High season

High Season Car Rental in Rhodes

July and August are a different market to the rest of the year. This page is about what that means in practice for anyone who wants a convertible or a premium car in the middle of the Rhodes summer.

Book these early

The constraint is supply, not price

Rhodes has thousands of small hatchbacks and only a handful of convertibles. In the first three weeks of August the specialist cars — the cabrios, the newest premium models, the electric SUVs — are typically committed long before the month begins.

That is why the honest advice for high season is not about finding a discount code. It is about booking in winter or early spring, when the car you actually want is still on the list.

Driving Rhodes in high summer

Midday temperatures inland regularly sit in the high thirties. With a convertible that means roof down before ten in the morning and again after six in the evening, and roof up with the air conditioning on in between — a rhythm that suits sightseeing anyway.

Parking is the other high-season reality. Rhodes Old Town, Lindos and Faliraki fill by late morning; a compact car and an early start are worth more than any amount of patience.

Shoulder season, if you have the choice

Late May, June, September and the first half of October give you warm sea, open-top weather, quieter roads and materially better rates on exactly the same cars. If your dates are flexible at all, this is where a convertible holiday in Rhodes is at its best.

How the rate is quoted

Prices for your dates and driver age are calculated on the Rhodes Booking Marketplace. We do not print figures here, because a price that is out of date by the time you read it is worse than no price at all.
