The beautiful Mediterranean island of Crete
is the perfect destination for tourists who wish to enjoy the warm sunny
weather, scenic beauty and a rich cultural heritage and historical legacy. A
holiday in Crete is best enjoyed with your own vehicle. A rental car can
provide you with the freedom to make your own plans. Driving in Crete is a
reward in itself. Roads and even highways in Crete are narrow and have a lot of
bends as they make their way past the mountainous
countryside. The views are absolutely stunning, especially from the roads that
run parallel to the coast. A large number of tourist attractions have options
for camping nearby, and with a rental car, you can easily fit a camping trip
into your itinerary.
The benefits of a rental car in Crete are obvious, but
it is also important to choose a reliable car rental service. The following
tips should help you find one that suits your needs perfectly:
Online
Research:
This is an obvious first step, but the idea is to get information that is as
specific as possible. Visit the websites of numerous car rental companies and
find out everything you can. Local companies offer better service and
facilities, so you will have to learn about unfamiliar names. The quality of
the website will give you some idea about the company, but you will need to dig
deeper. Check their fleet of cars in the booking options, and see if their
vehicles are new. You will rarely get a brand new vehicle in Crete, but it
should not be too old either. Read reviews about them on popular travel
websites, and pay attention to both the good and bad ones. Responses from the
management to bad reviews will give you a very good indication of the quality
of service
References
and Recommendations:
If you know someone who has visited Crete, then their first-hand account of
their experience with car rental companies can be a big help in understanding
how the companies operate. You can learn about the various rules and
regulations that are different from your country, and prepare accordingly.
Additional
Services:
The best car rental services will offer a wide range of free amenities and
services with the car. These include infant and child seats, navigation
systems, road maps, etc. They will also give you contact information that you
can rely upon in an emergency. It is easy to dismiss such services as they are
often considered mandatory, but it is becoming increasingly rare to obtain such
information and services for free elsewhere in the world.
