Detailed FAQ on the rental process

Driving Advices for Greece – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities

There are no self-service petrol stations in Crete. Driver simply needs to move to the specified place and inform a petrol station worker about the required type of petrol. It is also worth considering that the majority of gas stations accept payments only in cash. Credit cards will be handy in large cities only.

In case of an accident or a breakdown drivers should not rely on special «SOS» phones, which are located along roads in some countries. It is possible to call for help only by a cell phone: 112 – emergency help, 104 and 154 - travel companies, 100 - police, 174 – 24/7 assistance for foreign drivers.

Car drivers should not forget to treat drivers of mopeds with greater attention. Local moped drivers have one very bad habit - they often overtake other vehicles on the right. Even if there is enough space for overtaking on the left, a moped driver will still do everything possible to overtake a car on the right.
