Top tips for renting a car in Chania
- You can utilize the cheap car rentals in Chania for your chance to visit nearby cities such as Mouzouras, Daratsos, and Souda when you are on vacation with your friends or family. It will take about 25min to travel from Chania to Mouzouras, a distance of 10.7 miles. The distance from Chania to Daratsos is 3.3 miles, which you can cover in 14min using a rental car from one of the Chania car rentals. It will take you 13min to drive from Chania to Souda, a distance of 4.1 miles.
- The best place to rent a car in Chania for travelers arriving at the city by air is at Chania International Airport. At the airport’s Main Arrival Hall, you will access car rental desks for Hertz, Avis, and Thrifty, among other car rentals. If you are near the city center, you can rent a car from Motive Rental. You can connect to the city center from Chania International Airport using public transport or a taxi before renting your car. It will take you about 40min at the Motive Rental office from Chania International Airport if you use taxi.
- If you arrive in the city by train, you will be able to get your rental car from one of the Chania car rentals, which have their offices at all the major train stations in the city. Suppose you are arriving at The Little Fun Train Station Agia Marina, you will find Europcar and Thrifty are among the cheap car rentals in Chania you can consider. If you are using your rental car to travel from The Little Fun Train Station Agia Marina to Chania city center, it will take you about 18 miles to cover the 6.2 miles journey.
- Chania is a centrally located city on the largest Greek island of Crete, famous for its Venetian harbor and being surrounded by incredible crystal blue waters. Renting a car will give you the ability to reach some of the island’s isolated beauty such as Samaria Gorge, the longest gorge in Europe that spans over 16 km and culminates in an opening to the Mediterranean Sea. World renowned Balos and Elafonissi beaches lie west of Chania and are unreachable without a rental car, unless you decide to purchase a pre-organized tour or commit to the lengthy and unreliable public transport system.
- Chania International Airport is located 15 km (9 miles) from the city center. A number of major global rental companies including Europcar, Budget, and Enterprise have counters at the airport, situated in the arrivals area. If you are traveling to Chania during the peak European summer months, make sure to book your rental in advance using KAYAK to avoid missing the best deal. Heraklion International Airport is the other major arrival destination for the island of Crete and can often have cheaper flights, but it is almost a three-hour drive to Chania with Rethymno being the only major city in between.
- It is vital that you carry an International Driver's Permit (IDP) while driving in Greece, as companies will not risk renting to you without one. An IDP is simply a translation of your current driver’s license to multiple other languages, no test is required and you can order it online.
- Due to lack of a central business district, Chania does not experience rush hour as many major cities do across the world. Instead there is sporadic congestion caused by flocking tourists during the holiday season, generally most noticeable on the roads during the middle of the day. Ensure your safety by avoiding driving during the peak heat of the day; leave early in the morning and reach your destination before the temperature climbs.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Chania for C$ 45 or less
- Book your rental car in Chania at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
The signage at Chania airport could be clearer for those who are not arriving via plane. I went to the lot only to be told I had to go inside to check in. After walking back and forth, there was quite a bit of time waiting for the attendants to pick up and bring the cars to the lot. They were working very hard but the whole process seemed to take a very long time.Thrifty

NothingCons:
Upon arrival in Crete, Sixt was the only company that had closed their station. Our flight was delayed and we arrived before midnight. Once, we grabbed our luggage we hurried to the car rental area only to be told the person working the Sixt station left a couple minutes before us. All the other car rentals (enterprise, hertz, Avis, etc) were laughing when we told them Sixt had left as they checked the late arrivals and made sure to stay. Sixt automation system was not working and I had no way to contact them to rearrange. Will never book with them again.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Cons:
They did not let us rent the car. We were not allowed to rent the car due to not allegedly having a AAA international license. We didn't have that license and we were still able to rent a car from a different kiosk in Chania and also in Santorini. I suspect that since I was able to lock in a good rate for the car reservation they did not want to honor the pricing.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Couldn't rent the car because I didn't have an international license. Would have been good to know this before I got there. Ended up having to rent a piece of junk car from some shady rental place on the side of the highway. On the plus side, I saved 100 Euro because it was way cheaper than EuropcarExer Rent a Car

Pros:
Caldera were excellent as they had NO booking from Kayak but were still able to find us a 9 seater minibus for me and my family. If not then we would of either had 2 vehicles or no vehicle at allCons:
No booking from Kayak to Caldera, lucky we had a voucher booking reference with us. Also no pick up from airport as arranged and I had to leave my children and elderly parents at the airport while I had to walk and find the hire company. Process took over an hour as they had to locate a vehicle large enough for the family which left them worrying at the airport.Goldcar Rental SP
