⭐ Super package with zero excess • Pick-up in the city centre, at the airport and at the port • No full prepayment
We rented a car from a place in Chania just a short walk from our hotel. It was much easier than going all the way to the airport to pick it up. We later found out that we could drop the car off at Chania Airport before our flight home, which worked out perfectly. Saved us some time and made the last day of our holiday much easier. Everything went smoothly.

We collected the car in Chania and dropped it off in Heraklion before flying home. Honestly, so convenient! Saved us a long drive back just to return the car. The whole one-way rental was sorted without any hassle, and the return was quick and easy. Made our Crete road trip much more relaxed.

Great experience overall. We booked a rental car at Chania Airport before arriving, and everything went pretty smoothly. The price was clear from the start, no awkward extras pushed on us, and the car was clean and reliable. Support was also quick to reply when I had a small question. Happy days, would use Rentaholiday again next time we're in Crete.

Car rental in Chania is a convenient way to explore the western part of Crete and plan your own trips around the island. Choose a car for coastal holidays, trips to famous beaches, mountain villages and small resorts. Our catalogue features different car categories and protection options, including the Super package with zero excess for selected models.
Among our offers, you’ll find cars with unlimited mileage and transparent payment conditions: a small prepayment when booking, with the remaining balance paid when you collect the car. You can choose a convenient pick-up location: in Chania city centre, at the airport or at Souda Port. This is especially convenient if you arrive in Crete by plane or ferry. One-way rentals with drop-off at a different location, such as Heraklion, are also available on selected routes. If you cancel your booking within the permitted time frame, your prepayment will be fully refunded under the free cancellation terms.
When booking a car in Chania, you don’t have to pay the full rental amount in advance. Choose a suitable model from our catalogue and make a small prepayment to confirm your booking. You’ll pay the remaining balance when you collect the car at your chosen location — in the city centre, at the airport or at Souda Port.
To confirm your booking, you only need to pay 7–10% of the total rental cost online. The remaining balance is payable when the car is handed over. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge at least 48 hours before the rental starts and receive a full refund of your prepayment. If you cancel later, only the prepayment is non-refundable — you won’t have to pay the full rental amount.
When booking a car in Chania, you can choose one of three protection packages, depending on the level of cover you need and your budget. Our catalogue features different options, from basic protection to the enhanced Super package with zero excess for vehicles where it is available.
The details of each car show the price of the selected package, the coverage conditions and the deposit amount in advance. Comfort and Premium have their own excess and deposit conditions. The Super package provides full coverage with zero excess and a minimum deposit. You can review all the terms, compare offers and choose the right option before completing your booking. Rentaholiday does not sell third-party insurance policies — you choose your level of protection directly from the car rental offer.
