Free deliveryNo depositNo credit cardUnlimited kilometresFull insurance

Where exactly do we meet?

We meet you at arrivals with the car. We agree the exact meeting point with you before you fly and send you the plate number, so you know who you are looking for the moment you walk out.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track it. That is why the booking form asks for your flight number: if you land three hours late, we are there three hours later. No fee, no phone calls, nothing to rearrange. Flights landing between 21:00 and 06:00 carry a small out-of-hours fee, always shown before you book.

How long does the handover take?

Only as long as it takes to look the car over together and sign. There is no counter to queue at because there is no counter — everything happens at the car.

What do I need to bring?

Your driving licence and your passport or ID. No credit card and no deposit are required. If your licence was issued outside the EU we accept it, though Greek law asks you to carry an International Driving Permit with it.

What is included in the price?

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.

Can I return the car somewhere else?

Yes. Anywhere in Heraklion — the airport, the port, or your hotel — costs nothing extra. A return at Chania Airport carries the same €80 as delivery there. Tell us the return point when you book so the car is expected where you leave it.

Can I rent a car at Heraklion Airport without a credit card?

Yes. You can rent a car from us at the terminal with no credit card and no deposit — your driving licence and your passport or ID are all we need. You pay when we hand you the keys, in cash or by card.

Is car hire at the airport more expensive than in town?

Not with us. Delivery to the terminal is free, so car hire at Heraklion Airport costs exactly what it costs anywhere else in Heraklion. There is no airport surcharge on our side, and the price you were quoted is the price you pay.

Heraklion Airport sits five minutes from the city centre and directly on the north coast road, so you are on your way within minutes of collecting the car. Knossos is 20 minutes away, Chersonissos 30, Rethymno an hour and a half.
