In Chania, it's important to drive on the right-hand side of the road. When driving, you should also be aware of narrow roads and give way to other drivers. In general, Greek drivers are known to be somewhat aggressive on the road, so it's important to stay alert and drive cautiously. Drivers should also be aware that Chania has several steep roads, and some roads are unpaved, so choose a car with good handling capabilities. You're required to keep your driving licence, proof of insurance, and car hire agreement with you at all times while driving. You'll also need identification if stopped by authorities.
Chania car hire offers you greater flexibility to explore the surrounding areas at your own pace. Public transport can be limited, especially if you're looking to travel to more remote destinations. Having a car also means you don't have to worry about adhering to public transport schedules, and you can travel with greater ease and comfort. Additionally, with a hire car, you can travel outside the city and visit other attractions that may be further afield.

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.2 locations in Chania

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.2 locations in Chania

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 Europcar2 locations in Chania

Cons:
Green Motion are crooks. They cancelled the prepaid reservation we had because we were a few hours late. They did not have a working phone number to notify them of schedule change. They did not refund money and only offered to rent us another car for full fees in addition to the amount we had prepaid. They referred us to Priceline who are impossible to work with in getting a refund. Awful experience in every way.2 locations in Chania

Some Chania car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Chania.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Chania car hire.
