Most rental cars in Greece are manual, and automatics are the first category to sell out - usually months before the summer. If you only drive an automatic at home, Crete is not the place to relearn a clutch: the island is built on hairpins, steep village lanes and hill starts with a queue behind you.
We keep automatics in the fleet across several classes. Request one below with the gearbox already set to automatic - availability is checked personally and confirmed in your offer.
Automatic cars start from a guide price of €70 per day. Larger automatics such as SUVs and crossovers start from €90 per day, and 7-9 seaters from €100 per day. These are guide prices only - the exact price depends on your dates, length of rental and the car, and is confirmed in your quote before you commit to anything.
Price includes FCDW full insurance + WUG (tyres, underside, glass, mirrors) at €0 excess.
No deposit and no credit-card block.
Unlimited kilometres.
Additional driver €4 per day; child seats for a small fee.
Drivers under 21 are welcome - a small young-driver surcharge applies.
Pickup points
Heraklion Airport - a representative meets you at the agreed meeting point with a name sign; your flight is monitored if it is delayed.
Heraklion Port - we meet the ferry at the agreed meeting point.
Your hotel or apartment in the Heraklion area and the coast from Hersonissos to Malia.
Delivery is included; any airport or port charge is confirmed in your offer in advance.
Minimum rental period from Heraklion Airport is 3 days.
Why an automatic makes sense here
Mountain roads mean constant gear changes - an automatic removes most of the fatigue.
Hill starts on narrow village streets are far less stressful.
Traffic on the Heraklion ring road and the resort strips is stop-start in summer.
If your licence is automatic-only, this is not optional - tell us when you book.
How booking works
Fill in the request below - the gearbox is already set to automatic.
We check availability personally and send you a concrete offer.
You confirm only when you are happy with the car and price.
Pay in cash or by card at handover - no deposit.
Book early, genuinely
Automatics are the scarcest cars on the island in July and August. If your dates are in high season, ask as soon as you have flights: we tell you straight away whether we have one for your dates rather than confirming and switching you into a manual later.
Insurance and conditions
Every MyCrete car comes with FCDW full insurance plus WUG cover - tyres, the car's underside, glass and mirrors - at €0 excess. There is no upsell at handover, because there is no better package to sell you. We send the fuel policy, driver age rule and the full terms in writing before you confirm anything. An EU driving licence is enough. Insurance is void off-road, including the gravel track to Balos.
Before requesting your rental
Bring your original, valid physical driving licence and passport or ID card. Copies and phone photos are not accepted. Pay at handover by card, bank transfer or cash in euros; there is no deposit or prepayment.
An additional driver costs €4/day and must be named in the agreement. Child seats carry a small extra fee; include each child's age in your enquiry. Return the car with the same fuel level as at handover.
FCDW and WUG provide €0 excess for covered damage, not unlimited protection. Off-asphalt driving, an unregistered driver and driving under alcohol or drugs invalidate cover. Interior damage is covered only when caused by an accident. Reckless use and other breaches can leave you responsible for repair costs.
Planning a 2027 trip? Send your dates and preferred vehicle category. I will check availability and confirm the total and terms separately — an enquiry is not a confirmed booking.
Answer a few quick questions. We will personally check actual availability and send you the final all-inclusive total price. Sending an enquiry does not create a booking or payment obligation.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an automatic car cost in Crete?
Our guide price for an automatic starts from €70 per day, with full insurance and no deposit. The exact price is confirmed in your quote.
Can I pick up an automatic at Heraklion Airport?
Yes. A representative meets you at the agreed meeting point with a name sign. The minimum rental from Heraklion Airport is 3 days.
How far in advance should I book an automatic?
For July and August, as soon as your flights are booked. Automatics are the first cars to go on the whole island.
My licence is automatic-only. Is that a problem?
Not at all, just tell us when you book so we reserve the right car. Driving a manual on an automatic-only licence would invalidate the insurance.
