Car Rental in Chania Crete – Useful Tips

02/02/2017 By andonisvoug Αφηστε σχολιο

Getting a car rental in Crete is very easy – all you need to do is to search online or to pick up the phone.


It is even possible for you to go to a car rental agency in Crete and leave a few minutes later with your rented car. Even if you make your reservation at the last minute, you are sure to find the car that you need, and maybe at the price that you want.

However, the car rental process in Crete does not stop with you contacting the agency and then swiping your credit card or having cash pass hands. You have to sign a contract with them, and it is very important that you pay close attention to the terms and conditions of the contract before signing your name on it.

The car rental company whose car you would be hiring in Crete should also take the time to explain to you these terms and conditions before taking your money. In this way, you will not have any unpleasant surprises if something happens to you on the roads of Crete, especially when you make insurance claims.

Here are some important requirements and conditions that you need to understand before renting a car in Crete.

Age and Driving License

To be able to hire a car rental service in Crete and Greece, you need to be of a certain age. The minimum age is 21 years old, and there are some car rental agencies that refuse to hire their cars out to people over 70 years old. If a driver is younger than 25 years old, he or she may be asked to pay a young driver surcharge.

At any age, drivers are required to keep their seatbelt and those of their passengers on whenever they are on the go. If the driver is with a child four years old or younger, it is mandatory for him or her to get child seats for the car rental they will be using in Crete.

Aside from the age requirement, car rental services in Crete also have license requirements. Drivers seeking to get car rental services in Crete must have a valid license and they must have had that license for at least one year. If they are not residents of Greece or the European Union, they must have an international driving license or a European Driver’s Permit. The international driving license is also required if the license that the driver possesses is not written in .

Car Condition

Before you leave the car rental agency’s office in Crete with your rented vehicle, you should give the vehicle a good examination. Make sure that you have a serviceable spare tire in the trunk. Also, check the car for any scratches, bumps or any form of damage before taking it and make sure that these damages are listed on your service agreement with the car rental agency. If you do not make note of them and get them listed on the agreement, you will be made to pay for them when you return the car. Car rental service agreements in Crete often include a separate sheet for this list.

Car Rental Insurance Coverage in Crete

How does the car rental agency in Crete that you hire handle insurance in case of theft, damage or accidents while you have their car? Click here to read more about Car rental insurance coverage in Crete

Fuel In or Gas In

When the car you rented is delivered to you or before you leave the car rental office in Crete with your rented vehicle, you should do two things. One is that you should check if the gas in or fuel in recorded by the agency is the same as the actual amount of petrol in the gauge of the car. The other is that you should ask the car rental agency their policy regarding fuel quantities inside the tank of the car.

Also, when you return the car to the agency, you should make sure that the fuel in the car’s tank is the same as the recorded fuel in or gas in. More often than not, car rental agencies in Crete do not refund their customers for any amount of fuel in excess of the fuel in or gas in amount. This is why it is important for you to be clear about the fuel quantity policy before you take the car.

Find the gas stations with the cheapest petrol prices in Crete

Mileage In

Most car rental companies in Crete hire out their cars with unlimited mileage, but there are still some that charge mileage costs for the cars they rent out. If the agency charges mileage costs, they would make note of the mileage on the car when you rent it from them and again when you return the car. If you can only drive a specific number of miles per day or per rental, you will be required to pay for mileage exceeding your limit.

Second Driver

If you are travelling with a group or if you plan to make long trips across Crete, it is always convenient to have another driver with you. But you have to make this clear with the car rental agency from which you would be hiring the car in Crete. In this case, you will have to sign an additional agreement which lists all the people who would be driving the car. There may be extra fees for this, but most car rental companies in Crete allow additional drivers for free.

Police Tickets

Any police tickets that you will get from violating the Greek traffic laws while you are using a rental car in Crete are completely your responsibility. But you should nonetheless call up the car rental agency you got the car from if you get a police ticket. Police tickets in Greece can cost you a lot, so you have to follow Greek traffic laws closely, such as sticking to speed limits, keeping your seatbelt on all the time, and parking only where it is allowed.

Delivery and Return

You will often find that car rental companies in Crete often advertise that they can pick up and drop off their cars to the airport, to any hotel or to any port in Crete free of charge. This is certainly true if the location you have specified is in the same locale as or is near the agency’s office.

However, if you are in a specific area and you want to get a rental car in another area in Crete – say, you are in Chania and the rental car company is located in Heraklion – you will have to pay an additional fee for getting the car delivered to you, unless you would be using the car for more than a week.

Late Car Return

When you take out a rental car in Crete, make sure that you return it on the day and time that you are supposed to return it. Otherwise, you will be charged additional fees equivalent to an extra day or two of renting the car. Also, return the car only on days that the agency’s office is open. If something happens to the car if you leave it there while they are closed, you will be held liable.

Cancellations

You do not have to worry about cancellations if you have to renege on your reservation for a car rental in Crete. When you call in for a cancellation, you actually help the agency manage their fleet in a better manner.

But you have to decide whether you will cancel your reservation or not early on. You can change your mind about the idea of getting a car rental in Crete, but once you have decided and called up the agency about it, there would be no turning back.

Also, you have to inform the agency right away if you decide not to go through with the car rental in Crete. If you call them too late or if you do not show up to pick up the car, you will be charged a fee through the credit card information you gave them when you first made the reservation for the car.

Great experience with the family! Customer service was on point and they were super helpful with the whole process.... Directed us to the beaches around the island and stayed in touch with us if we ever needed anything. They kindly picked up our rental at our AirBnb and arranged a taxi for us to the airport. Don’t hesitate to book with them and won’t scam you. I would come back here next time I visit!Διαβάστε περισσότερα

This is the best place to rent a car from!!! We hadn't booked a car for our 3 day trip in Chania and just happened to... stumble upon this tiny office near Old town. We were welcomed by Stefanos, who kindly explained the details ,and wrote down an itinerary of places to visit the next day (this guy is awesome!). We went back next evening and were recommended more places, restaurants to try and shops to get local produce, all of which we enjoyed. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Thanks Stefanos & George!Διαβάστε περισσότερα

My friend and I were looking to rent an automatic vehicle which was very difficult in Chania considering that almost... everyone drives manually in Greece and almost everywhere in the world, so we got turned down by many rental companies before we came across Safedrive. When we came asked for a rental they explained that they might have one for us and they did everything in there power to make sure that we left with an automatic car that day. They were extremely helpful and friendly not only renting us the vehicle but giving us amazing details about Crete such as things to do and see. They did it out of pure kindness because they could have just rented us the car and been done with it. Safedrive really made our trip one that can never be forgotten. Even after we returned the car, we went to them for advice on many things. They offer a variety of tour options that allow you to see all the most beautiful destinations in Crete ( Balos, Elafonissi, etc). I just want to say thank you guys so much, our trip would have not been then same with out your advice and assistance. See you next year!Διαβάστε περισσότερα

Elaine and I spent several days in Chania and needed to rent a car. We were recommended to Safedrive by our hotel. It... was a pleasure and stress free working with George, the owner. He thoroughly explained the details of the contract and pointed out the coverage details- no surprises. He also spent over20 mins suggesting sites to visit and places to eat on our journey. You will be pleased with your rental. Yia-Sou, Georgos- Peter Harissis, Rochester., NYΔιαβάστε περισσότερα

Was in Chania, Crete with my husband and sister 2 weeks ago and had a marvellous time and renting a car from George at... Safedrive made our holiday there even more special. Not only was he kind and helpful and full of suggestions and advise for restaurants and sights, he also helped us with choices for safe overnight parking at places that were free or with him for a mere 5 Euros. Of course we opted to go with George who even offered to wait for our return after closing hours if we were late. Even with a rudimentary map, with George's help and directions, we easily navigated our way through the city centre, and drove to all the places we wanted to visit and back with no mishaps. If you are ever in Chania, Crete, I recommend renting a car with Safedrive. Having travelled extensively throughout Europe and renting cars in most cities, Safedrive is one of the best , if not the THE best I've ever come across; honest, caring and just amazing !!!!! Thank you so much George. Will see you on our next trip to Chania!Διαβάστε περισσότερα

An absolutely incredible hire care company!! Travelling from Australia we are always nervous when wanting to hire a... car from a place we have never visited. Countless hours googling companies and being put off by bad reviews - look no further as this company is world class. We genuinely have never felt so comfortable hiring a car. Anastasia and Stefanos treated us like family. From the moment we walked into their (very small :)) office they did everything they could to make our trip more enjoyable. As others reviewers have said, they sat down with us EVERYDAY to help us plan our itinerary - providing us with hidden secrets and suggestions that suited our style. We LOVED every recommendation. The car was immaculate - clean and new. They are professional and upfront, allowing piece of mind which is exactly what the other car hire companies in Chania lack. They are a large part of why we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will be returning again soon. Family businesses are always the way to go. Thanks again!! Maddi and Liam.Διαβάστε περισσότερα

It was such a great experience, so much better than renting from a big international chain. Clean, well functioning,... well maintained car, super friendly service, personalized airport drop-off.

We hired a car for 5 days and were most impressed with the service we received from Stefan and George. They gave us... tips and hints on places to visit and pointed them out on the map. The added bonus was that they had a lock-up car park where they took the car each night so no extra worry for us trying to find parking each night. Definitely recommend them, hope you did well Steve in the billards/snooker competition! Bob AustraliaΔιαβάστε περισσότερα

I reserved a car for a few days in mid-August and found the service, quality of the car and prices to be above the... rest. Stephano and Tasia, the owners, as well as George, the assistant, went well out of their way to find me a car at the last minute when there were few available with other car rental shops.
