KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Platanias

  • Renting a car from one of the top car rentals in Platanias is a decision you won't regret if you want to tour this Greek village extensively. With a rental car, you'll have total independence for your trip. This means you'll be able to travel anywhere you want across the city directly, swiftly, and comfortably at whatever time works best for you. You'll also easily reach towns neighboring the city, notably Sfakia, Kissamos, Kalyves, Epanochori, and Vryses.
  • The nearest airport to Platanias is Chania International Airport (CHQ). At this airport, located near Souda Bay on the Akrotiri Peninsula, there are several Platanias car rentals you can rent from. They include Avance, Trust, Avis, Hertz, Budget, and Sixt. The offices for these agencies are in the airport's arrivals area, while the pickup lot is a short walk from the terminal. Hence, you won't need ground transportation to get to either.
  • To achieve a smooth driving experience in Platanias, drive carefully since some mountain roads are not in the best condition, and you may note that a few road signs are also hard to read. You should keep an eye out for animals, primarily goats, that roam the countryside. These animals sometimes make their way onto the roads, creating a hazard. Also, note that local drivers are known to overtake cars at high speeds without alerting the driver ahead of them.
  • If you rent a car from one of the leading car rentals in Platanias, you need not worry about facing traffic jams unless you hire a vehicle during Summer, June through August. If you rent a car in any of these months, expect slight traffic on many roads leading to major tourist attractions.
  • Mini hire cars in Platanias are around 78% cheaper than other car types, on average

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

    Car rentals in Platanias offer a wide range of models, including mini, economy, compact, sedan, luxury, minivan, pickup truck, and SUV rentals. The rental car you settle on should be large enough to accommodate you, the person (s) you are traveling with, and your luggage. If you plan on using the vehicle alone or with another individual and are on a budget, consider leasing a mini or economy rental. On the other hand, if you intend to use the vehicle with up to four other individuals, rent a sizeable sedan or minivan. Your rental car should also be easily drivable to the destinations you intend to visit. Most of the roads within the urban parts of the village are tarmacked, but a good number of the roads outside it are dirt and gravel made. In case you intend to visit destinations served by dirt or gravel roads, consider renting an SUV. With one, you won't worry about getting stuck while on your way.

  • What's the speed limit in Platanias?

    Speed limits in Platanias vary. They're usually stated on easily visible signs planted along the streets. In this city, unless otherwise posted, you must not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) when driving in a built-up area and 90 km/h (56 mph) while on the highway connecting it to other Greek villages. Local police have speed trap detectors on several of the roads in the city. This being the case, if you'd like to avoid altercations with authorities and unnecessary fines, don't speed.

  • Where are the best places to park in Platanias?

    In Platanias, parking is permitted along most of the city streets. Although these parking spots are free, they're usually difficult to find vacant, especially within the city center. If you don't find street parking within the city center, you can leave your car in a paid parking lot, such as Paid Parking Olea, addressed at PEO Kissamou Chanion 236. Different parking lots have varying rates. Averagely, they charge 1€ ($1.10) for an hour of parking.
