell out quickly – book early and compare prices to avoid expensive last-minute options. Rhodes Airport (RHO) is the island's most important car rental hub with a total of 44 rental providers – one of the broadest selections in all of Greece.
The airport is located approximately 14 km southwest of Rhodes city and is the starting point for thousands of car trips around the island every day. Diagoras Airport serves millions of passengers every year and car rental halls are located directly in the arrival terminal. From here it takes approximately 20 minutes to Rhodes city and approximately 1 hour to Lindos along the east coast.
Book your rental car online before departure – with 44 rental providers, prices vary significantly and the best offers disappear quickly. Choose a vehicle with GPS or download offline maps for Rhodes; mobile data can be unreliable in the southern part of the island's mountainous areas. Check if the rental company includes roadside assistance – Rhodes' narrow mountain roads can be challenging.
How long does it take to pick up a rental car at Rhodes Airport? With advance booking, the process usually takes 15–30 minutes at the arrival terminal where all 44 providers have desks. Can I drop off the car at a different location than the airport?
Many rental companies offer drop-off in Rhodes city or Lindos, but check for any additional fees. What type of car is recommended for driving around Rhodes? A compact car is sufficient for most roads, but choose an SUV if you plan to visit remote beaches on gravel roads in southern Rhodes.
We compare prices from all major providers at Rhodes Airport so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
What to Know Before Picking Up at Rhodes Airport
🚗 1) Pick the Right Terms
- Fuel: "Full-to-full" is usually the fairest deal.
- Extra driver: can cost extra - check before booking.
- Automatic: often pricier and in shorter supply.

- Passport or national ID
