BUDGET Car Rental at Chania Airport

Chania Airport is one of two international airports on the island of Crete, the other being Heraklion Airport. The airport of Chania is located ten kilometers from the town, on the Akrotiri Peninsula, and also nearby Souda Bay, on the western coastline of the island. It seems as though Greek inhabitants enjoy having a few names for their towns and airports, therefore, Chania is also known as Hania or Khania, while the airport can also be referred to as the Ioannis Daskalogiannis Airport. Passengers arriving at Chania Airport often rent a car for exploring the wonderful sights of the island, and the car hire companies at Chania airport include Budget Car Rental. Budget offers very affordable rental rates, hence their name, but only offer the highest quality vehicles for hire.

Budget, at Chania Airport, is open 24 hours a day, every day of the week, and have rental counters in the arrivals hall. An early booking is especially recommended during busier times at the airport (during the summer), and if the customer required any special type or size of vehicle. Vehicle accessories such as car seats, luggage racks or a satellite navigation system should also be booked quite well in advance, as Budget cannot guarantee the availability of the items if they are not reserved. Additional items will cost a bit extra per day of rental, but will add great peace of mind in knowing that your children can travel safely, and that you perhaps have the assistance of a GPS in unfamiliar territory.

Budget Chania Airport one-way rentals are often a popular choice by many customers, and this service can be free of charge should the vehicle be returned to a nearby destination.

However, customers should first find out from Budget if this service is available at their rental location, or consult the terms and conditions applicable. Disabled drivers may also be able to reserve hand controls from Chania airport, and this device operates the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle, which is really all that is required for driving an automatic vehicle. There may also be a steering wheel knob included, which will assist with the manoeuvring of the vehicle. Hand controls should always be booked at least 48 hours in advance of arriving at the airport.
