Especially in the touristically well developed north of Crete, but also in all larger towns of Crete there are different providers of rental cars.
If you arrive individually by plane, you can rent a car right at the airport of Heraklion. Even easier is the offer of many car rental companies to pre-order a car for the day of arrival.
The rental car is then ready at the airport for pickup and departure to Plakias.
Depending on the provider, the car can be handed in at certain locations in Crete or again at the airport. Some car rental companies offer their customers an additional service and take the rental car to almost any desired location in Crete.
