Most rental companies in Crete insist on a credit card in the main driver's name, purely so they can block a deposit on it. If you travel with a debit card, or with a card that has no credit limit to freeze, that single rule can rule out half the fleet at the airport.
We do not take a deposit, so we do not need a credit card. You settle the agreed price and drive.
Debit cards - no block, no pre-authorisation, no name matching drama.
Bank transfer before arrival, if you prefer everything settled in advance.
Cash on delivery in euros, agreed when you book.
No card is ever held on file as security.
The full price is agreed in writing first, so nothing changes at handover.
What you do need
A valid driving licence held for at least one year - an EU licence is enough on its own, and non-EU licences need an International Driving Permit alongside them. Bring your passport or ID for the paperwork, and tell us in advance if anyone else will drive, so the additional driver is registered on the contract for a small fee. That is the whole list.
Why this matters in Crete
Airport desks are where holidays get expensive: a queue, a card block, and a hard sell on excess waiver insurance while your family waits with the luggage. Because our price already includes FCDW full insurance with WUG cover at €0 excess and we hold no deposit, the handover is a five-minute conversation with a person who lives here.

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
Can I rent with a debit card?
Yes. Since we take no deposit and place no block, a debit card is completely fine - as is paying in cash on delivery if you prefer.
Do you need the card to be in the driver's name?
No. We only need the driver's licence and ID. Payment can come from whoever is paying.
Can I pay in cash when you deliver the car?
Yes, in euros, agreed in advance when you book. Many of our guests do exactly this.
Will you take card details as security?
No. We hold no card on file. The agreed price is the only payment.
