CARDEL Rent a Car Molivos Lesvos
Visitors say
Excellent service from Efi . Car was brand new Kia picanto. Price was also the best compared to other local car hire companies.
Easy and quick process to hire a current year's car. Very friendly, helpful, and competitively priced. Will use again.
About
CARDEL Rent a Car is a vehicle rental agency situated in Molyvos, one of Lesvos's most iconic and photogenic villages, perched beneath a medieval castle on the island's north coast. For visitors based in this area who want to explore beyond the village's cobbled streets and postcard-perfect harbor, having a rental car opens up the entire northern and western reaches of the island — from the petrified forest near Sigri to the hot springs at Eftalou, just minutes away along the coast road.
Renting from a locally based agency like CARDEL means you can pick up your vehicle right in Molyvos rather than backtracking to Mytilene, saving valuable holiday time. A car gives you the freedom to chase the island's quieter beaches, visit the traditional villages of the interior, and make the most of Lesvos's surprisingly generous size — at roughly 1,600 square kilometers, the island rewards those who venture off the main tourist routes. Whether you're planning a day trip to the olive groves of the Kalloni plain, the birdwatching lagoons near Skala Kallonis, or simply want the flexibility to arrive at a beach before the crowds, a rental from here is a practical and worthwhile investment in your Lesvos experience.
Before you go
What to expect
A straightforward, locally run car rental office in the heart of Molyvos, where you can collect your vehicle and head out immediately without driving back to Mytilene first. The real value is the time you save and the flexibility you gain — the northern coast, the petrified forest, quiet interior villages, and the Eftalou hot springs all become easy half-day trips from your base.
Best time to visit
Late spring through early autumn is ideal; book your vehicle ahead in July and August when demand across the island peaks.
How to get there
Molyvos sits on the north coast, roughly a 50–60 minute drive from Mytilene following the main road north through Kalloni. CARDEL is in the village itself, so you can walk down from your accommodation and pick the car up on the spot.

Overall, the service was very friendly. Reasonable prices, new cars. There's no need to elaborate. Note: Full insurance doesn't cover tires, windows, undercarriage, or accidents caused by the driver. (I was only informed of this when I started asking.) So, it's full, but not complete. On other Greek islands, at other rental companies, "full insurance" literally meant full coverage, but not here.

Easy to rent a car for a day and nice service from the staff. €30 for an almost new Citroen C3 with insurance was a really good price. Highly recommend this car rental.
