AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Automatic car rental in Crete

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 and book them on a first-come basis. No deposit, full insurance included, delivered to your hotel or the airport.

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.
  • One relaxed driver is safer than two tired ones swapping seats.
  • If your licence is automatic-only, this is not optional - tell us when you book.

Book early, genuinely

Automatics are the scarcest cars on the island in July and August, and the supply does not grow to meet demand. If your dates are in high season, ask as soon as you have flights: we will tell you straight away whether we have one for your dates rather than confirming and reshuffling you into a manual later.

What is included

  • No deposit and no credit-card block.
  • FCDW full insurance + WUG (tyres, car underside, glass, mirrors) at €0 excess.
  • Free delivery and collection in the Heraklion area, including the airport.
  • Child seats and an additional driver for a small fee, quoted before booking.
  • WhatsApp support in English, Estonian and Finnish throughout the rental.

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.

Starting prices are indicative and usually apply to longer rental periods. The final price depends on the dates, rental duration, pickup location, season and vehicle availability.

The longer the rental period, the lower the daily rate usually becomes.

You pay the confirmed total shown in your offer. No mandatory insurance or unexpected rental fees will be added at vehicle collection.

Optional extras such as additional drivers, child seats or special delivery arrangements are shown separately and priced before you confirm.

Longer rental, better daily rate

Advertised starting price

May exclude additional insurance or services.

Price at pickup

Can increase after optional coverage is added.

Frequently asked questions

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.
Does an automatic cost more in Crete?
Usually a little, because there are fewer of them. We quote the full price up front so you can compare it against a manual honestly.
Which automatic models do you have?
It varies by season - small city cars through to SUVs. Tell us your group size and dates and we will say exactly what is free.
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.
