A quick online search for Heraklion airport car rental will bring you to the most trusted providers that offer airport pickup services along with rental agencies that you can make last minute reservations with. Planning ahead is key to getting the car you want and need for your trip, so make sure to do your homework weeks before your flight. Like elsewhere in the world, there are certain rules and conditions that you should understand and meet to be able to rent a car in Heraklion:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>To be allowed a Heraklion airport car rental, you have to be 21 years of age at the minimum. Some agencies may also refuse service to people who are over 70 years old. You may also be asked to pay what is called a young driver surcharge if you are younger than 25 years.<\/li>\n<li>A valid license must be presented to be able to secure a car hire at Heraklion Airport. Non-EU and non-Greek residents must secure a European Driver\u2019s Permit or an international driving license.<\/li>\n<li>Child seats are required for passengers four years and under. Child seats are available from rental car providers for a fee, while some throw in the service for free, depending on your arrangement.<\/li>\n<li>Whenever booking a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cretarent.gr\/car-hire-heraklion-airport.php\">Heraklion Airport car rental<\/a>, give your rented car a good examination before driving off to make sure that you are being handed a vehicle in tip top condition. Check for a serviceable spare tire and inspect for bumps, scratches, and visible damages before taking the unit. Make sure that these damages are listed on the service agreement so you won\u2019t be held responsible for damages you didn\u2019t cause.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, make sure that you have car rental insurance coverage to protect you from theft, accidents, and damages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting a car hire at Heraklion Airport is simple, especially when you have done your prior planning.
