Rent a car Lesvos Number 1
Visitors say
Probably the best rental company on the island, Mrs. Astrid is nice and competent, no hidden costs, I recommend her wholeheartedly (You can communicate fluently in Dutch, German and English.)
Astrid is a Dutch woman who takes care of everything. I've rented a moped for several years now. It's fantastic.
About
Exploring Lesvos at your own pace is one of the great pleasures of visiting this diverse island, and having your own wheels makes all the difference. Rent a Car Lesvos Number 1, conveniently located near the charming village of Petra on the island's north coast, offers visitors the freedom to discover Lesvos on their own terms — from the petrified forest of Sigri in the west to the ouzo distilleries of Plomari in the south, and the vibrant capital of Mytilini to the east. With a rental car, hidden beaches, mountain monasteries, and traditional villages that see few tourists become accessible stops rather than missed opportunities.
The north coast around Petra is an ideal base for exploration, with the iconic rock-perched Church of the Sweet-Kissing Virgin rising above the village and the long sandy beach drawing visitors throughout the summer. A reliable car rental service in this area means you can venture inland to the thermal spa town of Eftalou, follow the scenic coastal road toward Molyvos, or make the longer journey across the island without depending on the limited bus schedules that serve rural Lesvos. Whether you are island-hopping for a few days or settling in for a longer stay, the flexibility of a rental vehicle transforms your itinerary from a series of constraints into an open invitation to explore.
For travellers who want to experience Lesvos beyond the postcard highlights, a rental car is not a luxury but a necessity. The island rewards those who are willing to turn down an unmarked road toward an olive grove taverna or follow a sign pointing to a Byzantine ruin. Rent a Car Lesvos Number 1 provides that gateway to independence, letting you set your own timetable and linger wherever Lesvos pulls you — and on an island this rich in landscapes, history, and authentic Greek life, it will pull you in many directions at once.
Before you go
What to expect
Picking up a car here puts the whole northern coast within easy reach — Molyvos is minutes away, and the petrified forest at Sigri or the thermal pools at Eftalou become afternoon detours rather than separate day trips. The office sits close to Petra's village center, making collection and drop-off straightforward even for first-time visitors.
Best time to visit
June through September sees peak demand, so advance booking is worthwhile; May and October offer quieter roads and cooler driving conditions across the island.
How to get there
Petra is roughly an hour's drive north of Mytilene along the main coastal road; the rental office is easy to find near the village center.

Ordered electronically from the Czech Republic. Everything went perfectly smoothly and without any problems. No deposit, no credit card. The lady who handed over the car to us was amazing. I don't speak any languages. She translated everything in a translator. I just have to praise and thank you.

I tried renting a car all over the area, but the owners were either trying to figure things out, trying to figure things out, or didn't have any vehicles available. Mrs. Astrid, who speaks Dutch, German, and English fluently, provided me with a car at a reasonable price and with full insurance, which is rare on the island.

I rented a Susuki Ignis. Easy online booking, at a very reasonable price. They do what they promise. Car was well maintained. Very good service, especially from Astrid, she is a great person. If you want to rent a car this is the place for you.

Personal attitude, car was okey-ish, second day it had some issue with electronics so we got stuck. It eas not the company's fault. After a call another car arrived, the guy left the car to us for free so we went home. Finally they didnt want the fuel paid in the previous car which we found fair. I can recommend this rental company from my personal experience.

Great place to rent a car, scooter or quad. Much cheaper than what TUI offers you and real friendly people. TUI is using Avis for their rental cars but they cost twice as much than this awesome place. For your rentals you gotta go to this place. You can also book your boat trips at Number One !!!
