Chania

Planning a trip to Chania might feel overwhelming with its endless options – from the old Venetian harbor to the breathtaking beaches and hidden mountain villages. The real trick is fitting it all in, especially if you want to skip the crowds and explore the island like a local. That’s when having a Sync rental car becomes a game-changer. You can pick it up straight from the airport and head off without delays, ready to start your journey.

Driving in Crete feels like unlocking secret spots. One day you might be at Seitan Limania’s turquoise waters, and the next in a mountain village savoring local dishes at a taverna. With Sync, these aren’t just dreams – they’re your plans. You can visit Balos and Elafonissi on your own schedule, beat the crowds, and catch the perfect beach moments without the rush.

In the evenings, Sync lets you discover local dining gems far beyond the city center. From family-run tavernas in the countryside to seafood feasts by the harbor, having your own car means you’re not stuck with the typical tourist spots. Plus, a Sync rental comes with flexible options like GPS, eco-friendly models, and even delivery to your hotel.

When you think back on your trip to Chania, it’s the freedom to explore at your own pace that you’ll remember. Instead of following rigid itineraries or tour groups, you’ll have the flexibility to create your own adventures. And with Sync, your journey will be as smooth as the Cretan coastline.

Can the vehicle be delivered to my door?

Yes, the Sync Hosts typically offer delivery to travel destinations such as airports, train stations and hotels, or even to your hotel or home. Cars are available through Sync at convenient places near hundreds of locations in the city. Skip the lines at the rental desk and pick up your car at your hotel, residence or a nearby location to save time and hassle on your weekend or family vacation. Some Providers offer free delivery, while others charge their own delivery fee.

Can I get discounts when renting?

Many Hosts on Sync offer discounted rates for weekly and monthly bookings, as well as "early bird" discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. Secure the best deals and lowest prices, from cars to SUVs, by making longer bookings at least a week in advance.

Occasionally, Sync may also send you promotional codes, discounts, and offers!

Can others drive the vehicle I booked?

Yes, other drivers can drive the car you book through Sync, as long as they have been approved for driving. The primary driver (the person who made the booking) can add additional drivers without any fees or extra costs. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers - Sync Hosts cannot do this for you. We recommend requesting additional drivers before your trip begins.
