Vacanza Car Rentals – Reliable Car Hire in Chania
If you’re planning to explore Crete by car, Vacanza Car Rentals is one of the most trusted choices in Chania. With over 10 years of experience, the company offers a wide range of new vehicles, from compact city cars to SUVs and minibuses—always at competitive prices and focusing on customer satisfaction.
What Makes Vacanza Stand Out
Vacanza stands out for its customer-first approach. The company does not pre-authorize your credit card, showing complete trust in its customers—something quite rare in the car rental industry. Their team works hard to deliver excellent service across Chania, Rethymno, and Heraklion, combining professionalism, flexibility, and value for money.
Whether you want to visit remote beaches, traditional villages, or archaeological sites, driving a Vacanza rental car will give you the freedom, comfort, and safety you need to experience Crete at your own pace.

Vacanza offers several free amenities that enhance your experience:
- Free delivery and pickup at Chania Airport, your hotel, villa, or apartment
- Unlimited kilometres
- No credit card is required
- No hidden charges
- Free extra driver

- Free parking, just 600m from the old town*
Centrally Located in Chania
The main office is located at 105 Halidon Street, one of the most central streets in Chania—just 200 metres from the Venetian harbour and the entrance to the old town. If you’re staying in the old city, Vacanza rent a car is an excellent choice thanks to its free nearby parking and easy access.
Tip: If you stay in the old town, Vacanza is an excellent option. It offers free parking 600 metres from the office—a rare and valuable benefit in this busy, pedestrian-friendly area.

3 weeks agoI’ve rented from Vacanza two years in a row now, and both experiences have been absolutely fantastic. From the moment of booking to the return process, everything was smooth and professional. The cars were clean, well-maintained, and ready on time each year. Drop off and pickup is flawless, and you can choose between different locations for both. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for them. I couldn’t have asked for better service, and I’ll definitely be renting from Vacanza again. Highly recommended!

2 weeks agoExceptional service and competitive pricing. The staff at Vacanza are both professional and helpful, making the whole process incredibly easy. I rented an automatic vehicle in Chania, (which can sometimes be quite difficult to find, not to mention expensive. ) They offered a great price for a new model. Very happy with the quality of the vehicle and the experience. Thank you !!

a month agoThis company was recommended to us by our hotel, and our expectations were exceeded. The rates were low and the staff was friendly and very helpful. We were able to rent a car day-of, after deciding it would be useful to get around, with the option to get an automatic car. Further, after receiving a parking ticket, one of the colleagues went with us to the police station and helped us get it sorted out (even providing us with a replacement vehicle at no extra charge). Lastly, they allowed us to pick up in downtown Chania and drop off at the Heraklion Airport, which saved us a ton of hassle. Could not recommend them more!
