Royal Rentals at Crete Airport Chania

Pros: Very fast service, without any problems. My deposit was refunded in 2-3 days. Very recommended.

Pros: Car wasn't the one i booked and fuel tank was nearly empty and when we picked up was late so we struggled to find fuel..

Pros: Close to the airport

Cons: A little difficult to find the right hole in the fence, carrying suitcases through stones and rocks

Pros: Clean car, friendly staff

Cons: I booked a medium car (polo or similar) but all they had was a yaris which is a mini car

Cons: The condition of the van was below average. the window did not open and it was quite hot

Pros: I would like to thank the staff who have been very helpful after I was robbed of my bag which included my rented car key. They did everything possible to provide me with a replacement key (which I had to pay for and will claim through Discovery cars insurance) within the day and also delivered to my hotel.

Pros: we liked the service, but the car's condition was poor

Cons: the front window of the car was dirty, there was no window cleaner. something was banging on the back of the vehicle (car muffler, shock absorber?). tire pressure was too low.

Pros: the returning of the car was great, the man who took it was kind and even dropped us of at out new airbnb.

Cons: as I said the pick up of the car was very problematic and wasted a lot of our time and energy. also, when we asked about a possibility of (very justified) compensation, we were told that we can try but we probably will not get one - which is a rood response.

Pros: Royal rentals were friendly helpful and supportive when we had an issue. Will definitely recommend and use again

Pros: Friendly and honest service

Cons: Non

Pros: Dobra lokalizacja, blisko lotniska, profesjonalizm.

Cons: N/A

Cons: the women yelled at us and was not nice at all, didnt care about what we wanted and didnt care aboute "discover cars" like its not related to her company.

Pros: Very reliable and supportive

Pros: The lady was great. No hassle rental

Cons: The car was a very tired 8 year old Nissan Micra automatic that if I was to buy it wouldn't have been much more than what we rented it for! We were expecting a more modern car for the money.

Pros: I had read alot of bad reviews but it was nothing like that at all. They were absolutely fantastic and was always ready to help.

Cons: When booking, I chose a strictly defined car: Mercedes-Benz A Class. Not a similar car, not a class of car, but a specific car. When I came to pick up the car with two small children, I was told that there was no car, that I had to take either a lower class car or get out. They said it was my problem that they didn't have a car. They said they had a lower class Hyundai KONA (very old) and I had to take it or go out. (they don't know the word please and excuse me).

Pros: Efficient and easy, no hassle.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Car worked Wells, staff was helpful and everything went smoothly. Also The Price was competitive. Minus for not allowing to drive to balos lagoon(10km gravel Road) but We found asphalt places to visit.

Pros: Warning light from start of hire on tyre pressure

Pros: I would never rent a car from them again

Cons: Poor attitude and given a very old car

Pros: Quick with the paperwork and choice of cars within my booked category

Cons: Slight walk from the Terminal building but not more than 100 meters

Pros: The people at the front desk was really polite and helpful. No hidden/extra fees in the rental. Car was as expected and in excellent conditions.

Cons: There is room for improvement when it comes to picking up the car. However there was a big group renting quads in front of us that took time.

Pros: Good service by agent

Cons: Condition of car

Pros: Friendly & helpful

Pros: Very friendly personnel, fast processing, clean and new car

Pros: Easy to collect, no issues when returning

Pros: The lady on the desk at both pickup and return was very efficient and helpfully. She handled the paper work very efficiently and had us on the road without delay. She is the main reason for my positive ratings.

Cons: The car was just about passable. It was clean to a basic level. The body work was in very poor condition, there was not a single panel without scratches or dints. The breaks rumbled when applied, and there were various worrying noises when changing gear and turning. In addition, sometimes it was difficult to turn the start key and I thought we were going to be stranded away from the towns. It appears to have been the worst car available as when I returned it the other cars looked much better.

Pros: Picking up the car was fine.

Cons: Absolutely unsatisfactory return of the car. The car rental agent did not show up at all for the scheduled return of the car at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday. He didn't even pick up the phone. On the second number, I only received an apology from a manager and the information that I should throw the keys in the mailbox. After 45 minutes of waiting, a representative from another rental company appeared and checked the car and took the keys. But I still haven't been refunded the €900 deposit.

Pros: I paid for out of hours pick up, the attendant was not at the office at the time expected. However the attendant was incredibly polite and apologised sincerely, which made up for the error entirely.

Cons: While a good price (hence the score for overall value) the car was between 10 and 12 years old and had various minor things wrong with it -- the headlight lenses were yellowed and barely translucent (from being outside in the sun for many years), door rearview mirror controls did not work, electric door locks worked intermittently, rear hatch would not stay reliably in the open position, passenger seat airbag light was always on, whether or not anybody was in the seat, etc.

Pros: Friendly service / informative

Cons: Did as described

Pros: No problems, good price, the possibility of paying one day extra.

Cons: Kiosks quite far from the airport, low amount of petrol in a tank.

Pros: Good service, everything in order, and the car worked perfectly, we recommend it

Cons: The office in Heraklion airport is wrong in Google Maps. They're trying to solve it, so better ask for directions on the spot

Pros: Our late flight was delayed by 2h. I called the Royal rental before our deparure to let them know. The representative kindly waited until 1:45am for us to arrive.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very good service by Royal Rentals

Pros: The staff was correct.

Cons: They do not accept debit card, had to take cash out from a nearby cash machine.

Pros: Stayed late due to plane landing late, so I could pick up car at airport. Also was able to bring car back the next morning as it was too big, and they had a smaller one they had found for me.

Pros: Friendly people!

Cons: None

Pros: Great staff

Cons: Car cleanliness

Pros: Pickup and return was ok-ish. Royal - at least at the pickup point was a very small one person hut but we got the paperwork done fairly quickly.

Cons: The car was absolute trash. It had run more then 164k km and was making the weirdest noises all of the time. There was so little wiperwasher fluid that it became dangerous to continue to drive on the 2nd day!!

Pros: Easy pick up and drop off.

Cons: We booked a 9 seater with air con for 7 adults and 2 babies. We were given a vehicle with no air con just a ‘cold’ fan which wasn’t even slightly enough for the temperatures in Crete. We had to purchase hand held battery fans to keep the babies cool. Journeys were very uncomfortable which was a shame as we wanted to explore more of the island but going too far was unbearably hot. We were offered another vehicle when we got there with ‘better’ air con but at a higher price. False advertising!

Pros: Best price, easy to deal with, honest.

Cons: The interior wasn't as clean as it could have been, was ok for me, may e not for others

Pros: Patient to answer questions. Car was relatively new and efficient. We did have to pump 1 tire and change wind screen cleaner + the fluid.

Cons: Booked car was not available.

Pros: Very polite. Quick and with personal attention

Cons: none

Cons: car was dirty on collection, parcel shelf broken, tried to claim we had caused damage on return.

Pros: Great experience with this company. I would use them again!

Pros: Friendly pick-up in Chania (good advice given about local area!!).

Cons: Nothing, except slightly hard to find drop-off at Heraklion

Pros: The people working there were polite and helpful

Cons: Car was dirty, had empty bottles from a previous customer under all the seats.A/C was not working on our first day so they gave us another car for a day until they fixed it.The automatic car in general needed a lot of time in order to gain speed, especially when overtaking another car something that was quite dangerous overall. I think this car should be not offered to customers for safety reasons. Really disappointed as I paid £150 extra than if I was getting a manual car. I felt out of pocket

Pros: Staff very friendly and no waiting either way

Pros: I dit not like the service

Cons: They gave us a car with a broken light, and said we should pay for it at drop off. We delivered the car with a little dust on and they Said they would take up to 300€ for cleaning it. Very bad experince in a foreign countries, they tried to scam me. Very rude people, with very bad english.

Pros: Freindly. No insurance sales effort.

Cons: Too old and dirty car to the Price. All My credit card information was noted down in the contract. Only acceptable since it can not be used online without my appoval due to Better safety rules.

Pros: The efficiency and the service.

Cons: I didn’t like the limitation of not being able to go on dirt roads like Balo. It should be written in advance.

Pros: The person we picked the car up from was very efficient and friendly. Booking the car was easy and the process was simple. The money blocked off on my card was quickly released.

Cons: The people we picked the car up from tried to penalise us for returning the car with some dust on it, even though we had picked it up in this condition. However, after showing them some videos they conceded this was not our fault and did not add on the extra charge. This was a quick exchange however and did not affect our positive experience with RR, we would simply recommend all renters take videos of the car they pick up; I do NOT feel RR was trying to con us with extra charges.

Pros: The customer service and communication in Chania was very good.

Cons: The car wasn't in great shape (lots of scrapes and a headlight was out).
