Make the most of your stay

Make Chania your starting point.

A car is most useful when you head beyond the harbour: towards the Akrotiri peninsula, the coastal resorts west of town or the villages inland. If your first days are spent in the Old Town, consider collecting the car when your day trips begin.

Tell the supplier exactly where you will stay. A hotel described as Chania may be outside the centre, and the agreed pickup point may be a nearby accessible street. Allow room in the car for luggage as well as passengers, particularly when requesting child seats.

Staying in the Old Town? Ask your accommodation about accessible parking and luggage drop-off before you arrive.

Renting in Chania?

Clear answers for a smoother start. Always check the terms of the car you choose.

All rental questions
Can I book a car online in Chania?

Yes. Choose your dates and pickup point, compare available cars and review the complete total and conditions before confirming.

Should I hire a car for an Old Town stay?

Think about the days you will explore beyond town and whether your accommodation provides parking. You can choose a shorter rental that starts after your city stay.

Can I rent a car in Greece without a deposit?

Selected offers may have a zero security deposit. Use the no-deposit filter and read the car’s terms. A paid protection option may be required. A zero deposit does not automatically remove every liability or mean no advance payment.

Can I book without a credit card?

Some rental companies accept another payment method. Use the no-credit-card filter and check the accepted method for the booking payment, the balance and any deposit. These can be different.

Is full insurance included in every rental?

No. Included protection and optional upgrades vary. Review the excess, covered events and exclusions. A description such as full coverage does not mean every incident or use of the car is covered.

Can I pick up after a late flight?

Enter your expected arrival time and check the supplier’s hours, out-of-hours fees and flight-delay procedure. Use the contact and instructions on your booking voucher if your plans change.

Can I book child seats?

Check the extras offered for the selected car and confirm a seat suitable for the child’s age and size. Review availability, any charge and fitting arrangements before travel.

Can I take the car on a ferry?

Get written permission from the rental company before making a ferry booking. Check whether the route is allowed and whether protection applies during transport and on the destination island.

Can I rent in Chania without a deposit?

Search your Chania dates and apply the no-deposit filter. Verify a zero security deposit in the selected car’s conditions. Any paid options and advance rental payment are separate amounts.

Are there no-credit-card options in Chania?

Use the no-credit-card filter and check the accepted methods for the advance payment, balance and deposit. Debit-card or cash acceptance depends on the individual offer.

Can I choose a €0 excess for a rental in Chania?

Check the selected car’s protection and any option that reduces the excess to zero. Review covered damage, exclusions and the total cost. This is not a universal condition for every car.
