Driving in Rhodes: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Rhodes.
Most drivers can use their regular licence. You may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn’t in English. Rental companies also ask for matching ID and a credit card during collection, especially in summer.
Navigating city driving
Most main roads are simple to follow, with signs in Greek and English.
Driving in Rhodes is easy outside the Old Town, where many streets are closed to cars. Coastal routes link resorts, beaches and villages. Navigation apps help you reach quieter coves and inland sites.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
There are no toll roads or emissions zones in Rhodes.
The island’s main routes are free to use. You may find paid parking near the harbour or close to the Old Town. Outside central areas, driving is straightforward and cost-free.
Parking your car in Rhodes
Parking is simple outside the Old Town but busy near central sites.
Street spaces are common near beaches and hotels. The Old Town has restrictions, so use nearby car parks for visits. Signposts show time limits and fees, which vary between neighbourhoods.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in Rhodes are limited.
Petrol stations sit on major routes and around larger villages. Charging points are still few across the island. Apps like PlugShare help electric drivers find available chargers before quieter beach or inland trips.
Local driving style and tips
Traffic is calm, but mountain roads can feel narrow.
Drivers move steadily around resorts, but inland routes have sharp bends and steep climbs. Goats sometimes wander onto roads, so keep speeds gentle and stay alert, especially on rural stretches.
