KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kos
- One of the main benefits to renting a car while in Kos is that they offer true independence. If being beholden to bus schedules is not for you, then renting a car is your best bet. For instance, say you want to head to the other side of the island and visit Kefalos. You could pay for a bus, or you could just as easily rent a car and see the island for yourself as you make the 39.7-kilometer (24.7-mile) trip.
- For travelers looking to pick up a hire car after arriving at Kos International Airport, the airport’s hire car desks are all located in the main terminal’s Arrivals Hall.
- Driving in Kos is quite easy with traffic moving at a moderate speed compared to most cities, but one thing to keep in mind when driving is that the roads often have a high volume of mixed traffic including bicycles, mopeds, and other alternative vehicles. Often such vehicles may be driving at variable speeds compared to other vehicles on the road, so it won’t be uncommon to have to pass them, especially on major roads.
- Rush hour is mostly non-existent in Kos, except at the airport when there is a large concentration of flights departing around the same time. In the town proper, though, morning rush hour lasts around an hour, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The afternoon rush hour period is about the same, with the main congestion hitting at around 4:00 p.m. and lasting until 5:00 p.m.
- Book your car hire in Kos at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini car hire in Kos are around 11% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about hiring a car in Kos
What type of car is recommended for driving in Kos?
As it is an island, smaller vehicles such as sedans, compacts, and hatchbacks are all ideal choices for hire car drivers. This is the case because many of the island’s roads are fairly narrow since the roads go back to long before automobiles had even been invented. Additionally, parking spaces on the island are often small and it may be harder to fit in them with a large vehicle.

Drivers will find that the speed limit starts out at 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas and built-up areas.
