Sun, Sea & Steering Wheels: Rent a Car in Chania and Explore with Ease

 


You don’t necessarily need a car to explore Chania’s charming streets, but if you plan to travel beyond the city, it’s better to rent your own vehicle. With Cretarent, you can easily rent a car in Chania and return it to another location, such as Heraklion or Agios Nikolaos. By offering this flexibility, we make sure that you can explore every corner of Crete without worry, even the secluded spots that public transport can’t reach!

Travel comfortably and in style

Why rely on buses when you can drive in comfort and on your own time? We offer a wide selection of vehicles to match your budget and travel style, so you can enjoy the freedom of having your own vehicle, whether you’re exploring mountain roads or cruising along the coast. Choose from compact cars or spacious SUVs, even minibuses or sturdy 4x4s — all from trusted brands and in excellent condition. You can rent a car in Chania from Cretarent online — before your trip — and pay when you arrive.

Where to go with your rental car

One of the best ways to discover Crete’s incredible mix of landscapes and history is by renting a car from us. Just 43 kilometres south of Chania, you’ll find Samaria Gorge National Park, a spectacular hiking destination known for its rugged cliffs and breathtaking views.

Need a beach day? Drive about 80 kilometres from Chania to Elafonissi Beach, where you’ll see shimmering turquoise waters and soft white sand dunes. Continue west, and you’ll reach the nearby Cedar Forest, another natural wonder worth visiting.

If you’re in the mood for something more traditional, you can drive to Sfakia or Agia Roumeli and take a boat to Loutro. This peaceful fishing village was an important port in Roman and Hellenic times, but it holds its charm by offering crystal-clear waters and a serene atmosphere that will help you relax without the usual crowd of tourists.

Let’s make your island adventure more memorable

When you rent a car in Chania with Cretarent, you’ll get a vehicle that gives you peace of mind. Our rentals include full insurance and unlimited mileage, so you can drive as far as your journey takes you without extra costs or worry.
