We are based in Heraklion and drive the car across to Chania Airport for a flat €80. Everything else — no deposit, no credit card, full insurance — is exactly the same.
Because Chania is a 140 km drive from our base in Heraklion, and someone has to make that drive twice: once to bring you the car, once to collect it. The €80 covers both directions and is charged once, not per day.
Only if you also return it in Chania. Collect in Chania and drop off in Heraklion and you pay the fee once.
At the terminal, at the point we agree with you beforehand. As in Heraklion we send the plate number in advance and we track your flight.
If your plans are flexible, yes — delivery in Heraklion is free. But if Chania is where your flight lands, €80 once is usually less than a taxi transfer for a family plus luggage.
Unlimited kilometres, full insurance with zero excess for drivers aged 27 and over (under 27: €10 a day), VAT, and a second driver at no extra cost. Child seats are free. There is no deposit and no credit card is required — you pay when you collect the car, cash or card, and the price you were quoted is the price you pay.
The main driver must be 21 or over; drivers aged 18 to 20 can rent with a young-driver fee shown before you book. Bring your driving licence and your passport or ID card. Licences issued outside the EU are accepted, though Greek law asks you to carry an International Driving Permit alongside them.
Yes, and most people do. You rent a car from us at Chania, drive it wherever you like, and leave it at Heraklion Airport, the port or your hotel in Heraklion at no extra cost — only the delivery to Chania is charged.
The car costs the same as everywhere else — from €35 a day with full insurance and unlimited kilometres — plus €80 to bring it to Chania Airport. Car hire there is only worth it if you are actually flying into Chania; from Heraklion the delivery is free.
Chania Airport is on the Akrotiri peninsula, 15 minutes from Chania old town and about 25 from the beaches at Stavros. Elafonisi is roughly two hours west, Balos a little under two.
