Most car rental offices in Kos are located in Kos Town, mainly around the harbour and the coastal promenade. This is convenient if you arrive by ferry from Piraeus, Rhodes, Bodrum, or other nearby islands. Some rental companies also operate in resort areas such as Kardamena and Tigaki, and a number of providers offer hotel delivery across the island for greater convenience.

Bring a valid driving license (held for at least one year), a passport or EU ID card, a credit card in the main driver's name, and a printed or digital copy of your booking voucher. If your license was issued outside the EU, you'll also need an International Driving Permit alongside your national license.

The minimum age is usually 18, though some companies set the bar at 21 or 23 for larger vehicles such as SUVs or premium models.

Yes, some car rental options in Kos are available without a deposit through selected providers on FindYCar. Use the "No deposit" filter when searching. These deals are in high demand, especially in July and August, when tourism on the island is at its peak, so booking two to three months in advance is recommended.

Most rental companies require a credit card for the security hold, but FindYCar does list vehicles bookable with a debit card. Filter by "Debit card" when searching. Stock is limited, particularly in high season, so early booking makes a significant difference.
