Passenger, luggage and route guide
The smallest car with enough seats is not always the right car. Use the most heavily loaded transfer day to choose the vehicle.
| Typical trip | Good starting point | Why | Check before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 people, light luggage | Small manual / small automatic | Easy Chania parking and lower starting tiers | Automatic requirement, suitcase size |
| 2–4 people, several bags | Compact manual / compact automatic | More luggage flexibility without a large footprint | Number of large hard-shell cases |
| Family of 4–5 | Family/estate or SUV | Better fit for bags, stroller and child-seat needs | Exact occupancy and bulky equipment |
| 6–7 travellers | 7-seater | One vehicle for a small group | Full-occupancy luggage space |
| 8–9 travellers | 9-seater minivan | Keeps a larger group together | Bag count, driver eligibility, one-way availability |
| Chania → Heraklion open-jaw trip | Any suitable available type | Vehicle should fit the whole transfer day | Return point, handover time and route fee |

Fleet & car-type FAQ
Are the exact car models guaranteed?
Model names are examples of the requested type. The confirmed vehicle may be the listed model or a similar equivalent unless an exact model is specifically confirmed.
Is CDW included in every car type?
Yes. Basic CDW is included.
Can I choose FDW for any car?
Optional FDW can be requested at +€12/day for eligible confirmed vehicles and gives zero excess for covered damage, subject to exclusions.
Which car is best for one or two people?
A mini or economy car can work well for light luggage; choose compact if you carry several large bags.
Which car is best for four adults with luggage?
A compact, family/estate or SUV may be more realistic depending on the number and size of bags.
Does a 7-seater fit seven large suitcases?
Not necessarily. Full occupancy can reduce luggage space; send the real bag count.

Capacity depends on the exact vehicle and luggage sizes; provide the full group/luggage details.
Which automatic types can I request?
Small automatic, compact automatic and automatic SUV examples are listed, subject to date availability.

What is the cheapest starting car type?
The current lowest published starting rate is €20/day for a small manual car, subject to dates and availability.
Are starting rates fixed for the whole year?

Which type is best for easy Chania parking?
