Car rental in Rethymno

By hired car to the highlights in and around Rethymno

Hafen von Rethymno

Fortezza, Rethymno

With a hired car, which could be rented already before the holiday over the price comparison at the local car hire, the small city as well as the environment can be explored well. The beaches are also easily accessible. Beach toys, blankets, umbrellas and beach bags thus do not have to be carried far if a hired car is available for the trip to the beach. These beaches should definitely be on your list:

• Spilies Beach
• Schinaria Beach
• Geropotamos Beach
• Damoni Beach

Above the sea tower the ruins of the former fortress Fortezza. These are of course always worth a trip by hired car. The fortress dates back to the 16th century Venetian period of Crete and still guards the old town and port of Rethymno. With a car from a local car hire company, you can quickly get below the fortress, where you can park the hired car and continue on foot. Through small, winding streets of the old town you get to the top. But the climb is worth it, because even though it is a ruin, there are still cannons here and the view over the harbor below and the Mediterranean Sea is breathtaking from here. The old town itself, with its many taverns and restaurants, offers an attractive place for a break before heading back towards your accommodation by car from a car hire company.

The old Venetian harbor is also quickly reached with the car you could hire. A stroll is always worthwhile here. Because as usual in all of Greece, many fishing boats are anchored here. But also modern yachts of guests from all over the world can be found here. If you like, you can set sail on an old pirate ship and see the island of Crete from the sea. Directly on the waterfront promenade is worth a walk, which leads past typical taverns and restaurants, where in addition to the typical meat dishes of Greece, many fish dishes are on the menu,.

Tips for booking a hired car in Rethymno

If a hired car for Rethymno is found cheaply on the internet at a local car hire agency, then attention should be paid above all to the insurance, which can be concluded for this. When hiring a car it is always favorable to take out a fully comprehensive insurance without excess. Because often one is more uncertain at the wheel in a foreign country than at home. Quickly, a damage to the hired car can happen. Then you are on the safe side with the fully comprehensive insurance without excess.

If you want to take turns driving the hired car on holiday, you should select the additional driver option. This way, everyone can sit back and enjoy the view for once.

Certainly, the rental cars from a local car hire agency can also be rented upon arrival at the airport, but often there is no suitable car available for rental due to many advance bookings. Also, the rental cars found by comparing prices on the internet are particularly cheap. Therefore, it is worthwhile to think about a hired car before the holiday and hire it on the internet.
