Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Chania are: Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Peugeot 807 7 seater, Citroen Picasso, VW Kombi 8 Seater, Toyota Minibus and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Greece is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.
Please note, that in order to rent in Greece a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Chania.
Before leaving the parking garage in Chania, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

In many regions, road signs are installed very low or on special banners. It is possible to notice these road signs only if a car is moving at a low speed. Do not try to find signs, mounted on high poles, and large boards with information – there are almost no such signs on the roads of Greece.
Despite an unpredictable and aggressive nature of local drivers, there is nothing difficult in adapting to peculiarities of Greek roads. Every day, foreign drivers will feel more and more confident at the wheel, and their actions will become more resolute.
