A deposit is the part of car rental nobody enjoys. At an airport desk in Crete you can expect €500 to €1500 held on a credit card in the main driver's name - money you cannot spend on your holiday, released days or weeks after you fly home.
We do it differently. There is no deposit, no card block and no card details held. You agree the price, we hand over the car, and the insurance that is already included does the job the deposit is supposed to do.
Nothing is blocked, pre-authorised or held on any card.
FCDW full insurance plus WUG (tyres, car underside, glass, mirrors) at €0 excess is in the price.
The full terms - fuel policy, driver age, what is excluded - arrive in writing before you confirm.
No add-on insurance is sold at handover, because there is nothing better to sell.
Free delivery and collection in the Heraklion area, including the airport and port.
Why chains ask for a deposit and we do not
A deposit exists to cover the excess on a basic insurance policy - the first €700 to €1200 of any damage. Their counter staff are then paid to sell you a waiver that removes it. We skipped that whole business model: every car is rented with full cover at zero excess as standard, so there is no excess to secure and nothing to upsell. It is a smaller, slower way to run a rental company, and it only works because we are local and the fleet is ours.
What is still your responsibility
Fuel, tolls and traffic fines.
Driving off sealed roads - including the gravel track to Balos - voids the insurance.
Damage caused by driving under the influence or by an unregistered driver.
Losing the keys or refuelling with the wrong fuel type.
Everything else is covered, and we will say so plainly before you book.

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

Frequently asked questions
Is there really no deposit at all?
Yes, really. No security deposit, no pre-authorisation, no card held on file. You pay the agreed rental and collect the keys.
What is the excess if I damage the car?
€0 for anything covered by FCDW plus WUG, which includes tyres, the car's underside, glass and mirrors. The exclusions are listed in the terms we send you in writing.
Do I need a credit card in my own name?
No. Because we take no deposit, there is no card requirement at all - which is why guests travelling with a debit card book with us.
Is a no-deposit rental more expensive?
Compare the totals rather than the headline day rate. Chain quotes usually exclude the excess waiver, which is where the real cost appears. Our quote is the full price.
