Almost every rental quote you compare online in Crete is a basic CDW policy: the excess is €700-1200, and tyres, the car's underside, glass and mirrors - the four things that actually get damaged here - are excluded outright. The waiver that removes all of that is sold at the desk, on the morning you arrive, at a price you had no chance to compare.
Our quote is the other way round. FCDW full insurance plus WUG cover is already in the daily rate at €0 excess, and there is no better package to be sold at handover because we do not have one.
Body damage and collision damage at €0 excess - no first €700 to argue about.
Tyres and wheels, including the puncture you pick up on a village road.
The car's underside - the most common damage on Cretan asphalt and steep hotel ramps.
Glass: windscreen, side windows and the rear screen.
Mirrors, which is what narrow old-town lanes take off first.
Theft cover and 24/7 roadside assistance anywhere on the island.
Why 'full insurance' means something different at the airport desk
In Greece the standard product is CDW with a high excess and a written exclusion list covering tyres, undercarriage, glass and mirrors. That is why counter staff can offer 'full protection' for €15-25 a day on top of a cheap headline rate - the cheap rate exists to make the upsell work. Read the words WUG (Wheels, Underside, Glass) on any quote you compare: if they are missing, the policy is not full cover, whatever the checkout page calls it. Our rate is quoted with FCDW and WUG already inside it, so the number you are shown is the number you pay.
What is still excluded - in plain words
Driving off sealed roads. Any gravel track, including the road to Balos, voids the cover completely.
Driving under the influence, or by anyone not registered on the contract.
Lost keys, and refuelling with the wrong fuel.
Interior damage, and fines or tolls, which stay with the driver.
Everything else is covered, and the full terms arrive in writing before you confirm.
No deposit, because there is no excess to secure
A deposit exists to hold the excess on your card. With a €0 excess policy there is nothing to hold, so we take no deposit, place no pre-authorisation and keep no card on file. Add free delivery in the Heraklion area, unlimited kilometres, and a person who answers in English, Estonian or Finnish on WhatsApp for the whole trip, and that is the entire product.

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

Frequently asked questions
Is the insurance really included in the price?
Yes. Every rate we quote includes FCDW full insurance plus WUG cover at €0 excess. There is no cheaper tier and no upgrade to buy at handover.
Are tyres and windscreen damage covered?
Yes - tyres, wheels, the car's underside, glass and mirrors are all covered at zero excess. Those four are exactly what standard CDW policies in Greece exclude.
What excess do I pay if I damage the car?
€0 for anything the policy covers. You call us, we arrange the repair. The only exceptions are the exclusions listed above, which we send you in writing before you book.
Do I still need a credit card or a deposit?
No. Because the excess is zero there is nothing to secure, so there is no deposit, no card block and no credit-card requirement.
Does the insurance cover the road to Balos?
No, and no insurer in Crete covers it. The final stretch is an unsealed gravel track, driving it voids the cover on any rental car, and we ask guests to take the boat from Kissamos instead.
