Everything is good, except the store is not located inside the airport. It's about less than 1km away, and there is a shuttle bus for transfers. However, with dozens of car rental companies at the airport, it's quite surprising that a big company like Europcar does not have an airport branch. That said, the environment of the store outside the airport is much better.

When I arrived at the store, they said I couldn’t rent a car with my driver's license. I have used my Chinese driver’s license, notarized Chinese document, and translation to rent cars abroad at least 10 times, including at least 4-5 times in Europe, and this is the first time I've heard that it can't be used. The staff at the car rental company spent half a day on the phone trying to sort it out, but it still didn't work. It wasted at least 2 hours. From daylight until it got dark, my wife and kids were waiting at the pier, it was a real hassle. Later, I asked at Enterprise and Hertz, and they both said it was fine to rent, but Europcar said it wasn't, which is absolutely terrible.

The car was new and in good condition. We have got an upgrade since all cars from the requested category were gone. I understand Crete is dusty due to a lot road's being unpaved.But it was not very clean in general. We had to wait for more than an hour at the airport until someone from Centauro came with the shuttle van to takes us. The drop off was very quick with no issues. Refunds of fuel and deposit all ok.

There are no direct-operated outlets on Crete Island, and this was not disclosed in advance when selecting cars during booking, which resulted in a significant waste of time during pickup.

Generally okay but let down over the childs seat. Was offered two different types on collection but didn’t know which type to take as my daughter arrived late that night. Agent advised to take one type but he’d make sure that the other was available to change to that night if needed. On going to change it that night the agent at the desk had no knowledge of it and no alternative car seat. Being over an hour away from Heraklion it would have meant a return two hour trip to switch the next day. Very unimpressive.

Great from start to finish, flight was delayed we called to let them know, no issues upon collection. I liked the fact they also had staff outside who gave you the car and collected it back at the end of the rental so you dont have to mess about going back and forth to the desk. The car was also great, good spec.

I’ve got a Hertz profile for insurance requested, yet the counter staff confused the options without giving details. “Take excellent or good”, but no details of the packages. Several hundred dollars were added for fear I wasn’t covered properly

The car I rented at Heraklion Airport in Crete was the worst out of the four rentals I had on this trip. The car was small and old, almost like a semi-automatic with very basic features. It only had a radio and nothing else. It didn’t even have automatic headlights. I forgot to turn off the headlights once, and the next morning the battery was dead and the car couldn't start. Even a low-end car from 10 years ago would be better. The staff claimed it was a two-year-old car, but it had over 40,000 kilometers on the odometer, and the paint was cracking. On slopes, you have to press hard on the gas pedal, otherwise, the car would roll back.

The car rental company's service was okay! However, I feel that the insurance package provided by our platform has issues. It always seems complicated. This time, my car was scratched by another vehicle, but it wasn't covered in the insurance policy, so I had to pay 610 euros myself. I think it's very troublesome for the platform to provide domestic insurance services due to language barriers, reporting issues, etc. They also advised against buying the rental company's insurance, so I ended up being the guinea pig! It's better to book directly through the official website.
Reviewed: August 16, 2021
The staff at the car rental company were indifferent. After filling out the form, I couldn't get the rental contract and was asked to take photos of the car myself as the contract, recording any damage through photos. The paper contract had no records; they refused to accept a French bank card, claiming it was a debit card, and required me to buy their insurance for 80 euros on the spot. After I presented a Chinese credit card, they questioned what kind of card it was. After I insisted, they finally processed the pre-authorization successfully; There was no assistance throughout the rental process. The first time I took the car, I couldn't start it. After repeatedly asking the staff for help, who were unwilling to move from the booth, I later found out that the car needed to be in neutral (N) to start; They did not inform me about refueling. When returning the car, the same staff asked for the rental contract. I provided the photos, handed the keys, and that was it.

The car pickup location is extremely hard to find, very hidden and far away. I have rented cars nearly ten times abroad, and this is the first time I encountered a rental company that requires extra attention to the car's interior cleanliness. If they find any trash, water stains, or sand on the seats, they will fine you 80 euros (and even suggest you pay ten euros to wash the car outside before returning it), which adds unnecessary inconvenience to travel. One female staff member had inconsistent car inspection standards, so make sure to take extra photos. The other male staff members were okay. The car was not rented with a full tank, making it difficult to control how much fuel to refill, which is very inconvenient. The rental company tries to scare you by saying local traffic accidents are common to sell insurance and pointed out that off-road scenarios are not covered by insurance. However, many beaches in Crete involve off-road driving; are we supposed to walk there to avoid dehydration!? I suggest avoiding this rental company.

We had already paid the rental fee and full insurance in advance. At pickup, one attendant asked us to pay a 730-euro deposit with a credit card or give him 30 euros in cash. We chose to pay the 730-euro deposit with a credit card. The attendant then said the card didn't go through. Another attendant came and demanded an additional 45 euros for windshield insurance before giving us the car. We offered 30 euros, but the original attendant denied asking for money. We were forced to buy the 45-euro windshield insurance. When we asked to cancel the reservation, they said no refunds. This way, we ended up paying more and the rental cost increased by 70%. Surprisingly, the same credit card went through immediately for the 45-euro charge, showing the issue with the deposit was fake.

We specifically booked a “full to full” policy on the car to avoid all the usual scams but were given a “like for like” and, not surprisingly, it was almost empty. We were “helpfully” directed to the adjacent Shell station to fill up where they, not surprisingly, said that they only had the most expensive octane 100 fuel. We found out that this was also priced 20c/ltr above the norm. There is an EKO fuel station within 3km along the road away from the airport but this was, not surprisingly, not mentioned by the Caldera rep. As a result of this scam we paid rip-off prices for a grade of fuel we didn’t need and had to leave over half a tank of fuel in the car - neither of which would have happened if we had been given what we had booked.

I've had to mark everything as 'Terrible' because, despite booking a VW Polo (automatic) or equivalent 9 months in advance of my arrival, no suitable car was available on the day. I was told that if I wanted an automatic car (which obviously I did as that's what I'd booked) I could either have a Smart car (wouldn't fit my luggage) or a Mercedes Vito (7 seater minibus). Obviously neither were suitable. I was told I'd have to wait until the next day for a suitable car - also not acceptable as my resort was a 1 hour drive from the airport. I was eventually offered a choice of 3 larger manual cars. Of course, I was forced to accept one - a battered up old Ford Focus. What a treat, thanks Keddy by Europcar. I don't drive a manual car at home so wasn't keen on doing so in a foreign country - hence I'd booked an auto. The company was not willing to compensate us financially as the Focus was in a higher bracket to a Polo. Hardly a benefit when you want a small car you can swing through the tight roads and park without fear. Needless to say I didn't get the use out of the car that I expected, as I wasn't comfortable driving it...

The car was not what we had booked. Although a bigger model the car was not in good mechanical condition and struggled with the hills in Crete.

All went smoothly and I was pleasantly surprised not to be harassed about excess insurance. Two issues though, directions to global’s office were very poor, and the car had rusty small dents on 3 of the 4 corners, plus a broken wing mirror. Neither the rep or I spotted the latter but fortunately I took photographs which seemed to prove a lifesaver. I got the impression that without that proof I would have been charged. I can’t help feel suspicious, why was the mirror not repaired and why did this damage not appear on the initial paperwork? How many customers have been charged for damage which has not been repaired?
