There are many advantages to hiring a car whilst you are on holiday in Crete. It gives you the freedom to go wherever and whenever you like to visit the marvellous places of interest that are literally dotted all over the island. You can stop where you please and enjoy the scenery as well as eating at a Taverna or restaurant that is off the beaten track. It is in these places that you will have the added bonus of sampling some of the best traditional Cretan dishes and their unique wines.

For the traveller who wants to plan ahead, you can book you hire car from the comfort on your home by going on the Internet. This makes things that much easier on your arrival in Crete because your car will be waiting for you as you get off the plane or even the boat should you choose to get to Crete by way of the sea.

The price of petrol varies from area to area with the lowest price being found in Heraklion. The reason that fuel costs more in the other areas is because of the transport costs involved in getting petrol delivered to these other areas of the island. Also in Heraklion the gas stations are owned by the bigger petrol companies whereas in other places they tend to be smaller companies such as Avin and EKO.

To give a rough idea of much you must expect to pay for petrol and diesel when you are on holiday in Crete you can go on the Internet and check out the current prices, but as a rough guide expect to pay €1.563for unleaded, €1.824 for super unleaded and about €1.337 for diesel. These are approximate prices that you will find at petrol stations in Heraklion.

There are some useful tips that are worth knowing when hiring a car in Crete and these are that the minimum age required to hire one is 21 years old, there are some rental companies who will not consider renting a vehicle to anyone over the age of 70. Drivers under 25 may be asked to pay a surcharge when they rent a car. Seatbelts are mandatory and a child who is 4 years old or younger must be safely secured in a child seat. All drivers who wish to hire a car must have held their licences for longer than 12 months. Drivers who are from outside the European Union must have International driving licences or European Driver’s Permits.

As elsewhere in the world it is always worth checking the exterior of the car before setting off from the rental agency. Third party car insurance is mandatory with an optional theft protection that can be taken out if the hirer wishes to do so. The collision damage waiver works much the same as it does all over the world and this said is always worth taking out in case of accidents.

Crete is one of the best places to spend your summer vacations.
Especially during the summer, the period for which Greece is famous, Crete is the place to be.

Visit Crete during the next two months, July and August,

and you will see why it is considered a top destination. The island provides everything someone would want to do during their vacations: sports, water sports facilities, gorgeous mountainous areas with endless trails, green forests, beaches with the famous Greek crystal clear seawater and, of course, the Cretan food and cuisine specialties.

The Multipla’s handling can almost be considered fun. Thanks to its wide track and wheel in-every-corner styling, the car is very stable through corners with little body roll and lots of grip. It has a nicely damped ride to make it comfortable for passengers.

The Multipla has space for six with three in the front and rear. The main advantage, says Fiat, is that passengers sit closer together and so can talk to each other. This means it’s very wide, and all passengers have plenty of space for elbows.

It is a great choice from Car Hire Crete if you ever make your vacations in Crete with

your family.

Suzuki Jimny is easy to manoeuvre, looks very fashionable and it is very economical.

The Jimny is a city 4×4, which means that it does not consumes any significant amount of gas. It runs like a car on tarmac surfaces but can be used for 4×4 driving when needed.

It has power steering and an extra gear stick for 4×4 driving so you can use it for two different types of driving.

The best part about driving the Jimny is the height.

Its really great to be able to see the road in front from a higher view.

Ideal for bumpy roads like destinations to Samaria canyon, Psiloritis mountain, Preveli and Kastelli. You can make a reservation for Jimny at Car Hire Crete from 31.86 € /day

Fresh from a mid-life facelift, the Renault Megane’s funky design still looks good.

Renault has done much over the past few years to improve build quality across the board and it shows here. The interior uses top quality materials, and the trim fit and finish is excellent.

The five-door models have eight airbags while the three-door has up to 10 and all models get anti-lock brakes. Deadlocks are a standard fit and top versions have a keyless entry and starting system.
