Benefits of Renting a Hybrid Vehicle
Hybrid vehicles have gained a lot of popularity in recent years due to their eco-friendly characteristics and fuel efficiency. When you rent a hybrid vehicle from Heraklion Airport, you are making a choice that not only benefits your wallet, but also the environment.
Eco-Friendly Travel
Hybrid vehicles, such as the Toyota Yaris Hybrid and Toyota C-HR Hybrid available at AUTO-UNION, emit fewer greenhouse gases compared to conventional vehicles. This means you're contributing less to air pollution and climate change, making your trip more eco-friendly.
Fuel Efficiency
Hybrid vehicles are known for their high fuel efficiency. They use a combination of a gasoline engine and an electric motor to provide power, which helps them achieve better fuel economy.

Smooth and Quiet Ride
Another benefit of renting a hybrid vehicle is the smooth and quiet ride it offers. The transition between the gasoline engine and the electric motor is seamless in hybrid vehicles. This can contribute to a more enjoyable and comfortable journey, whether you're exploring the city of Heraklion or travelling to other parts of Crete.
Cost-Effective
While hybrid vehicles can be more expensive to rent initially, the savings you make on fuel costs can offset this. Given the fuel efficiency of models like the Toyota Yaris Hybrid and the Toyota C-HR Hybrid, you can expect to make fewer stops at the gas station, leaving more time to explore your destination.
