Car Hire Ammoudes | From €18/day | 365 Car Hire

Planning a holiday in Ammoudes? You’ve chosen one of Rhodes Island’s most delightful coastal spots. But here’s something every seasoned traveller learns quickly: the best of Rhodes isn’t found at bus stops or on organised tours. It’s discovered down winding country lanes, at secluded beaches, and in mountain villages where time seems to stand still. That’s why booking car hire in Ammoudes transforms a good holiday into an unforgettable adventure.

At 365 Car Hire, we make exploring Rhodes straightforward and stress-free. With vehicles available from just €18 per day, you’ll have the freedom to create your own itinerary without watching the clock or worrying about missed connections. Whether you’re arriving by ferry at the Port of Rhodes or landing at Diagoras International Airport, we’ve got affordable options waiting for you.

Why Car Hire in Ammoudes Opens Up the Island

Rhodes is a island of remarkable diversity. In the north, you’ll find the bustling medieval Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Head south and the landscape transforms into pristine beaches, ancient ruins, and traditional villages where locals still gather in plateias under the shade of ancient plane trees. Without your own transport, you’re limited to a fraction of what this magnificent island offers.

Ammoudes sits perfectly positioned for exploration. From here, the famous Anthony Quinn Bay is just minutes away. The turquoise waters and dramatic rocky surroundings make it one of Rhodes’ most photographed spots — but you’ll need a car to reach it comfortably. Similarly, the laid-back resort of Faliraki and the historic charm of Afandou are within easy driving distance.

Public buses exist, certainly. However, they operate on fixed schedules that might not align with your holiday rhythm. Imagine wanting to catch a sunset at a remote beach, only to realise the last bus departed an hour ago. With car hire in Ammoudes, you dictate the schedule. Stay as long as you like, leave when you’re ready, and discover places the guidebooks haven’t yet discovered.

• Visit the Valley of Butterflies in Psinthos — a magical nature reserve best reached by car
• Explore the ancient ruins of Kamiros without rushing to meet tour group deadlines
• Discover hidden coves along the east coast that tourists rarely find
• Drive up to Mount Attavyros for panoramic views across the Dodecanese
• Experience authentic Greek tavernas in mountain villages where English menus are rare

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Rhodes’ Roads

Here’s some practical advice from our team: think compact. Rhodes’ charm lies partly in its network of narrow, winding roads — particularly in older villages and coastal areas. A small or compact car makes navigating these lanes significantly easier. You’ll find parking less stressful too, especially during peak summer months when spaces fill quickly in popular spots.

That said, if you’re travelling with family or substantial luggage, we do offer larger vehicles. Our fleet includes everything from economical hatchbacks perfect for couples, to spacious SUVs suitable for groups. When booking Car Hire Rhodes through our platform, you can filter by vehicle size to match your specific needs.

We believe hiring a car shouldn’t come with unpleasant surprises. That’s why all our bookings include free cancellation — because plans change, and we understand that. We also operate with a strict no hidden fees policy. The price you see includes insurance, taxes, and roadside assistance. What you agree to pay is what you actually pay, simple as that.

Collecting your hire car is straightforward whether you arrive by ferry or flight. Our partners operate at Rhodes Airport and key locations across the island. Many visitors find it convenient to arrange Car Hire Greece collection directly at the airport, beginning their adventure the moment they land.

Exploring Beyond Ammoudes: Day Trips Worth Taking

With your hire car sorted, the entire island becomes accessible. We recommend setting aside at least one day for the southern tip of Rhodes. Prasonisi, where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas meet, offers a unique landscape of sand spits and excellent conditions for windsurfing. It’s about an hour’s drive from Ammoudes — completely manageable, but impractical without your own vehicle.

Another worthwhile journey takes you to the village of Embonas, Rhodes’ wine capital. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Attavyros, this traditional settlement produces some of Greece’s finest wines. The drive itself is spectacular, winding through pine forests and olive groves. Stop at family-run wineries for tastings, enjoy locally produced meze, and experience authentic Greek hospitality far from tourist crowds.

For history enthusiasts, a drive to Lindos is essential. The acropolis perched above the whitewashed town creates one of Greece’s most iconic images. Arrive early morning by car to beat the tour buses, explore the ancient temple, then relax on Lindos’ sandy beaches in the afternoon. The flexibility of having your own transport means you can experience these highlights at your preferred pace.

Travellers often combine their Greek island hopping with stops elsewhere. If your journey includes mainland connections, consider arranging Car Hire Athens for the capital’s ancient sites. Island hoppers might also explore Car Hire Corfu for Ionian adventures, or book Car Hire Mykonos for Cycladic exploration.

Do I need an International Driving Permit for car hire in Ammoudes?

EU licence holders can drive in Greece using their standard driving licence. Visitors from outside the EU typically need an International Driving Permit alongside their home country licence. We recommend checking specific requirements based on your country of residence before travelling.

What’s included in the hire price?

Our transparent pricing includes comprehensive insurance, unlimited mileage on most vehicles, all taxes, and 24/7 roadside assistance. We never add hidden charges at collection — the total you see during booking is the total you pay. Fuel policies vary by vehicle, so check the specific terms for your chosen car.

Can I collect a car at Rhodes Airport for Ammoudes?

Absolutely. Many visitors find airport collection most convenient, particularly when arriving by flight. The drive from the airport to Ammoudes takes approximately 25-30 minutes via the main coastal road. Simply input your flight details during booking, and your vehicle will be ready upon arrival.
