The most capable car in the fleet on gradients. Crete's interior roads climb hard and this one never runs out of breath.
4x4 capability is there for grip on wet asphalt - not for leaving the road, which the rental agreement still forbids.

Self-charging hybrid - no cable, no charging stops. The electric motor does the town driving and the petrol engine takes over on the mountain roads, which is exactly the mix you get on Crete.
Is this the right car for you?
Driving experience
Higher seating gives a much better view over the stone walls that line most Cretan roads, and the extra torque removes the strain on climbs.
Luggage advice
Two large cases plus cabin bags. The square boot swallows beach gear and a cool box without Tetris.
Road suitability
Confident on every paved road on the island, including the rougher asphalt in the south.
Mountain roads
The best choice for Anogeia, Zaros, the Lasithi plateau and long climbs. Note: off-road driving and the Balos gravel track remain strictly forbidden.
Family suitability
Comfortable for four adults or a family of four with real luggage. Child seats available for a small extra fee.
Fuel economy
Moderate. Hybrid versions stay close to a small car in town and only drink on long climbs.
Frequently asked questions
Does 4x4 mean I can drive to Balos?
No. The Balos track is off-limits under every rental contract on the island. Take the boat from Kissamos - it is a better day anyway.
Is there really no deposit?
Correct. No deposit, no excess and no credit-card imprint. You pay for the rental, nothing is blocked on your card.
Where do I collect the car?
We deliver it to your hotel, villa or the airport at no extra cost, and collect it the same way.
Is insurance included?
Yes. Every price includes FCDW full insurance plus WUG - tyres, undercarriage, glass and mirrors - all at €0 excess, along with 24/7 roadside assistance.
Can I take the car on unsealed roads?
No. Every rental agreement in Crete excludes gravel and dirt tracks, and damage there is never covered.
