  • Pick up a cheap rental car in Íos for around R 1,326 a day and drive away happy. We do the hard work for you by searching all the major providers, making it easy to compare prices and book.

  • Reserve your ride in November and accelerate your savings. It's the cheapest time of year to rent a car in Íos, with average daily rates of R 381.

  • Auto-Union, IDEA MOBILITY and Yours Car Hire are some popular providers offering car hire deals in Íos.

  • The coverage Auto-Union or another supplier offers for your Íos car hire can vary, so always go over the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Check 'Return car to a different location' when browsing for a car for rent in Íos. Providers often need to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can bag some great one-way prices.

  • Avoid those steep refueling fees by booking a car hire in Íos with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start your journey with a full tank and return it the same, and only pay for what you actually use.

  • Hit the road without counting the miles and racking up additional fees. Go to the 'Policies' filter and choose 'Unlimited mileage' to find a ride that lets you explore without limits.
