KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Karpathos
- Karpathos car rentals are the best way to get around the city with flexibility and ease. While there is public transport available on this island, it runs on fixed schedules and can often take a long time to get to the destination as buses often make several stops along the way. Car rentals in Karpathos allow you to explore the island at your own pace and get to far corners of the island, such as Olympos in the north, that you may have taken a long time to get to otherwise.

Pros:
Rental car agent was very friendly and helpful.Cons:
We were not given the type of car we reserved. I had to return it the next day for something else. I need to contact Budget in order to request a refund for the difference between the two cars.Europcar
