Start your journey at Rhodes Port
Rhodes Port car rental gives ferry passengers a smooth start to their stay. Collect your vehicle close to the terminal and continue directly to your hotel, villa or first island stop—without travelling to the airport first.
Select Rhodes Port when booking with CARIO. Your confirmation will include the agreed meeting point, handover time and contact details, so you know exactly what to expect when you disembark.
Rhodes Port car rental pickup
Enter your arrival date and time accurately when booking and provide a mobile number that works in Greece. Ferry schedules and docking points can change, so share the vessel name or route when requested and keep CARIO informed of significant delays. Your confirmation will explain where to meet and what to do if your arrival time changes.
Before accepting the vehicle, check the category, fuel level and existing condition together with the representative. Review the price, full-insurance conditions, eligible-incident rules and exclusions. Keep the rental agreement and CARIO contact details available throughout the rental.
From Rhodes Port to your destination
The port is close to Rhodes Town and the medieval centre, but traffic and parking restrictions can be busy during the summer. If your accommodation is inside or close to the Old Town, check the access instructions in advance and use signed public parking rather than entering restricted streets.
From the port you can drive south towards Faliraki and continue to Lindos, Pefkos and Gennadi, or travel west across the northern part of the island. Allow extra time around ferry arrivals and avoid planning a tight connection immediately after disembarkation.
Why collect a rental car at Rhodes Port?
- Start your island journey soon after leaving the ferry terminal.
- Avoid travelling to Rhodes Airport only to collect a vehicle.
- Carry luggage to your accommodation more conveniently.
- Reach beaches, villages and archaeological sites on your own timetable.
Driving and parking near the port
Follow official road signs and port staff instructions when leaving the terminal. The roads around Rhodes Town can be busy, with one-way streets and controlled parking areas. Do not stop in taxi, bus, loading or emergency zones. If you are unfamiliar with the area, set your route before moving off and ask the representative for the simplest exit towards your destination.
Never drive on beaches, pedestrian streets, unpaved tracks or restricted port areas unless the rental agreement clearly permits access. Lock the vehicle, remove visible valuables and check local signs before leaving it parked.

What happens if my ferry is delayed?
Contact CARIO as soon as you know about a material delay. Updated arrival information helps the team confirm whether the original meeting time can be adjusted and whether any conditions apply.

Different return locations may be available depending on your booking. Select the requested return point during the reservation and confirm the final arrangements before collection. See the Terms of Booking for the conditions that apply.
Returning your car at Rhodes Port
Confirm the return area and time in advance, especially if you have a ferry departure to catch. Leave enough time for traffic, fuel and the vehicle inspection.
