Tips for renting a car in Crete
Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Crete including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on September 11, 2025.
- Before you get behind the wheel of a rental car in Crete with your family, make sure that you know what Greece’s car seat requirements are. Infants must be placed in a rear-facing car seat suitable for their weight and size until they are 9 months old or reach 9 kilograms (approximately 20 pounds) in weight. Children aged 9 months to 3 years old (or weighing 9 kg to 18 kg) must use a forward-facing car seat. Children aged 3 to 11 years old and under 135 cm (approximately 4 feet 5 inches) in height must use a booster seat.
- During your time in Crete, you may be interested in exploring some of the other Greek islands, which typically involves the use of ferries. Rental companies in Crete often have strict policies regarding taking rental cars on ferries. Some companies prohibit it entirely, while others might allow it with prior arrangement and additional fees. Always check with your rental car provider about their specific policies. You will also want to verify your rental car insurance coverage for taking the vehicle on a ferry. Some rental agreements may not cover potential damages that occur during ferry transport.
- It is important to keep in mind that most of the cars driven on Crete have manual transmissions. Most car rental companies in Crete, especially at major airports and tourist areas, offer a range of vehicles with automatic transmissions. However, it's important to keep in mind that automatic cars might be in somewhat lower supply than manual cars in some regions, so it's a good idea to book in advance to secure the type of car you prefer. Additionally, be aware that rental rates for automatic cars could be higher than those for manual cars.

Car rental FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Crete, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on September 11, 2025.
Should I rent a car in Crete?
Crete is a large island with diverse attractions, including beaches, historical sites, and picturesque villages. Having a car provides the flexibility to explore different parts of the island at your own pace and to access areas that cannot be reached by public transportation, of which there are many. In addition, Crete has beautiful scenic routes, especially in areas like the Samaria Gorge and the Lassithi Plateau. Having a car allows you to enjoy these drives and stop at viewpoints along the way. In major cities like Heraklion or Chania, you will have access to public transportation, but it is limited and not always reliable.
What is driving like in Crete?
Driving in Crete offers a mix of scenic routes, charming villages, and challenging road conditions. Major roads connecting cities and popular tourist destinations are generally in good condition, but some rural roads can be narrow, winding, and less well-maintained, especially in mountainous areas. Coastal routes can be scenic, but they might also be winding and hilly. Watch out for pedestrians, especially in villages, and be cautious of animals on or near the roads, especially in rural areas. Cretan drivers are known for being assertive, and road etiquette might be different from what you're used to. Be prepared for sudden maneuvers and overtaking.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Crete?
The minimum age to rent a car in Crete, as in the rest of Greece, is typically 21 years old. Some rental agencies may require you to be older to rent certain types of cars, like luxury vehicles or passenger vans. Most rental agencies often charge additional daily fees for drivers under the age of 25.
