Rent a Car in Downtown Heraklion

With delivery within Heraklion's city limits you can have the car delivered directly to your hotel or accommodation without needing to get to a rental office. Two specialized rental companies offer this convenient service throughout the entire city area. Perfect if you're staying downtown and want to skip the taxi to the airport 5 km away.

The delivery area covers all of Heraklion, from Nea Alikarnassos in the east to Kaminia in the west – a distance of approximately 8 km. The car is delivered directly to your address, which saves time if you're staying at, for example, Plateia Eleftherias or along Leoforos Knossou. Confirm your exact delivery address and time at least 24 hours in advance.

Check that your accommodation has sufficient space for handover and that you're available at the agreed time. Ask if drop-off at the airport is included – it can save time on your return day. Does it cost extra to have the car delivered to the hotel?

A delivery fee typically applies, usually 10–25 euros depending on the address and rental company. Can I return the car at the airport? Yes, most rental companies with delivery service offer drop-off at Heraklion Airport HER, about 5 km east of the center.

How long does delivery take? The rental company specifies a time frame of typically 30–60 minutes, and they'll contact you when they're on the way.
