Car Rental Heraklion Port

Car was fine, return was completely hassle-free.
Thanks Auto Kreta 😁
In March, the prices were among the lowest. I didn't have to pay in advance; I could pay in cash. Therefore, I didn't have to provide a credit card, and there was no deposit. This is fantastic because you usually don't get deposits back if you provide a credit card somewhere; the operators often charge you again. I booked directly with Autokreta, so I didn't have to pay for double insurance, as I would have if I had booked through a second or third-party provider, which is often the case with other providers in Crete, for example, if you book through check24.
So far, I'm satisfied. The only downside was that our child seat wasn't the one we had booked. It requires an Isofix, but the car we received didn't have one, so it came with a forward-facing child seat. However, we did get a better car overall.
The staff were friendly and helpful during pick-up and drop-off.
This car rental company is top-notch.

Excellent service. New car. Everything was clean. Friendly service, also entirely in German.
We would gladly use them again.
We'll see you again in September, because after the vacation is before the vacation. 😀😀👍👍👍👍
Simply fantastic!
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.
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 ;)
Would gladly come again
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!
Hassle-free rental without a credit card, very nice people.
First-class service.
Always happy to come back.
Best regards, Angela and Betnhard
Definitely recommend it.
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.
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!☺️
If you're in Crete, then Autokreta
I highly recommend Autokreta.
We will recommend you and your company.
Thank you very much.
Best regards, the Lukas family.👍🌞
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.
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.
Everything went smoothly and without complications.
Definitely recommended.
👍👍👍
Made a lot of a research before and that was the one and only legal and without scams.
6 stars and I'll definitely be back next time.
Thank you very much.
My little Fiat Panda is great!
I've already booked it again for my next vacation.
Thank you very much and see you again soon...👍🏽👏🏼
handover, and pickup…
Everything went great.
I'd be happy to do it again.
The vehicle was in great condition; we would rent it again!
Everything went smoothly. From the booking to the drop-off at the hotel. The team was very friendly and German-speaking. We had a Polo, very well-maintained and in top condition. We would definitely rent a car there again.
Thanks to the team
Update: As always, everything was great! Thank you for being so uncomplicated and friendly.
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.
We will rent our car again on our next Crete vacation in 2025 :)
See you soon. Hermann Ansel

The entire process was extremely easy and without much fanfare.
In Crete we will always use Auto Crete.
Thank you.
