Top Insider Tips for Effortlessly Renting a Car in Rethimno, Crete

Remember, a well-planned car rental experience can significantly enhance your trip, offering the freedom to explore Crete’s rich history, landscapes, and culture.

One of the advantages of renting a car in Rethymno, as opposed to taking a cab or public transportation, is that you can easily transport the entire group to popular spots in the area, such as the Old Town of Rethymno, Preveli Beach, and Arkadi Monastery. Cabs and public buses can also take you to these places, but cabs can be quite expensive and public buses do not allow you to follow your own schedule. Also, if you have a large group or are bringing a significant amount of luggage, both options are limited.
The best place to rent a car in Rethymno at the airport is at Chania International Airport Ioannis Daskalogiannis (CHQ), west of town. The airport offers rental services from three major rental companies as well as several local rental companies. All companies have counters near baggage claim, and rental cars are located just outside the terminal building.
Seat belts are required for all occupants in Rethymno car rentals, and children between the ages of 3 and 11 are required to use a child safety seat appropriate for their size. It is the responsibility of the child’s parent/guardian or the person renting the car to ensure that the child seat is properly installed. Check the rental car for necessary equipment such as a fire extinguisher, triangular hood, and first aid kit. These pieces of equipment are mandatory and contribute to road safety. Driving in this area is on the right side of the road.

Whether you need an international driver’s license to rent a car depends on the country where your current driver’s license was issued. If your license is in a language that uses the Latin alphabet and includes a photo, you may not need an international driver’s license. However, if your license is in a different script (such as Cyrillic, Chinese, Arabic, etc.), it’s recommended to have an international driving permit. This permit serves as a translation and should be carried alongside your original driver’s license. Always check with the car rental company for specific requirements before your trip.
