Rhodes gets very warm in summer, so reliable air conditioning makes every drive easier. All RhoRent cars come with air conditioning and checks are carried out before each rental. If you ever notice a problem during your trip, contact our support team and we will help right away. Use the simple tips below to keep the cabin cool, save energy, and enjoy every mile on the island.
Summer temperatures in Rhodes often reach the low to mid thirties. With a cool cabin you arrive fresher, children rest better between stops, and you can plan longer routes without worrying about heat build up. Good air conditioning also keeps the driver focused by reducing fatigue during mid day traffic and when parking in sunny areas near beaches and villages.
All cars in our fleet are equipped with air conditioning and are inspected before each rental. Our team checks cabin cooling, basic airflow, and general operation at handover. If an issue appears during your stay, call us and we will provide guidance and arrange support. When needed and available, we will replace the vehicle so you can continue your holiday without disruption.
Small steps make a big difference on hot days. Start by airing the car for a minute with the doors open, then set the fan to medium and the temperature to a cool but comfortable level. Use recirculation for a few minutes to pull the cabin down faster, then return to fresh air so the windows stay clear. Point the vents slightly to the side so air spreads without blowing in faces.
At handover, sit in the car and test the system for a minute. Check that the fan speed changes, cold air arrives at the vents, and the temperature dial or screen responds. If you plan beach days, bring a light sunshade for the windscreen and park in shade when possible. Keep a bottle of water in the car and plan short breaks on longer routes to stay comfortable and alert.
Is air conditioning standard in RhoRent cars? Yes. All cars in our fleet include air conditioning and are checked before each rental.
What should I do if the air conditioning stops cooling? Contact our support team right away. We will guide you through quick checks and arrange help. When needed and available, we will replace the vehicle.
How can I cool the car faster after it has been parked in the sun? Open the doors briefly to release hot air, start the system on medium, use recirculation for a few minutes, then switch back to fresh air for clear windows.
Does air conditioning increase fuel use? It can increase consumption slightly. Smooth driving and steady settings help maintain comfort without excess use.
Do I need air conditioning outside the peak summer months? It is still useful in spring and autumn, especially on sunny days and during mid day travel, but you will use it less often than in July and August.
