Chania pickup choices
Choose the most practical collection point
Chania Airport
Add the flight number and expected landing time so the airport meeting and any delay can be planned in writing.
Hotels, villas and Souda Port
Delivery can be requested for supported accommodation and port locations. The exact handover place is confirmed before the rental.
Vehicle choice
Match the car to passengers, luggage and route
Small and economy cars suit couples and light luggage, while compact or family cars give more boot space. SUVs offer a higher seating position and extra comfort, but they are not permission to drive off-road. Seven- and nine-seat categories should be chosen after counting both passengers and large suitcases.
Compare economy cars at Chania Airport, SUV options at CHQ, automatic cars and group vehicles.
Driving from Chania
Plan west-Crete routes realistically
Chania is a useful base for Elafonisi, Falassarna, Kissamos, Omalos, Paleochora, Sougia and the Apokoronas villages. Mountain and south-coast routes take longer than the map distance suggests, so allow time for slower bends, fuel stops and parking.
