For auto rentals of any car size and class, in either manual transmission or automatic, you can trust our experience to match you with the lowest available price for your preferred car rental in Heraklion.

An international driving permit (IDP) is not required for travelers visiting Greece for less than six months. You may drive a rental car in the country with a valid US license. Visits exceeding 185 days may require you to obtain a Greek license.
The Heraklion airport terminal offers car rental counters in the Arrivals Hall of the terminal, though many companies servicing the airport have off-site lots. If your vehicle is housed a short distance from the terminal, off-site, they will provide you with a courtesy shuttle to get you to your rental vehicle.
Because we reserve so many cars with these agencies each year, we are able to negotiate special discounted rates with Heraklion Airport car booking companies which you cannot find elsewhere. As a result, even booking with any of these companies directly, you will end up paying a more expensive rate than you will when renting with Auto Europe. Your transportation is simple to book, regardless of what kind of vehicle you want to drive. By working with the very best local rental car operators, you have access to every type of rental car available at Heraklion Airport. Select the best daily rental car rate and save, choosing the ideal car and price that best suits your needs using our 3-step rental car search engine on this page. If any questions arise or desire help, do not hesitate to telephone Auto Europe toll-free, any time, around the clock to resolve your problem with an experienced rental car expert.
Travelers will have access to a commercial bank, currency exchange office, and ATM within the terminal building, and there is a duty-free shop and cafe bar which serves drinks and snacks in the terminal as well.
