You'll find Chania Lighthouse and lots more interesting sights in Chania. From Heraklion, it's about 65 miles away.
Why not see the best of Rethymno too? Notable attractions in this colorful city include Fortezza Castle. Rethymno is roughly 35 miles from Heraklion.

Scoring the best deal on your Heraklion rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add in a few more details and compare prices from major suppliers.

Question 6

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Heraklion?

Accepted Answer

You need to be at least 21 to slide behind the wheel of a rental car in Heraklion. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your vacation budget.

Question 7

What do you need to rent a car in Heraklion?

Accepted Answer

Before you can take the wheel in Heraklion, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you don't take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.

Question 8

What side of the road do you drive on in Heraklion?

Accepted Answer

Like the States, stick to the right in Greece. However, that doesn't mean the road rules are the same as at home. Familiarize yourself with the traffic laws before you hit the road in Heraklion.

Question 11

Where can I find a Heraklion car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Heraklion outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at will have all the information you need.

Question 12

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Heraklion?

After meticulously planning your big trip, don't scrimp on your insurance — add collision protection while reserving your Heraklion car rental with Expedia. There are lots of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and round-the-clock emergency support, you can breathe a little easier if the unexpected occurs.

Question 13

Can I drive in Heraklion with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Greece, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 the types of cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
