These Terms and Conditions govern the rental of vehicles and related services provided by Minoan King Rent a Car in Crete. By making a reservation or renting a vehicle from us, the renter confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted the following terms.

1. Rental Agreement

The rental agreement is concluded between Minoan King Rent a Car and the renter named in the booking confirmation. The renter is fully responsible for the vehicle during the rental period and must comply with all terms stated herein.

2. Driver Requirements

The minimum age to rent a vehicle depends on the selected vehicle category and is clearly displayed during the booking process. All drivers must hold a valid driving license for at least the minimum required period. An international driving permit may be required for non-EU licenses.

3. Authorized Drivers

Only drivers registered in the rental agreement are permitted to drive the vehicle. Additional drivers may be added at the time of booking or vehicle pickup, subject to applicable conditions.

4. Vehicle Pickup & Return

Vehicles may be collected from airports, stations, or delivered to hotels, apartments, or villas, depending on the selected location. The vehicle must be returned at the agreed time and place stated in the rental agreement. Late returns may result in additional charges.

5. Vehicle Condition

The vehicle is delivered in clean and roadworthy condition. The renter must inspect the vehicle upon pickup and report any existing damage. Failure to report damage may result in liability for repair costs.

6. Rental Period & Extensions

The rental period is defined in the booking confirmation. Any extension must be approved by Minoan King Rent a Car. Unauthorized extensions may invalidate insurance coverage.

7. Fuel Policy

The standard fuel policy is Full to Full. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as at pickup. Missing fuel may be charged at the applicable rate.

8. Insurance & Liability

Basic insurance coverage is included according to Greek law. Optional insurance packages may be available to reduce excess liability. The renter remains liable for damages not covered by insurance, including negligence, misuse, or violation of traffic laws.

9. Prohibited Use

The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities, off-road driving (unless explicitly allowed), racing, towing, or transportation of hazardous materials. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs strictly voids all insurance coverage.

13. Cancellation Policy

Cancellation terms depend on the booking conditions selected at the time of reservation. Any applicable cancellation fees are clearly stated during booking.
