NO CREDIT CARD

Rent a car in Crete without a credit card

Most rental companies ask for a credit card in the driver's name and block a deposit on it before handing over the keys. We block nothing.

What we do not ask you for

How and when you pay

Car hire without a credit card works here exactly like any other rental: you pay when you collect the car — cash or debit card. If you would rather settle it beforehand you can pay online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay; that is a choice, not a requirement. The price you saw when booking is the price you pay.

And if the car is damaged?

Every rental includes insurance with a €1,200 excess. Nothing is blocked or held for it at pickup, and the amount is charged only if the car is damaged — if something happens, we talk about it the way two people would. Drivers under 27 can upgrade to full cover with no excess for €10 a day.

Why we can do this

We are a small family business with 15 cars, not a chain with a call centre. We know every car and meet every customer ourselves. The card hold exists to protect companies that have no idea who they are handing a car to.
