10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Crete

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV to accommodate extra passengers, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to hire and easier to manoeuvre in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals implement a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most cost-effective choice. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well, but ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Renting a car from airports often incurs a surcharge, although the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed.
