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.
Included Free with Every Rental
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 baby or child seats
- Roadside assistance & road map
- 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 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!

10 months agoBest prices in Chania. We looked at over 5 rental cars companies and this one has the best prices by far. For 1 week they quoted us €32 per day (everyone else was quoting over €45) and we also added €12 per day to get full insurance. The day before returning the car we asked to extend our booking and no problem. The car was super new with a full tank.
