Hiring a car in Kos is a great way to explore the island at your leisure. The roads on the island tend to be very good, so you will be fine with just a two-wheel drive car. In general, the urban areas can be hard to find parking in, so a smaller vehicle might be a better option for you. If you plan to cruise around the coastline, then choosing a convertible is a great way to see the island in style.
When you are driving in Kos, it is important that you abide by the laws of the road to make sure you don’t end up on the wrong side of the law. It is considered a very serious offence to drink and drive on the island, and anyone caught doing so will be prosecuted accordingly. The legal limit is 0.5 mg of alcohol per ml of blood, so it’s important you do not drink before you get behind the wheel. Children under the age of 12 or who are smaller than 135 cm must also be in a child seat that is of a suitable size. In addition, all passengers in the car, both in the front and back seat, must wear seat belts.
Whilst Kos is only a small island, it is still best to fill your petrol tank regularly to ensure you don’t get caught short in other parts of the island. Close to Kos Town and the airport, you will find ample places to fill up your car; however, toward the southwest of the island, you will find petrol stations become less frequent. So, to ensure you don’t get stranded, it is advisable that you plan ahead to see if there are any petrol stations near where you are going.

Should I rent a car in Kos?
When you are driving in Kos, you will notice that it is a little bit different to driving back in the United Kingdom. Not only do the cars drive on the opposite side of the road, but you will also notice that the steering wheel is on the left side of the car, rather than the right. The speed limits on the island are similar to that of the UK, though, so you should be comfortable at the speeds you are allowed to drive. In urban areas, you can drive no faster than 50 km/h (31 mph), whilst outside of these areas, the speed limit is 110 km/h (70 mph). Make sure you keep an eye out for the speed limit signs, which will inform you of any changes as you drive around the island.
What is driving like in Kos?
You should hire a car in Kos as it provides you with the opportunity to explore every corner of the island at your own pace, rather than relying on other modes of transport, such as buses. For example, if you are staying in Kos Town, then you can visit the secluded Paradise Beach in about 1h 11min. If you were travelling by bus, for example, this would take much longer. It would also be quite expensive to do this journey as a return taxi trip, so a car makes this more cost effective.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kos?
Make sure you check the minimum age requirements of the car hire agencies before you arrive at the island, as they are likely to vary from agency to agency. In general, you need to be at least 21 years of age to hire a vehicle in Kos, but some companies will require you to be older. There is also likely to be a surcharge if you are under a certain age, such as 23, which you will have to pay alongside the standard rate. For drivers that are below 25, there will also be a smaller selection of cars to pick from, due to many agencies reserving the more powerful vehicles for older drivers.

On average a rental car in Kos costs $27 per day.
