Last-Minute Car Rental in Gournes

Delivery around CretAquarium and the coast road

The hotels here sit either side of the old coast road, with the aquarium and the water park as landmarks. Access is wide and modern, so handovers are quick: we confirm a time, meet you at the entrance, walk around the car with you and you drive off. Where a property has a busy forecourt we agree a spot beside it instead.

A base for families who arrived without a car

Gournes attracts families who booked all-inclusive and then realise the interesting parts of Crete are 20 to 60 minutes away. A car turns the aquarium morning into a full day: the Minoan villa at Nirou Chani, the beaches around Kokkini Hani, or the climb to the plateau. If you are travelling with young children, tell us their ages when you write so the seats question is settled in the same message. Child seats always carry a small extra fee.

How the availability check works for Gournes

• Send your location, pickup time, return time and number of travellers.
• We personally check what is currently free, in our own fleet and with local partners.
• You get the available vehicle and one clear all-inclusive total price.
• You decide whether to confirm - nothing is reserved before that.
• Where confirmed, the car is delivered to the agreed spot and paid for at handover.

Which car suits Gournes

• A compact car handles the coast road and the trip into Heraklion easily.
• A family car with a real boot is worth asking for if you have pushchairs and beach gear.
• Automatics are limited at short notice in peak weeks - say early if it is essential.

Before you send an urgent request

Sending an enquiry does not create a booking or a payment obligation. A vehicle is only reserved after we have confirmed availability and you have accepted the final offer in writing.

Insurance, deposit and conditions

Every confirmed MyCrete offer 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. Unlimited kilometres, taxes and fees are inside the one total price we send you, and you pay in cash or by card when the car is handed over. Fuel is not included: you take the car with an agreed fuel level and return it the same way. Cars are supplied from our own fleet and from carefully selected local partners, and MyCrete stays your contact for the whole rental.
