Good to know
Age requirements vary by company and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Greece may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.
Add a car seat to your Rhodes car rental reservation if you're bringing the kids. Rules can change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size and age is always the safest approach.
You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: your physical driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card to cover the deposit amount. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
Driving in Greece may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the right side of the road.
Keep within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Greece is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) for all your purchases throughout your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cash and cards for more flexibility when paying.
