Tips to Hire a Car in Heraklion

  • The minimum age to rent a car in Heraklion is 21 years. However, this may vary from supplier to supplier. A Young Driver Surcharge may also be levied on renters belonging to a certain age group. To read all the related information, refer to the Rental Terms of your preferred supplier.
  • The best time to visit Heraklion is late May through early June and September through early October. If you are visiting during this season, book your deal at least 2-3 weeks before to get the cheapest Heraklion car rental. This is because deals are comparatively cheaper when booked earlier than those that are reserved closer to the pick-up date.
  • If you are looking for luxury Heraklion car rentals and wish to book the same model that is shown on the website, look for deals that come with 'guaranteed model’ tags. Generally, deals come with 'or similar’ tags which means car specifications are guaranteed rather than the model.
  • When you go to pick up your rental car in Heraklion, the supplier may ask you for a credit card in the main driver’s name to hold a refundable security deposit. Ensure that you carry a valid one along with other documents that are mentioned in your Rental Confirmation Voucher.
