Hiring a car at Heraklion International Airport (HER)

Most visitors to the sunny Greek island of Crete arrive in the capital city of Heraklion via Heraklion Airport. Its arrivals area serves passengers that are heading to the capital, and also to nearby inland or coastal towns and resorts. To make the most of your trip, getting around Crete by car is recommended. It's easy and enjoyable, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car offers car hires at Heraklion Airport, so arriving passengers can easily experience the convenience and comfort of having their own transport on the island for as long as they require. The branch can be easily reached from the terminal building, and all of Enterprise's cars are modern, reliable, and fuel-efficient, and they're offered at unbeatable rental rates. Driving to Heraklion from the airport is straightforward, taking only a mere 10 minutes via the westbound coastal route Leof. Ikarou. As a historically important city, Heraklion boasts many artefacts from ancient times that are housed in museums, such as the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. They provide fascinating insights into the earliest civilisations from this part of the world and are well worth a visit. Each part of the island also has its own unique charms, and many other destinations on the island can be reached from the airport by bypassing Heraklion via the A90 coastal route and other inland routes. Wherever you decide to visit on the idyllic island of Crete, rest assured, an Enterprise car hire will serve you well and comfortably for as long as you need it.

To rent a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the United States and Canada, you will need the following:

  • To be 25 years old 
  • A valid driving licence with a photo
  • A photo ID (for example: a driving licence or passport)
  • Credit or debit card (check the acceptable forms of payment at the location you're renting from)

Some locations may require additional information, including but not limited to: 

  • An International Driving Permit (IDP): If the licence is written in a language or characters different from those of the country of rental, an IDP is also required. Renters are advised to check whether local authorities require foreign drivers to present an International Driving Permit to avoid the risk of potential fines. Renters with licences from countries that are not part of the International Driving Permit Agreement should carry a certified translation.
  • Return travel and accommodation information: Visitors to the UK must also provide proof of return travel and accommodation information while in the UK. 

As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.

  • You may refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you picked up the vehicle, or if you choose not to refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level, you will be charged the local Enterprise rate which is typically above the local pump price. An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • A full tank of fuel is not guaranteed.
