One-way car rental in Crete

Typical one-way routes

• Heraklion airport or port to Chania airport - the classic west-bound itinerary.
• Chania to Heraklion, for trips that start in the west.
• Heraklion to Rethymno, or Rethymno to Chania, for shorter hops.
• Resort to airport within the same region - normally without any relocation cost.

What a one-way rental costs

A one-way between regions means somebody drives the car back, so there can be a relocation fee. When there is one it is stated in the written quotation as part of the single final total - never added at handover. Within the same area, delivery and collection at different addresses is normally included.

Planning the drive across the island

Heraklion to Chania on the E75 is around 140 km and takes a little over two hours without stops. Leave time for the last leg: arriving at Chania airport with an hour to spare after a coastal detour is optimistic in August. Note also that the four-day minimum applies to Chania-area rentals.

How availability and pricing work

There is no instant checkout. When you send your dates we check personally what is genuinely available for that period, and we reply with the car (or a similar one), the conditions and one clear final price. Nothing is reserved until you confirm in writing, and no payment is taken to ask.

Insurance, deposit and conditions

Every MyCrete rental includes FCDW full insurance plus WUG cover - tyres, wheels, glass, mirrors and the underbody - at €0 excess, with no security deposit and no credit-card hold. Kilometres are unlimited and the quoted total is the amount you pay at handover, by cash or card. Fuel is not included: you receive the car with a set fuel level and return it the same way. Insurance is void off-road, including the gravel track to Balos. Cars are arranged from our own fleet and from selected local partners, and MyCrete stays your contact for the whole rental.
