EUROPCAR Car Rental at Chania Airport

Europcar at Chania Airport offers their customers a wide range of vehicles for hire, and Europcar's clients are also fond of their reasonable rental rates.

At this rental location, Europcar's ordinary hours of operation are from 07:30 to 21:00, and their rental counters can be found in the arrivals area of the terminal building. Chania Airport is quite a small airport; therefore passengers will find the single terminal building easy to navigate. The airport is busier during the summer months of Greece, and during this time, passengers should reserve their hired vehicles in advance of their flight to Chania Airport. However, passengers without a reservation can just go straight to Europcar's rental counters.

Europcar is just one of several car rental companies at Chania Airport.

Vehicles hired from Europcar Chania Airport are divided into various car categories, such as Mini, Economy, Compact and Full-size. Customers will therefore choose a category, rather than vehicles by its specific make and model. Although the exact model of vehicle shown on Europcar's website may not be available, a car of very similar size and characteristics will be provided. The Mini category contains Europcar's smallest vehicles, for example, the Fiat Panda 1.1, seating just three or four people. This little car is ideal for single drivers, couples or even families who do not have too many luggage items. It is also a car with a manual transmission and air conditioning. Other smaller sized vehicles can be hired from the Economy category, and may be similar to the Hyundai Atos 1.0 and Hyundai Getz 1.2. Economy vehicles generally come with excellent rental prices, and are fuel efficient as well.

Larger vehicles from Europcar are available from the other car categories, and they seat between four and seven passengers. Compact cars are a popular choice, like the Ford Focus and Hyundai Accent 1.4, while the Volvo S40 1.6 is found in the Standard car category. Up to seven passengers can make use of the Renault Espace, and the Suzuki Jimny is an example of an SUV. These larger vehicles should be booked in advance, as they have a ‘low availability’. Europcar will also confirm a booking for these cars by email within 48 hours. They come with a higher minimum age requirement, of 25, whereas the smaller vehicles can be hired by anyone over the age of 21.

Additional services offered by Chania Airport car hire companies, may include one-way hires, hand controls for disabled drivers and the hire of equipment such as baby seats and satellite navigation systems. From Chania Airport, one-way hires are useful for those who will not be returning to the airport, but perhaps leaving from another airport on the island, or on the Greek mainland. Passengers are therefore able to collect their vehicle from Chania Airport, but return it to another rental location. One-way rentals may have additional charges if the car is returned to another city. Disabled drivers with a lower limb deficiency will find hand controls to be ideal, as they operate the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle, which is automatic. Hand controls may also have a steering wheel knob for easier control of the vehicle. Passengers in need of such a device should ensure that they book early, at least 48 hours in advance of arriving at the airport.

Parents of young children travelling in Crete will require a baby or booster seat for their vehicle. In Greece, all children younger than ten must be seated in the rear of the car. Motorists will also find a satellite navigation system to be most beneficial if they are unfamiliar with the roads of the island, or if it is planned to travel between the towns nearby Chania Airport. A GPS unit will assist drivers to find nearby fuel stations, hotels, restaurants, shopping centers etc., as they are pre-programmed with an extensive list of points of interest. Car seats and GPS units cost a bit extra per day of rental.
