About Chania Airport Pickup

Chania Airport is relatively compact, but rental companies operate from two different types of locations: desks inside the terminal and offices located just off-site. We'll walk you through exactly what to do, no matter which type of pickup your booking specifies.

Part 1

Step-by-Step Guide: From Baggage Claim to Your Car

Follow these chronological steps for a seamless transition from your flight to the driver's seat.

Exiting Baggage Claim
After you've collected your luggage from the carousels, you will pass through a set of sliding glass doors into the main public arrivals hall. This is a single, relatively small hall, so it's very easy to get your bearings. You will immediately see cafes, ATMs, and the car rental area.
Locating Your Rental Company
Your QEEQ.COM rental voucher will tell you the name of the car rental provider you need to find (e.g., Hertz, Caldera, Sixt, etc.). The pickup process depends on whether your provider is in-terminal or off-site.

Finding Your Rental Provider

In-Terminal Desks

Off-Site / Shuttle

For In-Terminal Rental Desks

Location

As you enter the arrivals hall from baggage claim, look immediately to your right. You will see a row of branded car rental counters lining the wall.

Companies

This is where you will typically find the major international brands: Avis / Budget, Hertz / Thrifty, Sixt, Europcar, Enterprise / National / Alamo.

Process

Simply find the desk for your provider, wait in line, and present your documents. The agent will complete the paperwork, hand you the keys, and direct you to the dedicated rental car parking lot, which is just a short walk from the terminal building.

Chania Airport (CHQ) Car Rental Directory

Most car rental companies at Chania Airport operate daily, typically from around 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

Important Note

Virtually all companies at CHQ operate on a "meet-and-greet" basis for pre-booked rentals. This means that as long as you have provided your flight number in your QEEQ.COM booking, their staff will wait for you to arrive, even if your flight is delayed late into the night.

Essential Pickup Checklist

Keep these points in mind for a smooth handover.

Pickup Checklist

Check Your Voucher
Your QEEQ.COM voucher is your guide. It will name your specific rental provider and often includes pickup instructions and a local phone number.
Documents Ready
Have the following documents easily accessible: your driver's license from your home country, your passport, a credit card in the main driver's name (debit cards are rarely accepted), and an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license is not issued in a Roman-alphabet country. The IDP is strongly recommended for all non-EU license holders.
Inspect the Vehicle
Before you drive away, walk around the car with the company agent. Point out any scratches, dents, or scuffs and ensure they are marked on the rental agreement diagram. Take photos or a short video with your smartphone for your own records.
Save the Number
Program the local branch's phone number from your voucher or the list above into your phone. This is invaluable if you have a question, are running late for your return, or need roadside assistance.

Conclusion & Summary

Picking up your car at Chania Airport is a straightforward process when you know what to expect. The key is to check your QEEQ.COM voucher to determine if your rental provider is inside the terminal (to your right) or requires a quick shuttle ride (outside the main exit).

By having your documents ready and doing a quick vehicle inspection, you'll be on the road and starting your Cretan adventure in no time.

Enjoy your trip and the freedom of exploring the magnificent island of Crete with your rental car from QEEQ.COM!
