Enterprise car hire locations - Kos

The Greek island of Kos sits within the Dodecanese complex in the southeastern Aegean Sea. It's the third largest island of the complex, just after Rhodes and Karpathos. With miles of beautiful sandy beaches and a host of historic Greek and Roman monuments, including the Asclepeion, Neratzia Castle, and Casa Romana villa, it’s an ideal holiday location for those who want to combine relaxing in the sun with spectacular sightseeing adventures. Enterprise Rent-A-Car has a branch conveniently located in lively Kos Town, situated closely to many of the island’s resorts and hotels, and it's within a short 30-minute drive from the airport. With fairly quiet roads, limited public transport, and attractions spread out in different areas, it makes perfect sense to explore Kos by car. If you want to discover hidden beaches, gorgeous countrysides, and ancient ruins scattered across the island, visit the local Enterprise branch there and explore the city in a quality rental car.
