The cheapest automatic in the fleet to run, and surprisingly quick off the line thanks to the electric motor.
A great first automatic if you are used to a manual at home and do not want to learn hill starts on a Cretan gradient.

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
Light steering and a small footprint make town driving and reversing out of a taverna car park genuinely easy.
Luggage advice
Two large cases fit, or one case plus soft bags. Pack soft holdalls rather than hard shells if you are four people.
Road suitability
Ideal on the north-coast national road, coastal routes and narrow village lanes.
Mountain roads
Fine on paved mountain roads with a downshift; happiest below 900 m.
Family suitability
Good for a couple or a family of three to four with moderate luggage. Child seats are available for a small extra fee.
Fuel economy
Among the cheapest cars in the fleet to run - a week of beach hopping rarely costs more than two tanks.
Frequently asked questions
Is it good for mountain villages?
Yes - light, narrow and torquey, which is the right combination for hairpins.
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.
