If you are planning a vacation in Crete,
then along with important details such as flight tickets, hotels, and
sightseeing trips, you must also consider renting a car so you can get around
without any worries. Picking up a rental car at
Heraklion airport is a practical choice, as you will have access to a vehicle as
soon as you land in Crete.
Heraklion is an international airport and
the second busiest in Greece after Athens airport. The airport can get
extremely crowded, especially during the summer. Unsurprisingly, there are a
large number of car rental services at Heraklion for the convenience of
tourists. While one can be spoilt for choice, renting a car after landing is a
matter of patience and waiting as the booths can be quite busy. However, with
some preparation beforehand, you can quickly get what you need.

Enjoy the advantages of pre-booking:
Rental car agencies
have their kiosks in a queue at the airport. They service vacationers as well
as the business tourists with amazing offers and deals on their cars. However,
for your convenience, it is better to book a car before you land in Crete.
Booking early can
help you select the service, car, accessories and other options from the
comfort of your home. You can take ample time before selecting the services as
per your preference and compare various services available before making your
choice. Booking a car at a kiosk after a long and tiring trip can often lead to
settling for a less than perfect deal as you would want to get to your hotel as
soon as possible.

Know the car rental rules of the country:
The laws, rules and
regulations for car rental are mostly uniform in European countries,
particularly EU members. It would still be a good idea to visit the official
website maintained by the government for tourists. Most car rental companies
will also mention the important rules and regulations. It is important to
remember that you are a guest in the country and to respect the laws of the
land. A traffic ticket in your country can be handled easily, but when abroad,
reflects poorly on your country and on other tourists. Greece has very steep
fines for traffic violations, so always remember to wear seatbelts, use turn
signals, and so on.
As with any other
car rental, always double check the rates, fuel, and the insurance facilities the
company is offering before you sign your name.
