Speed Wheel - Rent a Car

Speed Wheel rent a car in Platanias  Speedwheel welcomes you to our car rental service for the Platanias Chania, Chania and Reythmon area on the northwest coast of Crete. We provide a high quality, all-inclusive professional car rental service. Cars can be rented for a short or longer period of time. We have an extensive fleet of over 300 cars of different types. For more than 25 years we have been the local partner for TUI. Speedwheel was founded by Terry Dagounakis in 1984. Today his two daughters Katerina and Vivian have now taken over the operation of the company. Their ambition is to remain the leading company in the Platanias Chania area (northwestern coast of Crete) within the car rental industry.   Full Coverage Insurance  - the affordable way to deal with the unexpected when you rent a car   Renting a car most of the times means driving a car you’re not familiar with, in unfamiliar places, maybe on narrow country roads with signs in a foreign language. Parking may be difficult and dealing with local driving habits can be challenging.   In most other car rental companies If you have an accident and the car is damaged your rental agreement will cover the full cost minus a cost called excess mentioned in your car rental policy. In this case you will be liable to pay this excess amount, which in many cases could be more than the amount you’ve paid for renting the car. This can ruin your trip and make you wish you hadn’t spared the few extra euros when you were booking the car. But not with Speed Wheel! In our prices full coverage means you are fully covered in case of an accident as long as you drive by the Greek low(not speeding, not drinking and driving etc.). Lost or destroyed keys and destroyed tires are not covered by any insurance . No insurance covers under the car so you need to stay in good asphalt streets, not off road.   Today Speedwheel has 18 employees and approx. 300 cars. Our prices are competitive and 100% all-inclusive. No hidden fees or extra charges either at the time of rental or due to accidents. Full insurance is mandatory for our clients. For more than 20 years we have been the local partner for TUI Nordic, TUI UK, TUI BELG and TUI HOLL on Crete. Reserve a car through Destination Platanias by email or visit one of our offices in Platanias, Chania, Agii Apostoloi or Rethymnon and talk to one of our multilingual employees.   We will find a car for you!
