KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hersonissos

  • If you’re booking car hire in Hersonissos, you’ll find it's the best way to get around the town and visit other places on the island of Crete. Relying on public transportation in Crete is not the best idea, as buses are infrequent, and you may spend a while waiting for one to turn up. With a hire car, you’ll have all the freedom to drive around and visit places like Heraklion, which is around 25 minutes from Hersonissos. At the same time, you can get to the south side of the island in just over an hour.
  • When you hire a car in Hersonissos, you’ll get to choose from a range of cars and deals with the car hire agencies at Heraklion Airport. So, if you’re arriving in Crete on a flight, you can arrange to collect your hire car once you’ve collected your luggage. The car hire desks are very easy to find and are on the ground floor of the terminal building in the Arrivals Hall. Make sure to search for your vehicle through KAYAK and book in advance to get the best price available.
  • Once you’ve collected your Hersonissos hire car and you’re heading out in the car for the first time, you’ll find that streets can be quite narrow within the town. You’ll have to contend with tight turns, so driving slowly in these parts is best. Sometimes there are no traffic signs, so you must use your best judgement on some of the quieter streets, particularly when it comes to slowing down and stopping at minor intersections.
  • When driving around Hersonissos, try to avoid certain roads during rush hour, as they can get a little congested. However, Hersonissos is a small town, so traffic can clear quickly compared to large cities. The main road leading into the centre of town, the EO92, is best avoided during morning and evening rush hours. If you’re driving outside Hersonissos, be careful of the mountainous roads with the potential for falling rocks and herds of animals crossing the roads.
  • Book your car hire in Hersonissos at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Hersonissos are around 30% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car do you recommend for driving in Hersonissos?

    In Hersonissos, you will probably feel more comfortable driving around town in a small compact car, especially as the roads can be very narrow in the centre of town, and you’ll appreciate the extra space when trying to squeeze past other cars. However, if you plan to drive around the rest of the island, there are a lot of mountainous roads to contend with, and a powerful SUV may be more appropriate for this terrain.

  • What’s the speed limit in Hersonissos?

    It’s essential to know the speed limits in Hersonissos as they can vary depending on the streets you’re driving on. Normally on tight roads, the speed limit is 30 kph, but most urban roads in the town have a limit of 50 km/h. If you want to venture outside the town and across Crete, the speed limit is 90 kph on the motorways. Driving carefully is paramount to safety due to the tight corners and the rocky mountainous roads outside town.

  • Where are the best places to park in Hersonissos?

    After picking up your car hire in Hersonissos, you can find the best places to park around the popular attraction parks that have free parking all day. Many of the local beaches in the area also have free parking, but at other beaches, you'll have to pay for parking, though it's only a small fee. It can be hard to find decent street parking in the town itself, but some car parks on the edge of town are convenient, such as those near neighbouring Piskopiano village.
