Keep the easy Pefkos days easy
Pefkos is a relaxed seaside base south of Lindos, with beach coves and a straightforward dining rhythm. Depending on where you stay, the immediate beach and evening plans may not need a car.
I would look at the property location before deciding on a full-stay rental. A convenient room near the places you use locally and a stay farther from them can justify different transport choices.
For a mostly beach-focused holiday, a short planned hire can be enough. Choose the days that add a visit beyond the resort rather than make every familiar restaurant journey a driving task.

Pre-arranged delivery suits the local supply pattern
Some cars for Pefkos come from Lindos or Lardos rather than being based in the resort. That is a good reason to book in advance when your plans need a particular car.
A hotel handover can be a practical request. Compare the listed vehicle and conditions, give the actual accommodation information and have the company confirm the collection arrangement.
I would not assume delivery is automatically included or immediate. A clear confirmation gives you a useful starting point for the day and avoids an unnecessary trip to collect somewhere else. For arrival day, compare an airport-to-resort transfer with collecting at the airport.

Lindos or the southern coast: choose the outing
Lindos is a natural dedicated visit from a Pefkos stay, but the car should be left outside the village for the walking part. Plan the visit around the Acropolis setting, village or bays you want rather than driving in search of the closest doorway.
For a different day, the coast through Kiotari and Gennadi towards Lachania gives you space for beaches and a village stop. I would keep that as its own outing instead of squeeze it after a long Lindos visit.
Leave room for a stop you enjoy. The point of renting from Pefkos is to widen the holiday comfortably, not turn a relaxed base into a timetable of distant places. More route ideas are in places to visit in Rhodes by car.

Compare a suitable car, not just the nearest quote
Use passengers, luggage and transmission preference to narrow the choice. A compact is a sensible starting point for day trips; a family with more equipment should compare usable room before selecting the lowest rate.
Marketplace prices can match those in local offices and sometimes be lower because rental companies adjust offers with demand and supply. Compare the current car and conditions rather than assume a walk-in quote is a special local bargain.
For an automatic or larger car in summer, I would arrange the request once dates are clear. You want a suitable confirmed option, not a promise that every early booking will be the cheapest.

Request the car for the Pefkos days that need it
Open the Rhodes Booking Marketplace car listings and compare the actual vehicles, displayed prices and rental conditions. Choose an offer for your intended outings and a handover requested for your accommodation.
Fill in its booking/contact form with the travel and contact details it requests and submit it. The rental company contacts you to confirm availability and confirms the booking, with collection and return settled through that conversation.
My plan would be Pefkos beach days without a parked rental by default, plus a confirmed car for the trip or trips that genuinely add something beyond them.
