What Should I Do If I Have an Accident in My Rental Car in Greece?
If you're in an accident with a rental car from CHQ, prioritize safety and call the police (100) and ambulance (166) if needed. Do not admit fault. Contact your rental company's emergency number immediately. Take photos of the scene, damages, and license plates. Exchange information with the other party and complete the accident report form provided by your rental agency.

What Should I Know About Refueling a Rental Car in Greece?
In Greece, most gas stations offer full service, so an attendant will pump the gas for you. Be sure to clearly state the fuel type your rental car needs, such as unleaded ('amoliwdi') or diesel ('petreleo'). Most rentals from CHQ use a full-to-full policy, so return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. While cards are common, having cash is always a good idea.

عرض التفاصيل

Crete Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental answers for exploring Crete's scenic roads and beaches

Can I use my US driver's license to drive in Crete, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
Yes, you need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your US license. Greek law requires non-EU visitors to carry an IDP, which is a translation of your license into Greek. You can get an IDP through AAA in the US before departure (about $20). Without it, you risk fines of €50-200 if stopped by police, and your insurance may become void. Renters typically ask for both documents at pickup.
I'm under 25—will I pay extra to rent a car in Crete, and how much?
Yes, expect a young driver surcharge of €15-30 per day if you're between 21-24. Most rental companies in Crete set the minimum age at 21, though some luxury or specialty vehicles require drivers to be at least 25. This surcharge can add €300-600 to a week-long rental, so factor it into your budget. Some agencies offer waivers if you purchase full coverage insurance.
Are Crete's mountain roads as terrifying as people say?
They can be challenging. Crete's famous mountain roads like the Aradena Gorge road and roads to Samaria Gorge have sharp switchbacks, no guardrails in places, and narrow widths. A 20km mountain drive can take 45 minutes. Drive slowly, use lower gears on descents, and honk before blind corners as locals do. Avoid these roads entirely if you're not comfortable with mountain driving—coastal routes are gentler.
How do I pay for toll roads and fuel in Crete?
Crete's main highway A90 has tolls (about €3-5 for full length), payable in cash or card at toll booths. For fuel, unleaded 95 and 98 gasoline are widely available (around €1.80-2.10 per liter). Diesel is also common. Most rentals come with a full-to-full fuel policy—receive it full, return it full. Watch for gas stations closing on Sundays and in remote areas.
Is it safe to drive in Crete during summer's extreme heat?
Summer temperatures often exceed 40°C (104°F), especially in July-August. Rent a car with working A/C, carry extra water for yourself and the radiator, and check tire pressure before long drives—heated roads increase blowout risk. Afternoon driving is exhausting; start early (6-8 AM) and finish by early afternoon. Greeks also tend to drive faster on coastal roads when it's hot, so stay alert.
What happens if I get a traffic fine or violation while driving a rental in Crete?
Rental companies routinely charge your credit card for any fines plus an admin fee (typically €20-30) after you return. Speeding fines start at €50 and escalate quickly for severe violations. If you receive a ticket directly, you can pay it at Greek post offices or online via the traffic authority website. Unpaid fines can block you from future Greek vehicle rentals, so don't ignore them.
