The Family Behind Summer Drive

A Cretan rental business with a simple promise: honest prices, real cars, and a phone that actually gets answered.

We started in 2020 with a small fleet, a single phone number, and one rule: no fine print. Five years and over 167+ five-star reviews later, that rule still runs the business.

We're not a chain. We're not a broker. We don't outsource your booking to a call center in another country. When you email us, the same person who answers will be the one handing you the keys at the airport — and the one picking up if you call from a flat tire on a mountain road at midnight.

That person, most of the time, is Giorgos.

Giorgos Samaritakis

Giorgos Samaritakis founded Summer Drive in 2020. He grew up in Crete, knows every coastal road and mountain shortcut on the island, and built the business around one idea he'd seen too many travelers miss out on: renting a car shouldn't be the most stressful part of your holiday.

He runs the day-to-day personally. That's why his name shows up in nearly every review on our Google profile — not because we ask customers to mention him, but because he's the one they actually dealt with. Late flight at 1 a.m.? He's there. Need a recommendation for the best taverna in Archanes? He has three. Lost your way to a beach you can't pronounce? He'll talk you through it on the phone.
