View this category for Heraklion AirportThese tile prices are the cheapest daily rate in each class, same week as the deals. The lowest prices all need a credit card and a deposit of at least €650, and half of all offers here cost more than €43 a day.
These size prices compare Heraklion Airport rentals. Check each car’s details for the gearbox, seats and boot space you need.
Your voucher gives the meeting point and the company’s phone number, so follow it rather than any rental sign in the terminal.
Choose Heraklion Airport if you need the car on landing. Town delivery and office pickup are separate bookings.
Go to the meeting point on your voucher and ring the company’s number there if you cannot find it.
Keep your confirmation handy to call the right company. It gives the meeting point and their phone number.
Give a number with its country code that works from the day before pickup until the end of the hire. Heraklion town pickup means arranging your own transfer from the airport. Heraklion Airport, Chania Airport and a town address are different return places, so confirm yours.
Key facts about Heraklion Airport, where to park in town, and what to expect on the road once you collect your hire car.
In town, the port authority runs three controlled car parks by Heraklion port.
No, so check each one. The six featured Heraklion Airport cars need a credit card, but other airport offers are available.
For a credit booking, the main driver brings their own physical embossed card. Debit works only where the offer says so, with the same card rules.
No credit card does not mean cash. Check how to pay the balance, how any deposit is held and when it comes back, as this differs between cars.
Pay fifteen to twenty percent online and the rest at pickup; any deposit is extra. Compare no-deposit cars or cars without a credit card, keeping Heraklion Airport selected.
These clear-road times start at the airport; pickup, traffic and stops are extra. Use your actual address for the final stretch.
Rethymno’s Fortezza is 83.6 kilometres from Heraklion Airport, around ninety minutes by road. Chania is 152.4 kilometres away, about 2 h 45 min in clear traffic.
The Heraklion time ends at Lions Square and the Knossos time at the archaeological site. Your hotel may be a different drive, so check the address. Agios Nikolaos and Elounda also have delivery.
Roadworks on the north coast can slow you down, so allow extra time. For day trips later, plan from where you are staying, not the airport.
Get the exact return place and steps from the company before driving back to Heraklion Airport. Parking near the airport does not end the hire.
Follow the company’s return directions and leave time before your airline deadline.
Car park charges are separate from the rental and follow the car park’s own terms. Parking in town and at the port is a separate matter for car hire in Heraklion.
Return the car with the agreed fuel level; shortfalls are charged and extra fuel is not refunded. You pay for cleaning if dirt prevents inspection.
Some Heraklion Airport cars allow night pickups and returns, priced by car and time. Three featured compacts charge €40 each way at 01:00.
The same three cars have no time charge at 13:00. Enter your real pickup and return times when pricing, not midday as a placeholder.
An offer with no listed night fee can still cost more at a late hour. Compare the full total and check the company accepts the time.
Tell the company if your flight is delayed; they will not wait indefinitely. Agree a new handover time if needed and keep their number to hand.
Before an early flight, allow time for the return and getting to Departures. Ask how keys and inspection work at that hour; never just leave the car.
These night examples are for the featured cars, not opening hours for the airport or every company. Search with your real times and follow the company’s meeting steps.
Some cars go one way from Heraklion Airport to Chania Airport; others can end at a Rethymno address. Set the return place before comparing totals.

Confirm the return place and its full one-way price.
Heraklion Airport to the Chania Airport point is 160.7 km, about three hours in clear traffic, before handback and check-in. Other directions or town addresses differ. Get approval and a new price before changing the return place.
Each bar is the lowest daily price for a week-long hire from mid-month, picked up and returned at Heraklion Airport, from November 2026 to October 2027.
Your chosen dates, hours and extras determine the final quotation.
These are the lowest daily prices for airport hires, not rates for every car. Search your real dates and times before choosing a car size.
Town office prices are for a different pickup. If a later Heraklion pickup suits you, compare the whole plan, including your airport transfer.
The minimum charge is one rental day. Going past a full twenty-four hours can add another day, even for a few hours; agree any extension with the company in advance.
The featured cars offer child seats, and some also offer an extra driver. Check the equipment and driver options on your exact car before pickup.
Choose the child seat each child needs before pickup and ask how it is supplied. Check it fits before the first drive.
The rental agreement must list any extra driver before they drive. Check they meet the car’s minimum age and driving experience rules.
Only small pets may travel, in a carrier for the whole journey. Leave room for the carrier alongside passengers and luggage.
Check boot space with child seats fitted and everyone aboard, so you know it all fits before you drive away.
Compare the deposit and what you would pay for damage on your exact car. An upgrade lowers one or both on some cars, not others.
Some upgrades cut both. On some cars, Basic holds €800 and leaves €800 to pay for damage; Full Coverage lowers the deposit to €250 and the damage charge to zero.
Some cars have no upgrade. Some featured cars hold €800 and leave €1,000 or €1,300 to pay for damage, with no Full Coverage option.
Some upgrades change nothing. On other cars, Full Coverage leaves both the deposit and the damage charge at €900 or €1,580.
Limits remain. Damage to the interior, windscreen, wheels and underside is excluded. Vandalism, neglect and banned use void the cover, and no upgrade allows a ferry.
Report any insured incident to the company at once and get a police report, unless they agree another way. Missing a step voids whichever cover level you chose.
Check the driver rules and bring originals valid until the last day of hire. Bring your national licence; an International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended.
The company can refuse the car without the right documents.
Copies and electronic licences are not accepted; bring the original.
Pack the physical payment card with your licence, as the featured cars need a credit card.
Check each car’s rental requirements. Driver rules vary between similar models; there is no single minimum age at Heraklion Airport.
Wear seat belts, use child seats and use your phone hands-free only. At pickup, check for a first-aid kit, fire extinguisher and warning triangle.
Extra cover does not change the rental rules; you still need to follow the agreement.
Ask customer support about any ferry trip before you book. Permission must be agreed in advance, and the car cannot leave Greece.
Ferries sail from Heraklion port, but a sailing does not mean your hire car may board.
The port is about 4.3 km from the airport, around ten minutes on clear roads. Allow extra for pickup, finding the boarding area and ferry checks.
Keep to paved public roads; the gravel road towards Balos is off limits, even in an SUV. A one-way to another Cretan town is not permission to leave the island.
With the cancellation option, cancel up to twenty-four hours ahead. Otherwise standard cars need seven days, and luxury cars and convertibles thirty days.
Email support to cancel and attach your voucher. Refunds arrive within fourteen days, less six per cent.
A late change or cancellation, or missing pickup without notice, loses the advance. To change, cancel and rebook, so check the rules first if your flights move.
Yes, on some cars. Choose Chania Airport as the return place when you search; the one-way charge is already in each car’s total.
Not always. The featured night examples charge for a 01:00 return, and the total can change with either time. Enter both times before comparing.
Not always. On some cars, Full Coverage lowers the deposit to €250 and removes the damage charge, but you still pay that deposit.
No. Use the airport named in your booking. The new airport at Kastelli is still under construction.
Only if that return address is agreed for your car. Choose it when booking and confirm the meeting steps; driving there does not arrange a handback.
Choose your pickup and return times, then compare the full Heraklion Airport price, cover and payment rules for the car you need.
