Cario Car Rental at Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa
Mayia Exclusive car rental with Cario Car Rental brings the car to the resort entrance in Kiotari, so you can swap the sun lounger for a road trip whenever you like. Delivery and collection at the resort are free of charge, and the price you confirm online already includes full insurance with zero excess.
Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa is a five-star, adults-only beachfront resort for guests aged 16 and over. It opened in 2018 and has 250 rooms and suites in seven three-storey buildings. Lindos is about 15 km away and Rhodes Airport about 58 km, so a car opens up the whole south-east of the island.
How delivery works at Mayia Exclusive
Enter Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa, Kiotari as the delivery address when you book, with the lead driver’s name and a mobile number that works in Greece. Several large resorts line this stretch of coast – Kiotari Miraluna is right next door – so we confirm the exact meeting point at the Mayia entrance and the time with your booking.
Arriving by transfer? Choose a delivery time that leaves room for check-in, or start the rental the next morning. Check the car with our representative and save the Cario assistance number. If the resort is also your return location, we collect the car there at the time agreed with you.

Driving and parking at the resort
The resort has guarded parking for guests, subject to availability – ask reception where to leave the car. The Kiotari coast road in front links several large hotels, so watch for coaches, taxis and pedestrians near the entrances, especially on changeover days.
South of Kiotari the road gets quieter and petrol stations are fewer, so fill up before heading to Lachania or Prasonisi. Stay on paved roads and never drive onto sand or beaches.

Picking a Car for an Adults-Only Stay
For two people, a compact car is usually the best fit: easy to park in Lindos and comfortable on narrow village roads. If you plan longer drives across the island, a slightly larger category adds comfort, and automatics should be reserved early for July and August.
You don’t need a car every day of an all-inclusive holiday – two or three days in the middle of your stay are often enough to see Lindos, the villages and the south. Our guide to driving in Rhodes covers the local rules of the road.
