Car Rental at Chania Airport Pickup Process Explained   Recently updated !


Imagine you land in Chania. You know where you are staying. Your plans are set. The only remaining question is simple: How quickly can you get your car and be on the road? At Mythos Car Rentals, we have designed our Chania Airport pickup to be personal, fast, and straightforward so you start your journey without uncertainty, queues, or shuttle buses. Here is exactly how it works.

What Happens Right After You Land

Chania Airport is small and efficient. After landing, you collect your luggage and walk into the arrivals area. This is the moment where many travelers hesitate, looking around, wondering where to go next.

With Mythos Car Rentals, there is no guesswork.

One of our colleagues will be waiting for you at the arrivals area, holding a small sign with your name on it. You do not need to approach a counter or search for a desk.

You see us. We greet you. And we take care of the rest.

No Shuttle Bus. Your Car Is Nearby.

Many rental companies require:

• A shuttle bus ride
• A drive to an off-site office
• Additional waiting and paperwork

We don’t do that.

After meeting you, we walk together directly to your car, which is parked very close to the airport terminal. There are no transfers, no shared vans, and no delays caused by other passengers.

This simple difference saves time and removes stress, especially after a flight.

The Pickup Process: Step by Step

Our process is designed to be quick and human.

1. Meet Us at Arrivals

Our colleague will meet you with a name sign at the arrivals area.

2. Quick Document Check

We check your driver’s license and confirm the booking details. Everything is done calmly and clearly.

3. Walk to the Car

Your car is just a short walk away.

4. Car Inspection Together

We inspect the car with you. Any existing marks are noted. You are welcome to take photos or a short video for your own peace of mind.

5. Keys and Final Details

You receive the keys, fuel policy information, return instructions, and a direct contact number if you need us.

In most cases, the entire pickup takes 5–10 minutes.

Direct Communication, Real People

We ask our customers to keep their mobile phone on after landing, so communication is immediate if needed.

You will always have:

• A direct phone number
• On-site assistance
• No call centers
• No automated systems

This ensures flexibility if your flight is early, delayed, or changes unexpectedly.

What to Have Ready Before You Arrive

To keep everything smooth, please have:

• Your driving license
• Your passport or ID
• Your booking confirmation is saved on your phone
• The mobile number you will use in Greece

Being prepared helps keep the pickup fast and effortless.

Understanding Coverage at Pickup

We believe coverage should be clear, not confusing.

At pickup, we briefly confirm:

• What is covered in case of damage
• Whether tires and a windshield are included
• Who to call if you need help

A good rental experience starts with transparency, not last-minute pressure.

Think About the Return Before You Drive Away

Before leaving the airport, we explain:

• Exactly where to return the car
• What to do if your return is very early
• The fuel policy

Taking a quick photo of the fuel gauge at pickup is always a good habit.
