KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Elounda

  • Car hire in Elounda would be a great advantage, as the small fishing town is a narrow linear town and getting from one side to the other can be quite a schlep without a vehicle. Public transport is also quite limited in the town, and most people often walk or drive to where they need to go. In the summer, it can reach above 40 degrees Celsius, so air conditioning would be great for any visitor choosing to hire a car in Elounda.
  • Heraklion Airport N. Kazantzakis (HER) is a close airport to Elounda and offers many car hire agencies, which can be booked through KAYAK, ready for your collection upon arrival. Once you have hired a car for your trip to Elounda, you will need to head east for a short hour, where you will drive through beautiful vineyards before reaching the small fishing town of Elounda. Be sure to book your Elounda car hire beforehand, to save time when arriving for your holiday.
  • Elounda is small; due to its beauty, intrigue and amazing landscapes and attractions, people from all over often flock to the town, which limits parking. Roads are also narrow, and often the walkways are busy with visitors, so maintain a close eye to avoid any collisions. When hiring a car in Elounda, you're able to head to any hotel, restaurant and other attraction that is just a stone's throw away by a vehicle.
  • There are essentially two main roads that head in and out of Elounda, and they are often the cause of some congestion when heading to the outskirts of the town; be sure to either leave earlier in the morning or later in the evening to avoid this. Hiring a car in Elounda is great but be sure to stick to speed limits, as the town is relatively slow and quiet, and respecting the local residents is a great way to show your appreciation for their town.
  • Book your rental car in Elounda at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Elounda are around 30% cheaper than other car types, on average
