One place we loved for a lunch in the hills, and everyone we've recommended it to did as well, is Pelecanos Taverna in Vati map

I've used Zest in the past on other holidays but haven't been to Rhodes before so wasn't sure if better options were available.

We went with Rodos Cars and had a Fiat 500C dropped off at the hotel as requested. They actually delivered it the night before so they could just do the paperwork in the morning which makes a lot of sense.
It’s a few years old with some minor bits of damage and has done 46k KM but it’s fine for what we need and was cheaper than the same car from Express hire just down the road.
Although the insurance includes all the damage waivers they charge a €40 admin fee for anything new so I’ve taken a full set of photos beforehand just to be on the safe side.
As for the car, the giant sunroof is a better option than a full soft top as you are a bit sheltered from the worst of the sun. It doesn’t have much power for any steep hills though that’s fine as I’m happy to pootle round, this being my first LHD driving experience.

Sounds ideal, I'd be happy enough bumbling around in a 500C for a few days, especially a twin air.
I'm hoping I can find somewhere that will drop off and collect in Lindos, I can't wait to explore.
This is a 1 litre mild hybrid with 69bhp, so having a six speed gearbox is pretty pointless but they’ve got plenty of other cars to choose from and they do deliver to Lindos.I'm hoping I can find somewhere that will drop off and collect in Lindos, I can't wait to explore.
Yesterday we went to Kamiros and two thirds of the cars on the road were small white hatchback with hire car logos on the doors. Speed limits are a bit random. It’s clear where they start, but they often seem to end without another sign to tell you.
And just to wrap this up, I’d left the car parked up outside the hotel and keys with reception, and it was collected overnight with no disputes about damage or anything.
I know the safe option is to do a handover in person but I wanted a beer and took plenty of photos beforehand.
Would happily use them again in future.
