Answers before you set off
Kos car rental FAQs.
Can I have the car delivered to my hotel?
Yes. Select Kos Hotel Delivery for delivery to a hotel, resort or apartment across the island. Delivery is included in the quoted rental price. Add the accommodation name and address under Additional Information at checkout.
Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Kos?
Card and deposit requirements depend on the supplier and the selected offer. Check the payment-card rules before booking; don’t assume every vehicle accepts the same card type.
Is insurance included in the price?
Review the offer’s included cover, exclusions and excess. Optional cover and other extras can vary between suppliers.
Should I collect at the airport or in Kos Town?
Choose the pickup that fits your arrival and plans. Compare available offers and check the collection location and instructions before you book.
How do I find cheap car hire in Kos?
Compare live offers for the same dates, pickup and driver details. Check the full quote, rental terms and any extras you need. The lowest daily rate may not suit your card, luggage or pickup plans, so compare the whole offer before choosing.
Can I collect in town and return at Kos Airport?
Select a different return location in the search form and compare the offers shown for that combination. Check whether your selected supplier permits it and whether the quote includes any different-location return charge.
Will I receive the exact car shown in the search?
Check whether the offer guarantees a specific model or describes a vehicle category. Review its stated passenger capacity, luggage space and transmission. Choose the listed features you need rather than relying only on the vehicle picture.
A little planning, a lot more island
Planning your holiday
in Kos, Greece.
Kos has very different days out, from a mountain village and mineral springs to beaches on the north and west coasts. Choose car hire dates around the places you want to see.

Why rent a car in Kos?
A rental can help with outings beyond your base. If you’re staying in Kos Town, choose rental dates around the places you plan to visit rather than automatically hiring throughout your holiday.
Tigaki and Marmari are northern-coast beach options; around Kefalos, choices include Paradise, Camel and Kamari. Therma (Thermes) is another stop, with warm mineral waters amid the cliffs.
Kefalos Castle looks out over Kefalos Bay and nearby Nisyros, giving you another reason to explore the western end of the island.
Plan your Kos road trip ↗Driving and parking on Kos
Check the route and parking for each stop. Leave time to find your supplier’s return point and complete the handover, especially before a flight or ferry.
Check the rental agreement before taking a car onto an unpaved track or a ferry. Don’t assume a destination shown on a map means every hire car is permitted on the route.
Keep your booking confirmation and supplier contact details handy. Use current local information for roads, parking and access.
Read the driving guide ↗When to visit and book
Compare offers for your dates and pickup. If you need an automatic, room for a group, a child seat or hotel drop-off, check availability and terms before booking.
Access and opening details can change. Check current visitor information for the places on your route before setting out.
Use the live search for your dates; prices and available cars depend on the selected offer.
