Cario Car Rental at Gennadi Grand Resort
Gennadi Grand Resort car rental with Cario Car Rental brings the car to the resort entrance, so the quiet beach and private-pool days can mix with Prasonisi, Lindos and the hill villages of the far south. Delivery and collection at the resort are included in your online quote, and the price you confirm already includes full insurance with zero excess.
Gennadi Grand Resort is a five-star, beachfront resort on Gennadi Bay in the south of Rhodes, with nearly 300 rooms and suites – many with private or shared pools – several restaurants, an indoor pool at the spa and a mini and junior club in high season. Gennadi village is about a kilometre away, and Prasonisi, the island’s southern tip, is under half an hour by car.

Driving and parking at the resort
The resort offers free parking for guests; ask reception where to leave the car. The access roads are quiet, but drive slowly around the entrance when transfer coaches arrive.

How Many Days Do You Need a Car?
Because the resort is in the far south, a car makes the biggest difference on the longer trips. Three days usually cover the highlights: Prasonisi with Lachania, Lindos, and Monolithos Castle for a sunset. A compact car is fine for two; choose a larger category for families, and reserve automatics early for July and August.
