Car Rental at Souda Port - Chania

Car rental at Souda Port (Chania) is a convenient way to start exploring western Crete as soon as you arrive by ferry. Pick up your car near the port and set off to discover Chania, picturesque beaches, mountain villages and the island's popular resorts at your own pace. Our catalogue features vehicles in different categories and three rental packages, from budget-friendly options to enhanced protection with zero excess.

Choose a car with unlimited mileage and transparent rental conditions, so you can explore Chania and the rest of Crete freely, without relying on bus schedules. Convenient payment options are available, with a small prepayment when booking and the remaining balance due when you collect the car. If needed, you can also arrange a one-way rental and return the vehicle at another location on the island.

When booking a car at Chania Port, you don't need to pay the full rental amount in advance. Simply choose a suitable vehicle from our catalogue and make a small prepayment to confirm your booking. You will pay the remaining balance when you collect the car at the port office.

You only pay 7–10% of the total rental price online, with the balance due when the car is handed over to you. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before the rental starts and receive a full refund of your prepayment. For cancellations made less than 48 hours before the rental starts, only the prepayment is non-refundable, and you won't have to pay the remaining rental amount.

When renting a car at Souda Port, you can choose from three protection packages, depending on the level of cover you want and your budget. Our catalogue includes options ranging from basic Comfort protection to the enhanced Super package with zero excess, available for selected vehicles.

The details of each vehicle show the rental price with your chosen package, the cover conditions and the deposit amount in advance. Comfort and Premium have their own excess and deposit conditions, while Super provides full cover with zero excess and a minimum deposit. Rentaholiday does not sell third-party insurance policies: you select your package directly as part of the car rental offer, and the terms shown correspond to your chosen pick-up location in Chania. This means you know in advance what level of cover and deposit to expect, with no unpleasant surprises when collecting your car.

If you arrive in Crete by ferry, you can collect your rental car just 100 metres from the entrance to Souda Port. The port office is very close by, so there is no need to travel into Chania city centre or arrange additional transport. It's a convenient option if you want to continue your journey by car as soon as you arrive on the island.

Choose a suitable vehicle from our catalogue in advance and select a pick-up time that matches your ferry schedule. With your own car, you can easily reach your hotel, head to Chania city centre or start exploring western Crete straight away. The beaches of Balos and Elafonissi, picturesque villages and mountain roads are all much easier to discover when you have a car at your disposal.
