Crete Car Hire Information

All hire cars, for which we act as agents, be they part of our package, pre-booked from the UK or arranged through our Representatives in resort, are supplied by reliable companies with local offices so that assistance and support can be effectively provided should you need it. We work with two different local suppliers, Zakros Tours and South Crete Tours, so the availability of cars may depend on your choice of accommodation or your chosen itinerary, to ensure that the best local support can be provided. Please contact us for details.

The following groups and weekly prices apply to all pre-booked cars collected from the airport or selected accommodation. We regret that it is only possible to arrange car hire for less than a week's duration once you are in resort and local rates will then apply. 

Should you wish to upgrade a complimentary car included in your holiday price to a higher category, you simply pay the difference between the group included and the group you wish to substitute for it. These upgrades must be made before your travel documents are dispatched, or an administration fee will apply. If a change is made in resort local rates will apply.

We are unable to confirm a specific vehicle type and the models shown are for guidance only. All vehicles, with the exception of jeeps, are airconditioned. When selecting your vehicle group please bear in mind that luggage space is extremely limited in the smaller groups and in the jeeps and they are only insured for four people.

There is no limit to the number of drivers for each vehicle but all drivers must be over 23 years of age in Greece and 21 years age in Turkey and able to produce a full driving licence which they have held for at least a year.

Our car hire prices, and our complimentary cars, all include unlimited mileage, all local taxes, collision damage waiver and comprehensive insurance as specified by local laws. On the whole it is not possible to insure the tyres, windscreen and underneath of the car and if you damage any of these the necessary repairs will be at your own expense (exceptionally, our car hire suppliers in Crete include these items in their insurance and in Turkey they offer a top-up insurance to cover them). We strongly urge you to check the vehicle thoroughly on delivery, in the presence of the car hire agent, and drive with extreme caution on any uneven roads.
