CAR RENTAL IN HERSONISSOS

Car Rental in Hersonissos, Crete

Hersonissos - Chersonissos on many hotel bookings, Limenas Hersonissou on the road signs - is the busiest resort strip on the north coast, and the area we deliver cars to most often. Hotels line the coast, the harbour is full of tavernas, and the old villages sit on the hillside just above.

We bring the car to your hotel or apartment in Hersonissos, Anissaras, Analipsi, Piskopiano, Koutouloufari or Old Hersonissos, hand it over in person and collect it at the end. Full insurance at €0 excess, no security deposit, no credit-card hold and one clear final price.

Why rent a car in Hersonissos

  • Free delivery to your hotel or apartment door, no depot visit.
  • The old villages above the resort - Koutouloufari, Piskopiano, Old Hersonissos - need a car or a taxi.
  • Lasithi plateau, Malia palace and Agios Nikolaos are all comfortable half-day drives.
  • Beaches beyond the main strip get much quieter within 15 minutes of driving.
  • No deposit and €0 excess insurance, so the holiday budget stays predictable.

Driving and parking here

The main coastal street is slow in the evening and street parking near the harbour disappears by 19:00. Park on the streets above the main road and walk down, or use the beach-end car parks. The climb to Koutouloufari and Piskopiano is short but narrow - a small car is genuinely easier. For the Lasithi plateau take the road via Krasi and Kera, allow 50 minutes each way, and expect a queue of tour buses at the Kera monastery in the morning.

Day trips from Hersonissos

  • Lasithi plateau and the Dikteon cave - 50 minutes of switchbacks and windmills.
  • Agios Nikolaos and Elounda - 40 to 55 minutes east along the national road.
  • Knossos - 30 minutes west, best before 10:00.
  • Mochlos and the east-coast fishing villages - 1h15, worth the drive for lunch.
  • Malia palace - 15 minutes, far calmer than the town it shares a name with.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver the car to my Hersonissos hotel?
Yes. We bring the car to your hotel or apartment, do the handover there and collect it from the same place at the end of the rental.
How far is Hersonissos from Heraklion airport?
About 25 minutes by car on the national road. If you would rather start driving straight away, we can hand the car over at the airport instead.
Which car suits Hersonissos?
A small or compact car. The village streets above the resort are narrow and parking is tight; you only need something bigger if you are four adults with luggage.
Is a deposit required?
No. No deposit, no card block, and the price already includes FCDW full insurance with WUG cover at €0 excess.
