Car Rental at Chania Airport

Car rental at Chania Airport is a convenient way to start exploring Crete as soon as you arrive. You can collect your car near the terminal and plan your own itinerary, from the beaches of the west coast to mountain villages and the island’s popular resorts. When booking online, choose a vehicle that suits your needs and the protection option you prefer, including the Super package with zero excess for selected models.

Our listings include offers with unlimited mileage and transparent payment terms: a small prepayment when booking, with the remaining balance payable when you collect the car. The office is located close to the airport terminal: after leaving the terminal, walk to the car rental parking area. Pick-up and drop-off are available 24/7 if you specify your times in your online booking in advance. You can also arrange a one-way rental and return the car in another town in Crete, such as Heraklion or Chania city centre, if the selected route is available. If you cancel in advance, your prepayment will be fully refunded in accordance with the free cancellation terms.

When booking a car at Chania Airport, you don't have to pay the full rental cost in advance. Choose the vehicle that suits your needs online and make a small prepayment to confirm your booking. You can pay the remaining balance when you collect the car.

To confirm your booking, you only need to pay a small portion of the total rental cost online. The remaining balance is payable when you collect the car. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge 48 hours or more 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 cost.

When booking a car at Chania Airport, you can choose from three protection packages, depending on the level of cover you want and your budget. Options range from basic protection to the extended Super package with zero excess, available for selected vehicles.

The details of each car show the price of the selected package, coverage terms and 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 the options and choose the one that suits you before completing your booking. Rentaholiday does not sell third-party insurance — you select your protection level directly from the car rental offer.
