All-inclusive car rental in Kos
An all-inclusive rental on Kos includes full insurance with zero excess - the easiest way to reach the island’s scattered beaches and the ancient Asklepion.
Kos is a relatively flat, easy-going island, famous as the birthplace of Hippocrates. While the main town is bike-friendly, a car lets you reach the southern beaches, the hillside village of Zia for sunset and the ancient healing sanctuary of the Asklepion.

Exploring Kos by car
The southern coast has the island’s best beaches - Paradise and Magic Beach among them - around 30–40 minutes from the airport. Inland, the village of Zia on the slopes of Mount Dikeos is the classic spot for sunset, and the Asklepion sits just outside Kos Town.
Roads are good and mostly flat, making Kos one of the easier Greek islands to drive; zero-excess cover still removes the worry of busy summer car parks.
Practical tips
Kos Town itself is compact and bike-friendly, so the car is most useful for the beaches and villages. Park on the edge of town and explore the centre on foot.
The all-inclusive price already includes full insurance, unlimited mileage and airport fees.
