The Countryman is the grown-up Mini: proper back seats, a usable boot and a panoramic roof that turns the mountain drive into a viewing gallery.
Parking sensors are standard, which you will appreciate in Chania.

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
Manual or automatic?
This one is manual. Ask us about automatic alternatives if you would rather not shift.
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.
