KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Rethymno

  • When you land in the beautiful city of Rethymno, you will want to be able to explore this gorgeous part of Crete, which is why a Rethymno car hire is such a great idea. Public transportation will not take you to the sites and areas you need to see, so car hire is a logical solution. The diverse landscapes, sandy beaches and historical cobbled roads make driving in the city and its surrounds plenty of fun. Beaches such as Adelianos Kambos, Perivolia and Plataniasm offer breath-taking drives and the historical side to the city is a stunning drawcard. With many winding roads across mountainscapes and great view points over the city, seeing Rethymno by car hire is an absolute treat.
  • As you arrive at Rethymno Airport, you will find a plethora of car hire companies at your disposal. Global brands such as Alamo, Thrifty, GREEN MOTION and Alma are on site as well as Abby Car, Goldcar Rental, Caldera and others. Many of them can provide a shuttle service to collect you as you arrive, such as Alamo, Thrify and Goldcar. Being able to drive off the airport lot in your own vehicle and instantly begin exploring is an added bonus of a car hire at Rethymno Airport.
  • Driving your car rental in Rethymno should be a joy, and offer plenty of exhilarating journeys too. The bilingual signs will be a great bonus if you don’t speak Greek too. Make sure you remain buckled up in all seats and if you are transporting a child under 12 they will need to remain in the backseat. Keep under the alcohol limit of 0.05%, make sure you are comfortable with traffic circles, stick to the right-hand side of the road, and be on the lookout for mopeds.
  • You shouldn’t expect too many difficulties when driving your car hire in Rethymno, as roads are well-maintained in the urban areas.  As you venture past the city you may find roads are less signed, rockier and not always in the best condition. Pedestrians, as well as animals, are everywhere and animals can tend to find their ways to the main roads. The bends of the mountainous areas can be treacherous and slippery, so err on the side of caution and drive slowly. Rush hour isn’t a major concern but it may be worth booking a GPS with your car hire company, which can fore-warn you of congestion.
  • Book your rental car in Rethymno at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Rethymno are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Rethymno?

    There are two types of car that are frequently hired in this part of Crete. Small economy cars are popular because of the narrow, winding streets and will provide manoeuvrability and easy parking options if you are planning on remaining urban. The other alternative is a more powerful SUV vehicle. Tougher vehicles tend to come in handy for outlying trips, as there are some steep hills and unpredictable terrain. If you are looking to drive on beaches then an SUV is also a good choice.

  • What’s the speed limit in Rethymno?

    Speed limits are important anywhere but in a city where there is the possibility of roads being unpredictable, it is always better to take heed of them. In urban areas you can drive 30 miles per hour (50 km). When using the highway you can drive up to 56 mph (90 km). These speed limits are quite tame compared to many other cities and for good reason. So take it easy on your trip to Rethymno and avoid fines.

  • Where are the best places to park in Rethymno?

    You should be able to find on-street parking with your car hire in Rethymno, although on narrow streets you may find it a tight squeeze. It is often best to park on the outskirts of the city and walk into the centre. In Rethymno, the Marina of Rethymno is the cheapest lot available and based approximately 500 meters from all the action. Parking Kentrou on Dimitrakaki Street is another paid parking option, with staff to watch your car.

Very poor, they made a mistake and sent the car to the wrong location and refused to rectify it. They even tried to charge 5x the original quote to fix their mistake.
