Take your time and be aware of the scooters. The underground carparks are the easiest to use as payment on street parking can be confusing. When on the main roads and the version of the motorway, stay to right allowing other vehicles to pass more easy

Hertz allows for 24 hour drop off. I will only rent from them when I am in Crete

Chania is a centrally located city on the largest Greek island of Crete, famous for its Venetian harbor and being surrounded by incredible crystal blue waters. Renting a car will give you the ability to reach some of the island’s isolated beauty such as Samaria Gorge, the longest gorge in Europe that spans over 16 km and culminates in an opening to the Mediterranean Sea. World renowned Balos and Elafonissi beaches lie west of Chania and are unreachable without a rental car, unless you decide to purchase a pre-organized tour or commit to the lengthy and unreliable public transport system.
Chania International Airport is located 15 km (9 miles) from the city center. A number of major global rental companies including Europcar, Budget, and Enterprise have counters at the airport, situated in the arrivals area. If you are traveling to Chania during the peak European summer months, make sure to book your rental in advance using KAYAK to avoid missing the best deal. Heraklion International Airport is the other major arrival destination for the island of Crete and can often have cheaper flights, but it is almost a three-hour drive to Chania with Rethymno being the only major city in between.
It is vital that you carry an International Driver's Permit (IDP) while driving in Greece, as companies will not risk renting to you without one. An IDP is simply a translation of your current driver’s license to multiple other languages, no test is required and you can order it online.
Due to lack of a central business district, Chania does not experience rush hour as many major cities do across the world. Instead there is sporadic congestion caused by flocking tourists during the holiday season, generally most noticeable on the roads during the middle of the day. Ensure your safety by avoiding driving during the peak heat of the day; leave early in the morning and reach your destination before the temperature climbs.
You can utilize the cheap car rentals in Chania for your chance to visit nearby cities such as Mouzouras, Daratsos, and Souda when you are on vacation with your friends or family. It will take about 25min to travel from Chania to Mouzouras, a distance of 10.7 miles. The distance from Chania to Daratsos is 3.3 miles, which you can cover in 14min using a rental car from one of the Chania car rentals. It will take you 13min to drive from Chania to Souda, a distance of 4.1 miles.
The best place to rent a car in Chania for travelers arriving at the city by air is at Chania International Airport. At the airport’s Main Arrival Hall, you will access car rental desks for Hertz, Avis, and Thrifty, among other car rentals. If you are near the city center, you can rent a car from Motive Rental. You can connect to the city center from Chania International Airport using public transport or a taxi before renting your car. It will take you about 40min at the Motive Rental office from Chania International Airport if you use taxi.
If you arrive in the city by train, you will be able to get your rental car from one of the Chania car rentals, which have their offices at all the major train stations in the city. Suppose you are arriving at The Little Fun Train Station Agia Marina, you will find Europcar and Thrifty are among the cheap car rentals in Chania you can consider.

It was great - once we figured out that Dollar is managed via Hertz at this airport. That info would have been useful in the confirmation email. But I asked a few nice people and we all figured it out. After that - pickup and drop off were simple and we had a great time.

Collection at airport was ok but we had to wait for the collection person as they had misunderstood our arrival time. We also had quite an old Audi A3 which was in good condition but had quite an old CD player and radio setup and no mod cons. Comfy though and staff were helpful and efficient.

They were terrible. We dropped the car off at 6:30 am to leave Crete and they were not open. No written instruction was given as to how to drop off the car. They are also located .75 mile from the airport and they had no shuttle so I had to walk (run) on a busy road to the airport to catch my flight.
