Heraklion, Crete — September 5, 2025 — Cretarent, a well-known local car rental company, has announced five new upgrades for the 2025 season. Each change is designed to give travellers more flexibility, smoother service, and better value when exploring the island. As demand for Car Rental Crete continues to rise, these updates aim to make every journey easier and more reliable.

Zero-Deposit Bookings with Free Cancellation

Plans don’t always go the way we expect, and Cretarent is making sure travellers don’t have to pay the price for last-minute changes. Customers can now book a car without paying a deposit and, if needed, cancel up to 72 hours before pick-up at no cost. It’s a simple update that gives peace of mind and keeps travel plans flexible.

Contactless Pick-Up & Drop-Off

Arriving in Crete just got easier. Travellers can now skip the counter with mobile check-in and digital contracts. Cars can be collected or dropped off at Heraklion Airport (HER), Chania Airport (CHQ), ports, and partner hotels.

Family First Policy

Families driving across Crete can take advantage of free child seats (on request) and a complimentary second driver on select bookings. This makes it easier for parents to share the drive while keeping little passengers safe and comfortable.

Long-Term Winter Rentals

Cretarent has introduced long-term packages for digital nomads, expats, and locals staying through the off-season. With affordable monthly pricing, flexible mileage, and full maintenance included, these plans are tailored for the 2025–2026 winter.

Local Partnerships & Bundled Discounts

To add even more value, Cretarent is partnering with hotels and cultural attractions to create bundled offers. These may include discounted road-trip packages, priority vehicle pick-up, or vouchers for local experiences. Designed to highlight the best of the island, these bundles combine the practicality of Car Rental Crete with perks that enrich the travel experience.
