Cario Car Rental at Princess Sun
Princess Sun car rental with Cario Car Rental brings the car to the hotel entrance, so you can reach the beaches below, Lindos and Prasonisi whenever you like. Delivery and collection at the hotel are included in your online quote, and the price you confirm already includes full insurance with zero excess.
Princess Sun Hotel & Spa is a four-star, all-inclusive hotel on a hillside overlooking Kiotari Bay, with around 200 rooms, three outdoor pools and a spa. A free shuttle takes guests down to the beach, and the sister hotel, Rodos Princess, is a few minutes away. From the hotel, Lindos is about 23 minutes by car and Prasonisi about 36.
How delivery works at Princess Sun
When you book, keep Kiotari | Collection to your door as the pick-up location (it is already selected in the booking form on this page) and enter Princess Sun, Kiotari as the delivery address, with the lead driver’s name and a mobile number that works in Greece. Rodos Princess and Princess Andriana are also nearby, so please write the full name – we then confirm the exact meeting point at the main entrance and the time with your booking.
Our office in Kalathos is about 15 minutes away by road. 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, fit any child seats before you set off and save the CARIO assistance number. If the hotel is also your return location, we collect the car there at the time agreed with you.
Why rent a car at Princess Sun
- The hotel sits above the bay, so a car makes beach-hopping easy – Kiotari Beach is about 5 minutes away and Glystra a few more.
- Asklipio, with its castle ruins and old church, is about 10 minutes inland.
- Baby and booster seats are free on request, and a second driver is included free.
- You only pay for the days you need – a car for part of your stay is often enough.

- Lindos: about 23 minutes north; go early for the Acropolis and park above the village – see where to park in Lindos.

Driving and parking at the hotel
Ask reception where guests can leave the car. The hotel stands on a hillside above Kiotari, so drive slowly on the approach and around the entrance, especially on changeover days.
From the hotel, the road down to the coast joins the main Pylona–Katavia road – north to Lardos, Lindos and the airport, south to Gennadi and Prasonisi. Return the car with the same fuel level as at collection and never drive onto sand or beaches.

How Many Days Do You Need a Car?
Two or three rental days are usually enough: one for Lindos, one for Prasonisi and the far south, and a half day for Asklipio and a beach below the hotel. A compact car is fine for two; choose a larger category for families with beach gear, and reserve automatics early for July and August.
