Car Rental for a Crete Road Trip: practical details
Unlimited kilometres
The advertised package supports longer approved-road itineraries without a kilometre cap.

Travel planning
Design a realistic itinerary
Crete is long and road conditions vary. Avoid changing accommodation every night unless you genuinely want frequent packing and driving. Group nearby destinations and include rest days.
Practical guide
Choose a car for the whole trip
The smallest car may not be the best choice for several adults and luggage. Consider an automatic for ease, a family car for boot space or a minivan for larger groups.
For a written quote, select the exact location, dates, vehicle category and transmission in the form. Add flight, ferry, hotel, villa and child-seat information where relevant.
Travel planning
Road-trip safety and exclusions
