HERAKLION CAR HIRE REVIEWS
Car hire reviews in Heraklion
Capital of Crete and the island's main port, Heraklion offers a fine blend of ancient history with all the benefits and attractions of a modern seaside destination. Its lively waterfront area is blessed with many fine al fresco restaurants, tree-lined squares and several excellent museums, and all within a few minutes of Ammoudara Beach, one of the best in the Mediterranean. In ancient times, Heraklion was the port of Knossos where the Minoans (Europe's oldest-known civilization) traded gold, saffron and ceramics. Today, The magnificent Palace of Knossos is not only Crete's top attraction but one of the most important tourist sites in the whole of Europe. Located just 3 miles south-east of the city, this vast archaeological treasure trove is remarkable for its elaborate decoration, some of which dates back to 2000 BC. Spread across almost 30 different galleries, the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in the centre of town depicts more than 5,500 years of history, displaying many of the precious artifacts unearthed at nearby Knossos, most notably the world-famous and perfectly-preserved Prince of the Lilies fresco dated 1550 BC. Heraklion's Old Town is an extensive maze of pedestrianised streets with around 1,000 shops selling food, souvenirs and the very best in Cretian handicrafts. The island of Crete (the largest in Greece) is best seen by road, and with a car hire in Heraklion you can discover the island's many highlights, such as Chania (the second-largest town in Crete) and Agios Georgios, one of the most atmospheric places on the island.
With over 65 years' experience providing quality car hire at the cheapest prices, Auto Europe now offers more than 24,000 point-up and drop-off points in over 180 different countries around the world. You can collect your car rental in Heraklion in the heart of town or at Heraklion Airport located just 3 miles east of the city centre. The island is perfect for touring and Auto Europe can offer you a wide range of vehicles, from a sumptuous SUV to a modern minivan for that exciting road-trip around Crete. Why not read the opinions of others in our Heraklion car hire reviews section below before planning your next motoring holiday on the island.

" Very straightforward in booking a car and having the necessary paperwork for the hire car company, Green Motion, at the airport. They are generally good value for money. I would therefore recommend them to anyone wanting a hire car anywhere in the world "
" Unlike reviews about Green Motion at other airports, at Heraklion they are fine. The paperwork at the airport desk was pretty swift. The pick-up was from a compound about 100m away from Arrivals. The car was in excellent condition as it was fairly new, pretty comfortable and a boot that was big enough for our suitcases. The one negative was that if there'd been a problem with it, then I'd have had to walk back inside the terminal building to the office to get it sorted. We had 2 trouble-free weeks with the car and when I returned it to the same compound at the airport, there was someone to check it over and complete the necessary paperwork. All-in-all, a very good experience in renting a hire car from Green Motion. I recommend them to you "
