A Heraklion N. Kazantzakis Apt. Airport car hire is a fantastic way to explore the beautiful coastlines around Crete, as well as the rustic and mountainous countryside that dominates the central areas of the island. The airport is conveniently located only 3 miles from the city of Heraklion, which is around a 10min drive. The airport runs a bus service to and from the city, and though the city runs a reliable public bus service, there are more advantages to hiring a car than relying on public transport schedules. You’ll be able to explore the island’s diverse landscape with much more freedom and flexibility, especially when getting to those hard-to-reach enclaves that buses rarely go to.
At Heraklion N. Kazantzakis Airport, you’ll see that it is extremely well connected to major roads heading to the city or to other parts of Crete. Once you’ve picked up your hire car at the car collection points just outside the airport, you can head northwest on Leof. Ikarou Road directly into the city centre. Alternatively, if you’re staying elsewhere like Malia, you can head southeast on Vorios Odikos Axonas Kritis/E75 Road along the north coast of the island and get there in just under 30min. If you’re venturing inland towards the green and mountainous countryside, you can go to areas like the market town of Moires in about 45min. Take the E75 road again but this time southwest towards the city and turn off down EO Irakliou Faistou Road.
With a car hire at Heraklion N. Kazantzakis Apt. Airport, it’s important to note the operating hours of your car hire company, along with the vehicle returns policy and the time in which you have to return your car.

Around the airport, some companies are open 24h but others close as early as 21:00, so when booking your vehicle check with the company directly regarding returns and office hours to avoid any potential additional charges.

Picking up the car took an hour and a half, and there was only 2 other groups ahead of us when we arrived. The process was painfully slow and the staff told me my automatic car wasn’t actually ready yet (even though by the time I was serviced it was 2 hours after I was supposed to pick it up) and that I would have to wait or they could offer me a manual car (that I can’t drive) for an hour and then make me return it and wait another 1.5 hours to get the car I booked. The whole experience was a nightmare. Would not use them again.

It would be helpful if it was more clear on the website that the person in whose name the reservation is made will automatically be assigned as the primary driver for the vehicle and this information could not be changed at the time of pick up for the vehicle. We ended up having to cancel and rebook our reservation at the time of car pick up in order to have my partner as the driver.

Forced to buy car insurance or face a $2000 hold on credit card. Bought their insurance, still put a $400 hold on card. Gave a car that was a total POS, scraped up, no AC, pieces falling off during the driving. Don’t recommend this company at all.

4.0 Mediocre

Jun 2022

I liked the car, the service from people. But my deposit money has not been unlocked yet. And there was a problem with the pick-up, because I followed the location given from Kayak.com, but turns out the car was near airport, so I did my the bus trip twice. Other than that, everything was fine.

1.9 Poor

Sep 2021

When we arrived at the airport to pick up our car, we were told that we needed to pay for the booking in cash, which is extremely unusual. It turns out that if you pay by cash, your credit card company does not cover the insurance, so if we paid by cash, we would have had to pay an extra EUR 280 in insurance. I told the agent that this was unexpected and unfair, but he told me that his boss said that Economy Rent-a-Car reservations had to be paid in cash I called the Economy office in Greece, and I was told that they couldn't help me, that this was between me and the agent I found this so unprofessional that I called the Economy office in the USA, where they told me that indeed this was an unusual policy and they were going to check for me why they are asking me to pay by cash. Unfortunately, they hung up on me Fortunately, I had an email from Economy from one month before in which they confirmed that I could pay with any credit card. When I showed this to the agent, he immediately agreed to take the card payment, without every consulting with his supervisor (see the first paragraph, in which he told me that it was his boss that was forcing him to take a cash payment) To add insult to injury, when we got the car it was a Peugeot 108, which only has 4 seats and barely any room for luggage. I had specifically chosen the "small" category instead of "mini", because we needed room for a baby stroller. The confirmation I got from priceline says "Volkswagen Polo or similar". Economy translates this to "Fiat Panda or similar". Both the Volkswagen Polo and the Fiat Panda have 5 seats and a decent-size trunk. Instead, the Peugeot 108 was extremely tiny and we could barely fit ourselves and the luggage; we had to travel in really uncomfortable conditions. The Peugeot 108 looks much more like the Toyota Aygo, which is a "mini" car As a final note, the trunk door broke during the trip and could not longer remain open on its own, so that I had to hold it up while placing the quite heavy baby stroller inside

5.9 Fair

Jul 2021

We were third in line and waited 45 minutes in the hot sun--process could have been quicker! No VW Polo's available so we got a Fiat Panda which looked to be 10 years old. Four people and four bags just barely fit and it took four tries to close the back hatch. The car did the job and got us around Crete, but the VW Polo we saw on the lot at drop-off sure looked much nicer!
