Editorial · Sixt · Heraklion Airport

Heraklion Airport Sixt — efficient for a Greek island hub

Paperwork was quicker than expected for mid-July. VW Golf had decent AC which you need in Crete. Deposit €800, released in 5 days after return.

Editorial · Centauro · Heraklion Airport

Heraklion Airport Centauro — budget option with realistic expectations

Queue was 35 minutes in peak season but the Fiat 500 was clean and ran perfectly for our week in western Crete. Full-to-full fuel, no hidden charges.

Editorial · Hertz · Heraklion Airport

Heraklion Airport Hertz — premium price for premium peace of mind

Skip-the-line pickup worth the extra €15/day. Staff highlighted Knossos turnoff unprompted. Car was a nearly new Peugeot 308 with zero issues.

Editorial · Green Motion · Heraklion Airport

Heraklion Airport Green Motion — hybrid made sense for island driving

Toyota Yaris Hybrid was perfect for Crete's mix of highways and mountain switchbacks. Fuel savings of roughly €40 over the week. Pickup took 20 minutes.

Editorial · Goldcar · Heraklion Airport

Heraklion Airport Goldcar — cheap if you've got all day

Rate was unbeatable but shuttle plus 50-minute queue tested our patience. Car had scratches everywhere, all documented. Budget double the time you think you need.

Editorial · Enterprise · Heraklion Airport

Heraklion Airport Enterprise — family road trip approved

Staff suggested skipping the north toll road for the scenic national road — great local tip. Skoda Kamiq had plenty of boot space for four suitcases.
