Travelling with children in Crete means a boot that swallows a pushchair, air conditioning that copes with an August afternoon, and a handover that does not involve queueing at an airport desk with tired kids.
We deliver the car to arrivals, to your hotel or to the port, fit the child seats before you arrive and hand you the keys with the insurance already in the price.
Five-seat cars with a real boot, plus seven-seat options such as the Dacia Jogger or Toyota Proace City.
Child and booster seats fitted before handover, always for a small extra fee - never free, and always quoted before you book.
An additional driver for a small extra fee, so both parents can share the mountain roads.
FCDW full insurance with €0 excess and no deposit blocked on your card while you are on holiday.
Driving in Crete with children
Distances look small and take longer than the map suggests: Heraklion to Chania is about two hours on the national road, Heraklion to Elounda one hour, Heraklion to Matala about an hour and fifteen. Mountain roads to Lasithi or Zaros are winding, so plan a stop. Most beaches on the north coast have shaded parking; Elafonissi and Preveli fill up by 11:00 in summer, so leave early.
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, and there is no credit-card deposit. There is nothing to upsell at handover because there is no better package to sell. We send the fuel policy, the driver age rule and the full terms in writing before you confirm. An EU driving licence is enough. Insurance is void off-road, including the gravel track to Balos.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a child seat with a rental car in Crete?
Yes. Child and booster seats are available for a small extra fee and are fitted before we hand the car over. Tell us the children's ages and weights when you ask for availability.
Is a child seat free?
No. A child seat always carries a small extra fee. We quote the exact amount before you confirm, so nothing appears at handover.
Can both parents drive the rental car?
Yes. An additional driver can be added for a small extra fee and must be present with a licence at handover.
Which car suits a family of four with luggage?
A compact family car or small SUV is normally right for four people with two large suitcases. With a pushchair and beach gear, a seven-seater used as a five-seater gives you the boot space.
