Practical guide

Before you arrive

1. Send the exact trip details

Choose Chania Airport, pickup and return dates and times, preferred category, transmission and insurance. Add the flight details when available.

2. Wait for the written quote

A quote request is not an automatic booking. ChaniaRental.gr checks availability and replies with the vehicle category, final price and rental terms.

3. Confirm the reservation details

Check the reference, airport, times, insurance choice and contact details before travelling. Save the confirmation so it is available offline after landing.

4. Follow the confirmed meeting instructions

Use the exact meeting point and contact instructions supplied for your reservation. Handover times are coordinated; the site does not promise a physical desk or 24-hour walk-in service.

5. Check the vehicle and agreement

Before driving away, check the vehicle category, visible condition, fuel level, insurance and exclusions shown in the agreement.

6. Keep the rental contact details

Roadside assistance and rental contact information should stay with you during the trip in case a question or problem occurs.

Practical guide

Returning the car

Use the confirmed return point and time

Return the car to the location and time shown in the reservation. If your departure or return plan changes, contact ChaniaRental.gr before changing the handover.

Follow the written fuel policy and leave enough time for airport access, luggage and departure formalities.
