Renting a vehicle is convenient for going on a trip to Crete over the weekend or over a couple of days. However, choosing the right rental car as you go there might be a bit tricky, especially if you' re not armed with experience that seasoned car renters already have. To compensate, here are some things to remember.

1. Go online. Many companies offer special rates or discounts to Crete-headed customers who make car reservation over the internet. If you have a travel agent, ask him or her to get the best agency that can provide you with the right car that would help you see the best of Crete. Car rental companies differ in terms of specialty; some have a large supply of compact, economical cars while others have sports cars and sedans.

2. Reserve. You will be accommodated by many agencies if you just walk in without phoning in an appointment or reservation, but the chances are you will not get the best car that will suit your needs. Reserve early so that you can have more choices. Additionally, for tall people, remember to ask for vehicles that can accommodate your height.

3. Arrange for pick-up and return. Many Crete rental car agencies offer the option of picking up the customer at a designated time. However, if you choose to personally pick up the car, make sure that you and the agency are clear about pick-up and return schedules so that you won't be billed for extra hours.

4. Consider the distance. Crete car rental companies can offer unlimited mileage or mileage caps. If you' re going on a short trip, you may be able to save money by choosing the mileage cap option. You will be given a maximum number of miles to consume, usually around 150. If you anticipate more traveling and destinations though, the unlimited mileage service will be best.

5. Consider the people. There are some rental car agencies in Crete that often charge extra for additional drivers aside from you. In addition, if the additional driver is under 21 years of age, you may be asked to pay more.

6. Be responsible. Car rental agencies are also looking out for their business. You will not be able to rent a car if you can't present a credit card or a driver's license. In addition, you will be barred from renting a car if they find you unfit to drive. Car rental agreements often have clauses that cover the company in case of accidents. You may face criminal charges if they find out that you are driving the rented vehicle while you are intoxicated or you have had drugs. You will be made liable for parking and traffic violations that you may get while driving the car. Thus, read through the contract very carefully and drive safely.

7. Weekly is better than daily. Often, car rental agencies offer lower rates for those who rent a car for a whole week rather than for just five days.
