Traveling to Crete for Christmas? Rent a car and get ready for unlimited road trips!
Crete is the biggest island in Greece and a perfect Christmas destination for you and your family. If you are traveling to Crete for Christmas this year, you may want to rent a car and enjoy unlimited road trips through the beautiful natural landscapes and through the traditional small villages that celebrate the Christmas season in their own, unique way.
Top 10 reasons why you should rent a car in Crete this Christmas
Renting a car in Crete is always the best option in order to run on your own schedule, be flexible and enjoy the luxury interior of your own car while traveling on low-temperature days of December. These are the top 10 reasons why should rent a car in Crete for Christmas vacations:
-
Run-on your own schedule
By driving your own rental car, you can run on your own schedule, visit the destinations you desire any time you want, make unlimited stops to take pictures and enjoy traditional food and avoid the restrictions from public transportation schedules and routes.
-
Save money
Sometimes, renting your own car in Crete is the cheapest option. If, for example, your family has many members and you need to travel to a destination at a time when there are no public transportation routes, a taxi or transfer may cost you a lot of money. If you need to use transfer services more than once (from/to the airport etc.) this will cost you more than renting a car in Crete.
-
Protect your family from Covid
A car rental is sterilized and used only by you and your loved ones during your holidays. You can also store your sanitiser wipes and masks and have them always with you.
-
Visit remote locations
Christmas in Crete is a festive season, and every village has its own traditions. Some villages are really difficult to reach through public transportation because you may have to change two or more buses to get there. When having your own car you can just pick a location and get there at your own convenience.
-
Save time
Don’t wait for the bus to come, do not leave early to catch the last bus, make routes shorter and a lot more fun.
-
Store your luggage
When you have kids, space is very important to store all their stuff, their jackets, their snacks, and everything they might need during a long road trip in Crete. By renting a car in Crete, you will always feel at home!
-
Create memories for your family
Rent a fancy car with all the extras that will make your trip an amazing experience for you and your family! Create a story that you will share with your loved ones, drive to the most iconic roads of Crete and take pictures to decorate your home with. Traveling time is quality time to play games, laugh, discuss and bond with your loved ones.
-
Enjoy car rental extras
Choose an SUV with air-conditioning, GPS, LCD displays for your kids to watch movies on the road, and leather seats for a comfortable driving experience. Your car rental will be the perfect environment to spend vacation time and feel at home!
-
Get a new driving experience
For a car enthusiast, renting a car is an opportunity for a new driving experience. Rent the car you always wanted to drive and feel the adrenaline of driving through the roads of Crete by the seaside or on the mountains with an amazing view of the island’s coastline.
