10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Ierapetra

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for a spacious SUV, a fun convertible for the summer, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking early often leads to lower prices and a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically have lower rental rates and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a great balance of affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may incur higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements may require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most favorable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well; just remember to return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You might incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at the airport, but the added convenience could make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if anything unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ierapetra?
At least 21. But there are a handful of age-related requirements you should bear in mind before you reserve your wheels in Ierapetra. If you're a younger driver, most rental outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between suppliers. It's always a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Ierapetra?
While booking conditions can differ between outlets, the basics are a current driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ierapetra?
Cruising around Ierapetra may feel like second nature to drivers from the States. This place, and the rest of Greece, sticks to the right.

Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ierapetra?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart choice for your upcoming Ierapetra vacation. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Ierapetra with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Greece, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
