About Renting a Car at Chersonissos Center

Hersonissos is one of Crete's most popular tourist destinations and an excellent hub for car trips along the northern coast. From here you can reach Heraklion in just 25 kilometers west along E75, where Knossos Palace and the archaeological museum await. Drive east and you'll find Malia with its ancient remains in approximately 10 kilometers, and if you continue along the coast you'll reach Agios Nikolaos in about 40 kilometers.

To the south, Crete's wild interior beckons, where winding roads up to the Lasithi Plateau offer dramatic scenery and traditional mountain villages such as Kastelli. Visit Hersonissos in early summer or fall to avoid the intense heat of July-August and get the most out of your road trips.

We compare prices from all major providers at Chersonissos Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.

Picking Up a Car in Hersonissos — The Essentials

🚗 1) Pick the Right Terms

  • Fuel: "Full-to-full" is usually the fairest deal.
  • Extra driver: can cost extra — check before booking.
  • Automatic: often pricier and in shorter supply.
