Heraklion is where most Crete holidays begin: the airport, the port, the museum and the road to Knossos are all within a few kilometres of each other. It is also the easiest place in Crete to pick up a rental car - as long as you are not queueing at a chain desk with a card deposit hanging over you.
MyCrete delivers your car anywhere in the Heraklion area, with any cost shown in your offer - hotel, apartment, port or airport - with insurance already in the price and no credit-card block.
The city centre is dense, one-way and best left on foot - park in one of the paid car parks near the old harbour or on the ring road and walk in. Outside the centre the E75 national road runs east and west and makes day trips easy: Knossos is 10 minutes away, Hersonissos 25, Agios Nikolaos an hour, Rethymno an hour and fifteen. Fuel stations along the E75 are plentiful; in the mountain villages south of the city they are not, so fill up before you climb.
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.
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.

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.
The daily rate usually becomes lower when you rent for a longer period. Enter your dates and we will prepare a personalised offer with the final total price.
One clear final price – no surprises when you receive the car.
Some rental companies advertise a very low starting price, but insurance upgrades, excess reduction, deposits and additional coverage may increase the final amount. With MyCrete, you receive a clearly explained total offer before confirming.
Advertised starting price
May exclude additional insurance or services.
Price at pickup
Can increase after optional coverage is added.
MyCrete total offer
Insurance conditions, deposit and final price are explained before confirmation.
