Want a wider choice? Car hire elsewhere in Greece starts from larger airports and towns.
Cars here come from a local company; your voucher gives the meeting point and a number to call. They are not collected from the rental desks in Arrivals.
Your voucher sets out where to meet and the company’s phone number. Read it before the flight and keep it to hand.
From the day before pickup, keep the number you booked with switched on, country code included, for calls or messages.
If the flight is delayed, call the company as soon as you know, so the handover can move with your new arrival time.
Cars here are handed over at the airport itself. The meeting point can vary between companies, so go by your own voucher.
A smaller airport with the basics covered: what the terminal offers, where to park and what to watch on the road.
Public parking spaces sit opposite the terminal.
None of the cars here asks for a credit card, but each one takes a deposit. The figure is on every car before you book.
Your booking spells out how to pay the remainder and when the deposit hold ends.
Travelling on from Kos? Compare cars in Greece that need no credit card.
No car here comes without a deposit, but car hire in Greece with no deposit is possible at some larger airports.
The island follows national Greek rules. These are the points to know before the first drive.
Kos Town and the villages: 30 km/h, or 50 km/h on some multi-lane streets. Between them: 90 km/h, unless a sign differs.
Riders share the island roads with cars and larger vehicles. Give them room when overtaking and at junctions.
Everyone wears a seat belt and children use a suitable restraint. The driver is fined too if a passenger is unbelted.
Let the company know at once and get a police report unless told otherwise. Skipping either can leave you without insurance.
A triangle, a first-aid kit and an extinguisher must ride in every Greek car; ask where they are stowed.
Police, fire and ambulance all answer on 112. The costs of fuel, parking and any fines are yours.
Kos Town is about 40 minutes from the airport by car, 23.5 km on clear roads.
Kardamena and Mastichari are each about 10 minutes away, Marmari about 15 minutes and Tigaki about 25 minutes. The drive to the Asklepieion takes about 35 minutes.
All times assume no traffic and no stops. The drive into town on Kos is timed to Eleftherias Square, near the harbour.
On Kos, as everywhere in Greece, a rental car must keep to paved public roads, so unpaved beach tracks are out.
The rental conditions set this rule for the whole country.
Crossing a border is banned for Greek rentals, which rules out taking the car over to Turkey.
The rule is the same for any car rented in Greece, whichever company provides it.
The prices on this page are for a car handed back at Kos Airport, where it was collected.
Plan drives that start and finish on the island, so the car is back at the airport on time.
Hoping to island-hop with the car? Customer support must agree before the booking is complete.
Boat times and vehicle tickets are not sold with the car; buy them from the ferry company after approval.
Month by month, the lowest day rate for a week’s rental that starts and ends at Kos Airport. Empty months read N/A.
N/A: no cars were offered at the airport for that month.
Charges run in 24-hour blocks, so an extra hour or two at the end costs a whole day. Arrange any extension with the company before the rental ends.
Settle who drives and who rides before you pay, and add every extra to the booking.
List every driver when booking. Each must meet the minimum age and licence years shown on that car.
Add a seat or booster for each child at booking, chosen for their age and size.
Every seat taken leaves less boot room, so pack light or compare boot space before you choose.
Small pets may come if they stay in a carrier all the way.
Basic protects the car itself but leaves you an excess. On most cars here it is the starting level.
Basic as standard. Most cars here start on Basic (CDW), with no higher level offered when you book.
Excess above the deposit. The excess you could pay after damage is several times the deposit held at pickup.
Minimum also listed. Minimum (TPL) appears as the lower level, and it does not cover damage to the rental car.
Wheels, underbody, windscreen and interior damage are excluded from Basic. Find out what the excess covers before you travel.
Any cover is lost through deliberate damage or neglect.
Your original licence, valid until the car is returned. Copies and digital versions are refused.
An IDP alongside your licence is recommended; a company can decline the rental if you arrive without one.
Age and licence-year minimums are printed per car and may vary even between lookalike models.
With a UK photocard licence you may drive in Greece, but the company can still ask for an IDP. Read the car’s conditions first.
Plan the return so there is time for fuel and the inspection.
Leave time for the final check before you head to check-in.
New car or new dates? That means cancelling and making another booking.
At least a week ahead for ordinary cars, thirty days for luxury models or convertibles, one day if you added the 24-hour cancellation option.
Include the voucher. Two weeks at most for the advance to return, minus a 6% payment service fee; not turning up forfeits it.
Not so far: every car offered here has a manual gearbox. Check again for your own dates.
Yes, the terminal stays open through the night. The rental company’s own hours may differ, so check the voucher.
If a breakdown or a similar event stops the company supplying it, you get a car of the same or a higher class at the same price and on the same terms.
No limit was set on any car offered here. The offer for your own dates states the rule for that car.
No airport charge appears on the cars shown here. The total covers the handover and return at the airport.
Set your Kos flight times and compare totals, deposits and cover before picking a car.
