Category based rentals

Delivery / Collection all over Crete

We reserve the right to charge an additional fee for deliveries and collections far from our main stations.

Out of hours delivery

We consider deliveries to be "out of hours" from 01:00 to 05:30 AM. We reserve the right to charge each delivery between these hours with an additional fee.

Luggage

Our experienced staff is always willing to help our clients with their luggage, but is not responsible for miscalculation or misunderstanding from the part of the guest on how many suitcases fill the car trunk. In case there is such an ambiguity regarding the space, we always recommend the rental of a bigger car for our clients' comfort.

Fuel

All our cars, unless otherwise stated use unleaded petrol. Manufacturers recommend 98-octane fuel, for the better performance of the car, especially for categories A1 and B1.
We expect our cars to be returned with the same amount of petrol as when given to our client (e.g. if delivered with half tank it should be returned to us with half tank), as stated in the contract. Should the car come with less petrol, our rep has the right to ask for the balance of the petrol in cash. It is advised that you program the proper filling of the car, we cannot refund additional fuel returned to us.
