Automatic car rental at Chania Airport (CHQ)
Select CHQ as pickup and choose the exact automatic car type shown in the form—small automatic, compact automatic or automatic SUV. CDW is included, no rental security deposit is blocked, and optional FDW is +€12/day.
Which automatic type fits your trip
A small automatic is useful for couples and lighter luggage. Compact automatic cars add space for a small family or extra bags. An automatic SUV is the choice when cabin comfort and luggage room matter more than city-size dimensions.
Do not choose only by seat count. If four or five passengers are travelling with several large suitcases, send the luggage count so the vehicle type can be checked realistically.
Airport arrival and transmission confirmation
Use Chania Airport (CHQ) as pickup, enter the real flight arrival or handover time and select the automatic type before submitting the request. The response should confirm that an automatic vehicle is available for the requested dates.
If your flight is late, use the real time. The quote form covers the full 24-hour cycle in 30-minute steps, and any special handover arrangement should be confirmed before travel.
Automatic price and insurance
Automatic types generally start above equivalent manual categories because they are a different vehicle group. The confirmed price still depends on exact dates, duration, availability and route. CDW is included; optional FDW is +€12 per rental day.
Returning in a different city
An automatic car can also be requested for supported one-way routes, including a Chania start with Heraklion return. State the return location from the beginning so availability and any route fee are priced with the correct vehicle movement.
What changes the final quote
Starting rates are a comparison guide. The confirmed total depends on the exact dates, duration, requested vehicle type and transmission, availability, included insurance or optional full insurance, pickup and return points, and any delivery or one-way logistics that apply to the route.
For the most accurate quote, include:
- Pickup and return dates plus real handover times.
- Exact pickup and return locations.
- Car type and required transmission.
- Driver age and passenger/luggage details where relevant.
- CDW or optional FDW preference.
- Flight, ferry, accommodation or special timing information that affects handover.
