Car Rental in Heraklion, Crete.

Heraklion is also referred to as Iraklion and  is the capital of the island of Crete which is a popular holiday destination. You can pick up your hire car from Heraklion Airport, otherwise known as Nikos Kazantzakis Airport or from collection points in Heraklion itself.  Despite being a big city, there are a number of very good beaches nearby including Amoudara and Amnissos, both reached in minutes in your rental car plus take the opportunity to visit the many ancient ruins on the Island. It is the second busiest airport in Greece and one of the largest cities in Greece. 

Please see below the current car rental rates in Heraklion which are updated daily.  Prices for hire cars are always cheaper when booked around 3 months in advance and we would recommend you do so, one to save money but two to be able to select the vehicle of your choice to suit your travel requirements.
