Safety & unlimited kilometers at the price

You land at "Nikos Kazantzakis" and your vacation wants to start right away, not in a queue in front of a counter or with an unpleasant surprise at the moment of charging. We are waiting for you at arrivals, with the car ready and the keys in hand. We are a family business in Crete since 1992 and we start every rental with something simple that the big chains have forgotten: trust.

No deposit, no hold on your card

Comparison platforms and large chains lure you in with a window price and then, at the counter, they block hundreds or even thousands of euros on your credit card as a deposit. The money remains frozen for the duration of your vacation, just when you want it available.

At JK Tours we work differently. We do not ask for a deposit and we do not hold an amount on your card. The combined insurance (CDW) and unlimited mileage are already included in the price you see, without any fine print. You pay what we agreed and leave in peace.

We can do it because we are here, in Agia Pelagia, and we greet each other by name. This is how a thirty-year-old family business works: with people, not with commitments.

Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER) is located about five kilometers east of Heraklion and is the most convenient starting point to explore the island at your own pace. In a few minutes you are in the city center and the archaeological site of Knossos. In half an hour you reach Agia Pelagia or Hersonissos, while the northern road axis takes you comfortably west to Rethymno and Chania or east to Agios Nikolaos.

With a car from day one you don't have to wait for buses and you don't miss out on hidden beaches that public transport doesn't reach.
