Can you deliver the car anywhere on the island?

We’re currently expanding our delivery zones! While we offer car delivery in North-West Crete at the moment, including Heraklion Airport, Heraklion Port, and hotels between Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos, we’re working on extending our reach across the island.

Check with us if you’re unsure about your location, and we’ll be happy to help!

What's your fuel policy?

We keep things simple! All our vehicles come with a full tank of gas upon pickup. Just return the car with the same amount of fuel in the tank, and you’re good to go!

Are there any mileage limitations?

Hit the road and explore freely! Unlike some rental companies, we offer unlimited mileage with no extra charges. Just focus on enjoying your Crete adventure.

The easiest way to pay is by cash, however you can pay by card through ours POS, online or by payment link.

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand plans can change! You can cancel your car rental free of charge as long as you notify us at least 48 hours before your pickup time.

Early notification is always appreciated, as it allows us to adjust our reservation schedule accordingly.

Is insurance included in my rental?

We offer comprehensive protection for your peace of mind!

While basic insurance is not included in the base rental rate, you can add our Premium Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for an additional €7 per day. This waiver minimizes your financial responsibility for any damage to the vehicle during your rental, as long as you follow our terms and conditions.

The good news is, for rentals exceeding 3 days, the total cost of the CDW becomes progressively more affordable!

We recommend adding the CDW for a stress-free driving experience in Crete.
