KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Soúda

  • Car hire in Souda provides you with a unique blend of convenience, flexibility and the opportunity to explore at your own pace. This is particularly beneficial in a place where public transportation can sometimes be limited or unreliable and there's so much to see and do. For example, you could drive to the archaeologically fascinating Aptera. With a rich history dating back to the Minoan period, Aptera offers Roman cisterns, ancient theatres and the ruins of ancient temples. Opting for car hire in Souda will give you much better access to the hard-to-reach south side of the island, including the Samaria Gorge. This majestic national park, located in the southwestern part of Crete, is one of the longest gorges in Europe, offering breathtaking vistas and unique Cretan flora and fauna.
  • If you’re landing at Chania Airport (CHQ), you’ll find Souda car hire desks in the arrivals hall. If you have any trouble finding them, don't hesitate to ask the airport staff. To hire a car, you will need to present your driving licence, passport and a credit/debit card for the security deposit. Visitors from outside the European Union may also be required to have an International Driving Permit (IDP), so it's advisable to check this requirement beforehand. Once the necessary paperwork is completed, you will be directed to the designated area to pick up your hire car.
  • Driving on the island of Crete, including in Souda, can be an adventure, to say the least. Cretan drivers are known to be somewhat assertive and flexible with road rules, and the quality of the roads can vary greatly. The major highways, like the national road that runs along the north coast of the island, are generally in good condition. However, once you leave the main roads, conditions can quickly become more challenging. Some roads in the mountains or leading to remote villages or beaches can be narrow, winding, steep and even unpaved.
  • Using car hire in Souda, it's not uncommon to see locals overtaking on narrow mountain roads or in areas where you might not expect it. As such, it’s best to stay alert at all times. Navigation on Crete can present hurdles even for experienced tourists. Though signs are usually in both Greek and Latin script, they can sometimes be unclear, especially on smaller roads. Having a navigation app on hand can be helpful.
  • Book your rental car in Soúda at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Souda?

    If you're primarily exploring the cities and towns, a small car is a good choice. However, if you plan to venture off the beaten path or explore the mountainous regions of the island, an SUV or a car with a higher ground clearance might be more suitable. The roads in some remote or rural parts of Crete can be challenging, with steep inclines, sharp turns and sometimes uneven or unpaved surfaces. If you’re not experienced in driving a manual car, perhaps ask for an automatic when booking. Crete’s hills and winding roads can be daunting for those without sufficient experience. Regardless of the car type you choose, make sure your Souda hire car has air conditioning. The Mediterranean climate can get very hot, especially in the summer.

  • What’s the speed limit in Souda?

    In Greece, speed limits follow a standard structure based on the type of road and location. Generally, the speed limit is set to 50 km/h (30 mph) within built-up areas. This limit applies to cities, towns and other populated regions. When you move outside these built-up areas, the speed limit typically increases to 90 km/h (55 mph). Meanwhile, on expressways like the national road running along the northern coast of Crete, the speed limit is typically 110 km/h (68 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Souda?

    Like most Greek towns, you can find street parking available for your hire car in Souda. Generally, street parking is free on Crete, but it's important to check before leaving your car. There may be areas that require a permit, have time limitations or are reserved exclusively for residents. There is also free parking to be found near the port, which is ideal if you’re looking to explore the waterfront.
