HERTZ Car Rental at Chania Airport

Chania Airport handles around three million passengers per year. It is the second major airport on the island of Crete, after Heraklion Airport, nearby the island's capital city. Chania is an important city for commerce and culture in Western Crete as well. Passengers arriving at the airport can hire a vehicle from car rental companies such as Hertz for their holiday or business trip. Hertz is one of the best-known car hire companies in the world, and the largest provider of car rental services.

Hertz Chania Airport along with other car hire companies is found in the arrivals area of the airport, and is open from 08:00 to 21:00, every day of the week. Customers can either arrange their vehicle directly from the rental counters upon arriving at the airport, or make a reservation from Hertz's website, at www.hertz.com. Since that Chania, and the island of Crete, is such a popular holiday destination in the summer, car hire can be in high demand during this time, and it may therefore be better to reserve a vehicle in advance of travelling to the airport. This will ensure that your ideal car is ready and waiting for your arrival. From Hertz's website, it is very easy to hire a car, simply fill in your required details, and ensure that you have selected everything you need for your holiday or business trip. All financial transactions made online are considered to be secure as well.

Especially during the busier times of Chania Airport, customers should book any additional items of equipment needed from Hertz as early as possible. These may include child seats or luggage racks. In Greece, all children younger than ten years of age are required by law to sit in the back of the car, and it is wise to have the correct sized seat for small babies or littler children. A car seat from Hertz will cost a bit extra per day of rental, but will ensure a safer journey. Disabled drivers at Hertz may also be able to request the use of hand controls. Hand controls are suitable for individuals with a lower limb deficiency, and operate the brake and accelerator pedals of certain types of automatic vehicles. They may include a steering wheel knob as well, but do not control the car's blinkers, lights or windshield wipers. At Chania Airport, hand controls should be booked at least 48 hours in advance of your arrival.

Hertz one-way hires are ideal for customers who will not be returning to Chania Airport, but perhaps are leaving the country from another airport on the island, or in mainland Greece. One-way rentals enable a customer to collect their vehicle from Chania Airport, but return the car to a different Hertz rental location. This location can be nearby, even still within the city of Chania, or further away, in another Greek city or even in another country. Customers should confirm with Hertz if their vehicle is allowed to be driven out of Greece, and if any additional charges will be applicable. At Chania Airport car hire one-way rentals may cost extra if the vehicle is returned to a further location, but are usually free of charge if returned within the same city.

Hertz, at Chania Airport, offers their customers a wide selection of vehicles from which to choose. All vehicles from Hertz are of the latest models possible, well maintained with low mileage, and are regularly checked for safety. Vehicles will also come with 24 hour emergency roadside assistance, and possibly unlimited free mileage. At this Hertz location, vehicles are divided into various categories, and are therefore booked accordingly. The main categories offered include Car/Convertible, Estate and 4WD/SUV/Minivan. There are smaller cars available, such as the Hyundai i10 and MCC Smart 0.6, which are ideal for single drivers and couples. They really don't offer much room for luggage, but are a good choice for quick tours of all the local attractions. However, families with luggage will definitely require a larger vehicle.

The Opel Corsa, Fiat Grande Punto and Ford Focus are popular vehicles to rent, as they are also of a practical size, with good rental rates and high fuel efficiency, but are a bit larger than the vehicles mentioned above. Midsize vehicles often hired by families include the Hyundai Accent 1.3, Mercedes A140 1.4, Hyundai Elantra 1.6 and the Ford Focus C-Max. In general, these vehicles will comfortably seat up to five passengers, and store a few luggage items as well. Estate vehicles are also popular family rentals, as they offer more space for luggage, and may even include luggage racks. Hertz offers vehicles similar to the Opel Astra Wagon in this category. Larger SUV's and Minivans are hired by many customers as well, and may include the Suzuki Jimny, Suzuki Vitara and Landrover Freelander as SUV's, and the Seat Alhambra, Fiat Scudo and VW Transporter as Van type vehicles, seating between seven and nine passengers.

Hertz offers a number of additional services, including the Hertz #1 Club. This membership is available for all renters, occasional or frequent, and is free of charge. Members of the club enjoy faster rental, reservation and return services, discounts on certain car hire deals and will be the first to hear of any special Hertz promotion or service. All further details are available on Hertz's website, or customers can contact Hertz directly, at their Chania Airport car rental location.
