We were very satisfied. The process of picking up and dropping off the car was very straightforward. I can highly recommend them; we will definitely use this company again.

Super friendly and completely hassle-free 👍 no hidden costs and great vehicles. The price and performance are simply perfect. Best car rental in Crete for me, and I'll definitely be using them again next time. Best wishes from northern Germany.
We'll see you again in September, because after the vacation is before the vacation. 😀😀👍👍👍👍

I would gladly use Autotravel again; the car rental process was smooth and the staff were friendly.
Great car rental company here in heraklion. The car i used was new and clean. No need deposit too. I highly recommend this. Thank you. See you on my next trip again.
Many thanks to Gaby, Helena, and everyone else who hasn't been mentioned. Everything went perfectly again, from the handover in Chania, where a friendly employee was already waiting for us, to the return in Heraklion. With the all-inclusive package and no deposit, there's no better car rental company for us. We'll see you again next year. Sonja and Andreas from Cottbus.
Reliable service provider. Vehicle in excellent condition. However, unsuitable for mountain roads due to insufficient power and therefore horsepower. Bring an adapter as Android didn't work on either of our phones, making navigation difficult without GPS.
Easily accessible on foot. Very friendly owner, speaks perfect German! Good value. Reserved car provided. Hassle-free pick-up and drop-off. The Fiat Panda lacks sufficient power.
Totally friendly, completely uncomplicated. No hidden traps.
Simply fantastic!

Everything was perfect from start to finish.
We had reserved the car for 8 a.m., and the employee was already waiting for us, as she could see from our flight number that we were arriving early. We received a very warm welcome! Thank you so much! We highly recommend them.

Superb service, it couldn't be better. Premium comprehensive insurance, a great car, and you don't have to worry about anything else – they're always there to help in case of a breakdown. From now on, only Autoteavel.
We booked the car online before our holiday, with full insurance and without a credit card. Pickup was straightforward, and Emanuela was very friendly and explained everything clearly. The car was in good condition. Returning it after our holiday also went smoothly. An employee took the car from us. We would gladly use their services again.
Everything was perfect from the very first second, a super friendly welcome, the car clean and in perfect condition, even though the season is drawing to a close. Thank you, I'd do it again anytime!
Everything went smoothly. No problems. Very friendly handover. Car left upon return, keys dropped off. Done. Next time I'm in Crete, I'll use Autokreta again.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Autokreta. Super friendly contact and quick responses. Initially, I was a little skeptical because of the very good reviews, but they're definitely well-deserved. Traveling abroad can often make you feel uncertain due to the different driving culture (we certainly do). This concern was immediately put to rest; the car was in perfect condition, and we were spared the hassle of documenting any scratches or damage. If something were to happen, even if it was someone else's fault, then "that's just how it is." We would simply have had to report such damage to them – everything was insured. To be perfectly clear, you won't get ripped off here – everything was, as I said, pleasant and straightforward. We'll be insisting that all our acquaintances and friends who book Crete in the future book with them. It really couldn't be better!
We rented a car for two days, was dropped off at the hotel, and picked up again afterward. Everything worked perfectly! The employee was also very friendly! Thank you so much, and we'd gladly use them again! :-)
The best, friendliest, and most hassle-free car rental service you'll find in all of Crete.
I was left hanging by another provider; here everything was quick, friendly, and without any surcharges or hidden fees. The only downside: The people there are also native German speakers ;)

Everything went very smoothly. Communication, handover, and key drop-off at the hotel were all friendly. The car was also in good condition. An older Hyundai I20, but technically sound.
We've been regular customers of Autotravel, formerly Autokreta, for years and have always been wonderfully looked after and cared for by them. The service, pricing, fully comprehensive insurance with no deductible, and vehicle fleet are all excellent (I usually drive a Polo). This year, it was a Peugeot 208, a comfortable car that once again took us around the entire island for three weeks. I would especially like to emphasize the friendly, German-speaking service. There's absolutely no reason to change this success story on our next trip to Crete!
We are thrilled by the warm welcome we receive every year. It's also very generous, straightforward, and open. No hidden costs, everything is clear and straightforward. We're already looking forward to next year. Best wishes from us in Aachen.
Super hassle-free!
The location was easy to find, the lady from the company spoke excellent German, and gave us a very warm welcome. With a zero deductible on fully comprehensive insurance, there was nothing to worry about, and we were given the keys straight away. The car was in perfect condition, and returning it was also incredibly hassle-free. We'd be happy to come back on our next visit to Crete!

Very straightforward, good car, very friendly staff. Always happy to come back.
Great service, very good Panda Hybrid.

Directly at the airport, very friendly, competent, helpful, uncomplicated
Super easy rental, everything worked as booked, including pick-up and drop-off at the hotel. Thank you very much, and we'd be happy to come back.
The best car rental ever... no matter where we were... totally hassle-free... no deposit... no credit card required... no worries about flight delays... always happy to use... absolutely unbeatable... many people could learn a thing or two from this service, and it's easy to find as well... thanks to Gaby and her great team
Autokreta makes your holiday uncomplicated from the start. Thank you for that.
Excellent welcome and support! Simple and quick process to obtain a car. The person who received me was very kind, accommodating and gave me very good advice on things to see and routes to follow to fully enjoy my stay.
Everything was perfect! Delivery was even earlier than agreed. Perfectly spoken German and everything explained! Couldn't be better!
Uncomplicated vehicle handover, very friendly staff, no credit card required, free upgrade to convertible, great, we can only recommend this provider
Super easy and reasonable prices, have been for years. Always happy to come back. Thank you.
We've been renting our car from Auto Travel for several years and are always delighted. A WhatsApp message to Gaby and she'll take care of it. Pick-up and drop-off are completely hassle-free. We would never rent our car anywhere else. Thank you for this, and keep up the good work.
Everything went perfectly! Thank you so much! Nice staff at the airport during pick-up and drop-off!
As always, everything was great. The process was easy and relaxed, and the team was super friendly.
Last-minute booking, and everything worked out perfectly.
The car was even delivered to the hotel the evening before the actual booking.
Picking up the car was problem-free; I simply handed over the car keys at the hotel reception.

Fantastic friendly service dealing with Maria. Insurance included in great price. Car delivered to and picked up from our hotel - delivered in about 20 minutes after booking!!! Everything made clear and existing dings and scratches pointed out. Thoroughly recommend.
We received a personal recommendation for this rental, primarily due to the fully comprehensive insurance and no deposit required. We opted for an affordable "older" Fiat Panda for the seven days and had no problems at all. Pick-up and drop-off were very friendly, in German, and completely uncomplicated. We'd be happy to use it again! :-)
Top service, reliable and well-maintained cars…we've been booking our cars here for years…always happy to come back👍🏻
Everything was simply top-notch. Super friendly staff. They speak fluent German. I definitely recommend them.
Super service car was brought to the hotel on time by a very friendly man who spoke good German gave us tips where the nice spots were. Car was well maintained and in super condition I would definitely recommend this company
A truly fantastic car rental company. We received a great welcome and everything went smoothly. The car was in top condition, and we were able to experience many amazing things with it.
The service and warm friendliness of Emmanouela and Angeliki were truly fantastic, and we immediately felt at home.
Highly recommended for value for money! We'll be happy to book with them again next time we're in Crete!☺️

I can only recommend it. We received a very warm welcome from a German-speaking employee. Everything went smoothly with the car. It was especially good that everything was insured right away. We didn't have to worry about any additional payments. We'd be happy to go back!
Super friendly team, good cars, no hidden extras, hassle-free processing. I've been booking here for many years whenever I fly to Crete. So far, everything has been great. I highly recommend them.
I've been very satisfied with Autokreta for years. The price and performance are excellent, and the service is exemplary.
In mid-May, we rented a car for 10 days. The Fiat Panda was handed over to us at the hotel the day before at no extra charge. The car was clean, reliable, and had only done about 30,000 km. The drop-off and pick-up process was completely hassle-free. No deposit required. The insurance package is all-inclusive, so just hand over the keys at reception. Very good value for money. The fuel policy – as agreed – is OK, although full to full would be better. I recommend the company without reservation.
Great rental car company. This is my second time renting a car from them and I would do it again. Friendly staff and well-maintained new cars at great prices, with no deposit or mileage limit.
If you're in Crete, then Autokreta

Really great from start to finish. Easy pickup right outside the airport, car was clean and obviously well maintained. Will definetly use again!
Everything was perfect. I booked through Autokreta.de. The communication beforehand was clear, friendly, and hassle-free. I was able to pay half of the rental price upfront via PayPal, instead of having to bring everything in cash upon pick-up.
The price was fair and, despite the all-inclusive package, significantly cheaper than with the larger providers.
Pick-up was also smooth and quick, as was return with the key box.
The rented Fiat Panda was absolutely fine. One parking light bulb was broken, but that's something you can probably overlook...
I'll definitely use Autokreta.de again on my next visit to Crete! Efcharisto.

One of the most hassle-free car rental companies I've ever experienced. Great prices, all-round protection with no deductible. Highly recommended!

German-speaking staff who are friendly and competent. The conditions are great, and the price-performance ratio is truly unbeatable. The rental car was in excellent condition – clean, reliable, and like new. No wonder the previous Google reviews are so positive – we can only confirm this! We would rent a car here again anytime.

I would be happy to give at least 5 stars to the best car rental company in Crete, without any pressure or point of view. It's wonderful that things happen easily in life. Land, go there, pay, get the keys, drive off. It can be that simple and in German too. With you again and again. Thanks until next time. 🙋🏼♂️👍
Brand new car, delivered to the hotel and collected from there. Great communications.
Always happy to come back. Extremely friendly and completely uncomplicated. From pick-up to return, a highly recommended car rental company. Unfortunately, I can only give 5 stars, otherwise I would have given even more.
Very good experience.
Made a lot of a research before and that was the one and only legal and without scams.

As always, great service, very friendly staff, and a superbly maintained vehicle. See you next time 🇬🇷🫶🏻🙂
Never experienced such a quick rental and such a friendly welcome. Absolutely uncomplicated pickup at the airport, a very good car, and a quick return at the port—simply perfect.
It's always a pleasure to get a vehicle from autotravel. They are very reliable and friendly.
Thank you very much and see you again soon...👍🏽👏🏼

Great service, very friendly people (especially Sabine❤️) and always helpful. Rent a car? Always Autotravel👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. 6 stars from me.
Everything went perfectly! The car was as described. The handover took place on time, and when an unforeseen problem arose with the car during the stay, it was replaced immediately. Extending the rental period was also a breeze. Many thanks again to the team, and especially to Angeliki. We'd definitely hire again!
Best car rental experience ever! After bad experiences with the typical large low-cost providers, we simply asked the small company by email, but our special requests such as USB and Aux were still taken into account at a great price. Completely unproblematic processing, all inclusive and the whole thing without a credit card deposit. We will book here again!
Update: As always, everything was great! Thank you for being so uncomplicated and friendly.

In April 2025, I used a car for 8 days in Crete, rented in Chania and returned in Heraklion. Two-step booking (I decided to change the car shortly before departure) without additional costs and very friendly. Both the collection of the car and the return were lightning fast and stress-free. The car in very good condition performed excellently on the Cretan mountain roads. Next time in Crete, I will definitely use the nice services of Autotravel again. I like the company's principles: a low fee for returning at another airport, full insurance and car rental also for drivers over eighty.
Handover to the hotel and drop-off worked wonderfully. Booked a VW Polo or similar and got a Hyundai I20...everything was great. I would book again at any time.
The service was fantastic, Aggeliki was kind and lovely welcoming us in pickup and drop off, and the car was clean and very much fun to drive around the island (Peugeot 208).
very close to the exit of the airport, 1 min walking distance.
will definitely rent from them again when coming back to this beautiful island.

One of the best car rental companies in Crete. Our partner every time we visit Crete. Thank you for the great performance, Autotravel!
Hello. Anyone who rents a vehicle from Auto Kreta will definitely be met by a friendly and competent team. In any case, we will rent a car again in June 2025 (for the 6th time) and are already looking forward to it. You are really great.
See you soon. Hermann Ansel

We chose Autocrete based on a recommendation. I chose a car from home in the spring and agreed on a handover date at the end of August. He arrived at the hotel on time in the morning, prepared a short report and parked himself in the large car park at Chania airport a week later. Handed in the key at the service and over to the airport.
The entire process was extremely easy and without much fanfare.
In Crete we will always use Auto Crete.
Thank you.

Everything worked really quickly and flawlessly. I would always rent a car there again when I'm in Crete!😊
Fantastic service from start to finish. Nothing really seemed too much trouble. Our flight was late and we had no way of contacting the team but they waited until late for us to arrive. The car was just what we’d asked for. No one was inspecting areas of the car it was just a case of ‘here’s the keys, enjoy your holiday’ - what more could you ask for? We’d definitely use them again we’ve nothing bad to say.
Perfect service, good car, everything without problems, will use them next time in Crete
Absolutely brilliant. No fuss, really straightforward and absolutely lovely people who were so pleasant at the Hersonisos branch. Couldn't ask for better service, top class. If ever I visit Crete again, I'll go with this company for a rental car.
Very good service. It was very easy to get the car and get going. Easy to find from the airport. Overall very good experience
Very good service! We had no problems getting or dropping off the car. The car was clean and everything worked well! I would choose AutoKreta again! 10/10
