Specifications
The Corsa is one of the two cheapest cars we rent and the one most people should take for a first trip to Crete. Ninety horsepower is plenty on an island where the speed limit rarely goes above 90 km/h, and the short body is what you will be grateful for in the Venetian lanes of Rethymno and the multi-storey car parks in Heraklion.
A small hatchback is the easiest car to live with in Crete. The old quarters of Chania and Rethymno are a grid of lanes barely wider than a car, village streets in the mountains were laid out for donkeys, and parking in Heraklion is genuinely tight — all of which a compact car shrugs off. It is also the cheapest to run on the long west-coast drives, where you will cover 300 km in a day without noticing.
It has a manual gearbox, which keeps the daily rate down and gives you more control on the long descents — useful on the mountain roads, where engine braking saves your brakes on the way back down from Omalos or Anogia.
