No Deposit Car Hire in Rhodes — How It Works

Speed Rent a Car offers car rental Rhodes with no deposit required on selected vehicles. This means you can collect your car without freezing funds on your credit card — ideal for travellers without a credit card or those preferring cash payment options.

What does "no deposit" mean?

Normally, car rental companies block a deposit (often €300-€1000) on your credit card as security. Our no deposit option removes this requirement for eligible bookings. You pay only the rental fee — nothing is held on your card.

Who is this for?

Perfect for budget-conscious travellers, those without credit cards, or anyone preferring not to have large sums frozen during their Rhodes holiday.

Frequently Asked Questions — Car Rental Rhodes

Yes — Speed Rent a Car offers car hire Rhodes options with no deposit required. When you search for rental cars, filter by "No Deposit" to view vehicles available without a credit card hold. This option is ideal for travellers without credit cards or those preferring cash payment at pickup. The rental agreement is concluded directly with the local car hire company, and full payment terms are detailed in your booking voucher.

You can collect your car at Rhodes International Airport (RHO), Rhodes Town, Faliraki, Lindos, or any resort on the island. Many car hire companies also offer hotel delivery — select your preferred location at booking. Airport pickup is most popular for convenience immediately after arrival.

You will need: (1) Valid full driving licence held for at least 1 year; (2) Passport or national ID card; (3) Credit or debit card for deposit (unless booking no deposit option); (4) Your Speed Rent a Car booking voucher. EU licences are accepted; non-EU licences require an International Driving Permit alongside your national licence. Minimum age is 21 years (25+ for certain vehicle categories).

Car rental Rhodes prices start from approximately €25/day for economy vehicles in low season, rising to €40-60/day in peak summer months (July-August). Larger vehicles like SUVs and minivans range from €50-80/day. Booking in advance secures better rates. Use our search tool to compare live prices from multiple Rhodes car rental companies and find the best deal for your dates.

Absolutely. While Rhodes Town and Faliraki are well-served by buses, a rental car gives you freedom to explore the island at your own pace. Must-see destinations like Lindos, Prassonisi Beach, Valley of the Butterflies, and west coast castles are much easier to reach by car. You can also discover hidden beaches and mountain villages beyond the tourist trail. For families and couples seeking flexibility, car hire Rhodes is highly recommended.

Yes — one-way rentals are possible. You can collect your car at Rhodes International Airport and return it to Rhodes Town, Faliraki, or another location. Additional fees may apply for one-way rentals — check terms at booking. Most travellers prefer round-trip airport rental for simplicity and to avoid extra charges.

No — a standard car is sufficient for most Rhodes roads. The main coastal highway and routes to popular destinations (Lindos, Faliraki, Rhodes Town) are paved and well-maintained. However, if you plan to explore remote mountain villages, dirt tracks to secluded beaches, or off-road areas, a 4x4 or SUV provides extra comfort and capability. Browse our 4x4 rental options if you want the versatility.

This depends on the car rental company's policy. Most Rhodes car hire providers do NOT allow vehicles on ferries without prior approval, and additional insurance/fees apply. If you plan to visit nearby islands like Symi, Kos, or Kalymnos, it's usually easier to leave your car in Rhodes and rent separately on the other island (or use passenger ferries). Check with the rental company before booking if inter-island travel is essential.
