Greek Car Seat Law in Rhodes — Taxi Exemption Applies

Greek child car seat law requires children under 12 years old or shorter than 135 cm to use an approved child restraint. However, Greek law does not apply these requirements to licensed taxis. Taxis in Greece are not bound by the child seat regulations, and children may legally travel in a Rhodes taxi without a seat. This is consistent across all Greek islands, including Rhodes, Kos, and Corfu.

In practice, most Rhodes taxis carry no child seat. There is no Uber or Bolt on Rhodes — ride-hailing apps are not available on any Greek island. Pre-booking through Taxibambino is the only way to guarantee a certified, installed seat for your RHO airport arrival or any Rhodes resort transfer.

• Seat confirmed at booking — infant seat, forward-facing or booster, installed before your driver arrives at RHO

• Driver at RHO arrivals with name sign — no scramble at the summer peak taxi rank

• Fixed EUR price confirmed before travel — Tariff 2 applies for all airport transfers. No meter surprises for Lindos.

• Flight monitoring — driver adjusts for delays at no extra charge

• Under 135 cm or under 12: child seat required in private vehicles. Greek licensed taxis exempt.

• No Uber, no Bolt: ride-hailing apps not available in Rhodes or any Greek island.

• EUR (Euro): Greece uses the Euro. All fares in €.

• Tariff 2 for all airport transfers: applies outside city limits and at night (00:00–05:00). All RHO transfers use Tariff 2.
