We look forward to getting you quickly behind the wheel so you can continue your journey in Greece.
Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and one of its most beautiful. There are many points of cultural and historical interest and importance to check out with your rent a car. Drive to the Palaces of Knossos and Phaestost, to visit ancient religious buildings, and the Pantanessa Heraklion. Be sure to visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum as well. You can also take scenic road trips through the inland hillsides full of olive trees and vines that make up the wine producing region of Crete. Whatever is on your Crete itinerary, make the most of it with car rental from Sixt!
No problem, and personnal with rise.
Les points forts : l'accueil de l'agence dans l'aéroport, obtention et retour rapide du véhicule. Personnel polyglotte (En/Fr/De/Greek). Après plus de 700km parcourus la voiture n'a eu aucun souci.
Les points faibles : voiture commandée au départ Nissan Micra pour au final une Fiat Panda ou sinon le choix avec une Twingo et une Volkswagen (heureusement nous n'étions que deux et ça convenait tout de même). La voiture n'a pas de très bons rapports pour les routes crétoises (presque souvent en 3eme, pied au plancher, dans les côtes pour une allure descente).
Les points flous : le choix de l'assurance tout risque de 95€ à payer directement et rendus à la fin ou sinon celle à 800€ de bloqués par empreinte qui sont censés être rendus si aucun pb de relevé. J'ai opté pour le premier choix et je n'ai toujours pas été remboursé pourtant aucun pb au véhicule.

The strong points: the reception of the agency in the airport, obtaining and fast return of the vehicle. Multilingual Staff (En / Fr / De / Greek). After more than 700km traveled the car had no problem.
The weak points: car ordered at the start Nissan Micra for the final Fiat Panda or otherwise the choice with a Twingo and a Volkswagen (fortunately we were only two and it was all the same). The car does not have very good reports for Cretan roads (almost often in 3rd, foot to the floor, in the ribs for a downhill pace).
The fuzzy points: the choice of all risk insurance of € 95 to be paid directly and returned at the end or otherwise the € 800 blocked by footprint that are supposed to be returned if no bp of statement. I opted for the first choice and I still have not been refunded yet no pb to the vehicle.
Pourquoi tant de critiques? Accueilli à l aéroport a 2 heures du matin un samedi soir pour récupérer la voiture, proposition assurance mais aucun "forcing", agent très clair et sympathique. La voiture a quelques erraflures indiquées sur le contrat, pas plus mal si il y en a une de plus surtout sur certaines routes crétoise. Retour de la voiture en 5 min, contrôle sans problème malgré la saleté des 900 km parcourus. Aucun frais supplémentaire.

Why so many critics? Greeted at the airport at 2 am on a Saturday night to pick up the car, insurance proposal but no "forcing" agent very clear and friendly. The car has some scratches indicated on the contract, no worse if there is one more especially on some Cretan roads. Return of the car in 5 min, control without problem despite the dirt of the 900 km traveled. No additional fees.
