If you plan on visiting Crete and spending most of your trip on an amazing beach somewhere, you most likely can get by without a rental car. If, however, you plan on touring the island extensively, having a rental car is going to make your exploration much easier and far quicker. So as an example of this, if you are going to be exploring a variety of locations on the island, including places such as Elafonissi Beach, the Old Venetian Port of Chania, or Knossos Palace, you are going to really appreciate having your own vehicle.

It is actually quite easy to drive in Crete because of well-maintained roads and drivers that generally pay close attention to driving laws. In Crete, you will drive on the right side of the road, and seatbelts are mandatory for every passenger in a vehicle. Because this is such a beautiful place, most people don't travel too quickly in their car, and you should expect quite a few winding roads the travel up and down mountains. One other thing to remember is that you can often come across animals and livestock traveling across roadways.

Most of the major rental car companies in Crete will expect drivers to be at least 21 years old to rent a car. That said, drivers under the age of 25 years old may have limits put on the rental, such as an additional fee for renting a car or an inability to rent certain types of cars, such as luxury vehicles. For the most part, rental car companies will not expect drivers to have held their driver's license for any amount of time before renting a car.
