Driving along coastal roads in

Rhodes

Rhodes is where medieval charm meets beachside freedom, and having a rental car from Sync lets you experience the island at your own pace. Start your mornings driving through quiet pine-covered roads, reach Tsambika beach before the crowds, and easily park near the cobbled streets of Lindos for a sunset walk. The ability to explore without fixed timetables or taxi wait times turns a good trip into a great one, especially when the island has so much to offer beyond the obvious.

Choosing where to stay depends on your vacation style. If nightlife and restaurants are your focus, staying near Rhodes Town gives you easy access to everything on foot. For a more romantic or laid-back vibe, Lindos or Archangelos village offer peaceful charm and stunning views. With a Sync rental car, you’re not restricted by location—whether your hotel is on a quiet hill or a seaside village, your perfect base is always within reach.

A great tip for travelers is to get an early start. Popular beaches like Saint Paul’s Bay or the thermal springs of Kallithea get busy fast in the summer months. But with your own car, you can easily reach more remote gems like Agathi or Glyfada beach—ideal for those seeking calm waters and fewer tourists. Bring water, sunscreen, and your favorite playlist, and let your day unfold freely, guided only by your mood.

Don’t skip the mountain villages. Embonas and Apollona are famous for local wines and warm, home-style tavern food. With your Sync car, you can stop for wine tasting, buy handmade ceramics, or enjoy panoramic views on scenic inland routes. A road trip to Prasonisi in the south, where the Aegean and Mediterranean meet, is the kind of adventure you’ll never forget—made easy when your itinerary isn’t limited by public transport.

Tsambika Beach offers golden sand and clear waters, perfect for sunbathing. Saint Paul’s Bay near Lindos is idyllic for swimming. If you prefer less crowded spots, head to Agathi Beach or Fourni for a quieter, local experience.

FAQs

What do I need to rent a car with Sync?

To rent a car on Sync, you need to create an account with your email, be 18 years or older, have a valid driver's license for at least one year, and be approved to drive on Sync. During your first booking, you'll go through a quick approval process by submitting your driver's license and some other information. In most cases, you'll be approved instantly and ready for all your future road trips!

Do I need my own insurance?

Sync doesn't offer insurance programs, but the vehicle you book will be insured by the Host (owner of the car) for civil liability and other damage liabilities up to a certain amount.

What is Sync's cancellation policy?

You can cancel and receive a full refund up to 24 hours before your booking starts. If you make a booking with less than 24 hours notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel without charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period expires, a small cancellation fee will be charged based on the original duration of the booking.

Can the vehicle be delivered to my door?

Yes! Hosts (vehicle owners on Sync) offer delivery to travel points such as airports, train stations, and hotels, or to special delivery locations like your hotel or home. There are cars available through Sync in convenient locations near hundreds of points in the city. Many Hosts offer delivery exactly to your requested location. Use the search filter to see only vehicles that can be delivered to your door. Some Hosts offer free delivery, while others set their own delivery fee.

Can I get discounts when renting?

Many Hosts on Sync offer discounted rates for weekly and monthly bookings, as well as "early bird" discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. Secure the best deals and lowest prices, from cars to SUVs, by making longer bookings at least a week in advance.

Occasionally, Sync may also send you promotional codes, discounts, and offers!

Can others drive the vehicle I booked?

Yes, other drivers can drive the car you book through Sync, as long as they have been approved for driving. The primary driver (the person who made the booking) can add additional drivers without any fees or extra costs. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers - Sync Hosts cannot do this for you. We recommend requesting additional drivers before your trip begins.
