ONE-WAY CAR RENTAL IN CRETE

One-way car rental in Crete

Plenty of Crete itineraries land at one airport and leave from the other: in at Heraklion, west through Rethymno and Chania, out from Chania. A one-way rental saves you the drive back along the E75 on your last morning.

We arrange one-way rentals between the main points on the north coast. Whether it is possible for your dates depends on availability, so it is confirmed individually rather than promised in advance.

  • Full insurance
  • €0 excess
  • €0 deposit
  • No credit-card hold
  • Unlimited kilometres
  • One clear final price

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.

Find the right rental car

Answer a few quick questions. We will personally check actual availability and send you the final all-inclusive total price. Sending an enquiry does not create a booking or payment obligation.

Final quote after availability check

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

7+ days · better daily rate

The daily rate usually becomes lower when you rent for a longer period. Enter your dates and we will prepare a personalised offer with the final total price.

One clear final price – no surprises when you receive the car.

Advertised starting price

May exclude additional insurance or services.

Price at pickup

Can increase after optional coverage is added.

MyCrete total offer

Insurance conditions, deposit and final price are explained before confirmation.

Often yes. It depends on availability for your dates, and we confirm it in writing with the complete price before you commit.
Is there a one-way fee?
There can be a relocation fee between regions. If there is, it is inside the final total we quote - there are no charges added later.
Does the insurance change for a one-way rental?
No. Full insurance at €0 excess, no deposit and unlimited kilometres apply exactly as they do on any other rental.
