CHOOSING THE RIGHT VEHICLE

You will love having a rental car in Heraklion to explore. It will allow you to travel at your own pace, visit off the beaten track sights and generally make your time in the island of Crete unique.

The size of vehicle depends on the size of your group and the amount of your luggage. A family may need an SUV rental or to hire a minivan to fit all their suitcases, car seats and passengers. On the other hand, a small group, like a couple, may only need to hire an economy compact car, which saves them money on the rental and on gas!

A small car rental in Heraklion is highly recommended

Economy rental cars are typically the cheapest, and therefore the most likely to be booked!

Obviously the type of car you rent in Heraklion has a notable impact on cost, and it is worth remembering that for many road trips in Crete you will have a much less stressful and cheaper driving experience with a smaller, fuel-efficient vehicle.

Renting a smaller car makes navigating and parking in the many towns and villages that you will visit in Crete significantly easier. In particular, every time you drive down a narrow old town street in Rethimnon, or have to parallel park in one at Heraklion center, an economy small car will make you a little happier as it will be a lot of easier!
